This is one of those rarities, an animated sequel that improves on the original.

The assumption seems to be that the public can't get enough Minions. Despicable Me 2 sets out to test that assumption to its absolute limit.

Nothing is surprising about Despicable Me 2, but then there’s something very unsurprising about that.

Despicable Me 2 is the exactly same movie as Despicable Me, and I couldn't be more pleased in the fact.

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.

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.

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.
