What to Know

Critics Consensus

Fast paced and teeming with slapstick gags, Despicable Me 4 is as overstuffed as a piñata but full of enough candy to give audiences an enjoyable sugar rush.

Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) The biggest problem with Despicable Me 4 is that it isn't The Minions Movie 2. Aug 15, 2024 Full Review Zaki Hasan San Francisco Chronicle Talk about despicable. Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Ed Potton The Times (UK) Yet it’s saved by the trademark mischief and exuberance of Illumination, the French animators who are as integral to the franchise as Steve Carell’s vaguely Slavic voice acting. Rated: 3/5 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Marta Medina mundoCine Despicable Me 4 is a film that neither takes risks nor seeks to grow with its audience. Another installment that stays firmly in its comfort zone, once again saved by its signature Minion humour. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Marissa Hill Shade Studios As the franchise continues, it will be interesting to see how much longer it can sustain itself with new, creative storylines—or if it might be time to give Gru and his minions a well-deserved break. Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Samantha Schuster Cinéfilo Serial Despite being the fourth installment (sixth if we also count the two "Minions" installments), it finds a way to bring something different but that continues the story of this converted villain. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
