08/15/2021 Great movie, funny for adults and kids alike See more John K @UndeadKingUK 6d I saw this film in cinemas back in 2013, I was only 7 when it came out and I still prefer it more than the original because of how many great ideas it has of doing a sequel. The animation was better, the story is excellent and the characters old and new are a great mix to this film. See more Miguel C @Miguel3110 Dec 8 Meu Malvado Favorito 2 termina de montar a família Gru perfeitamente imperfeita, trazendo a Lucy, uma personagem carismática que serve muito bem como par romântico do Gru e mãe das meninas. E o toque de espionagem é tudo de bom. See more Nitro H @nitrohive Oct 30 It’s probably my lest favorite despicable me movie but it’s alright, this movie brought a new legacy character Lucy and then introduced the AVL. I think the villain of this movie was kinda mid. This movie wasn’t like a big plot tho it was gru gets invited to the AVL and then they stop the villain, not the most original plot. See more Bernardo C @Bernardo2016 Oct 29 This is a very big movie, with million of laughs and a creative story with the characters of despicable me. This is a big second movie to kids. See more Russell H Oct 29 So far these are funny with the minions. My daughter seems to like them. See more Read all reviews
