More animated fun in 3D, well just about in 3D.
What's it about? When criminal mastermind uses a trio of orphan girls as pawns for a grand scheme, he finds himself profoundly changed by the growing love between them.
Voice cast: Steve Carrell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Julie Andrews and Miranda Cosgrove
Written by Ken Daurio and Sergio Pablos
Soundtrack by Heitor Pereira and Pharrell Williams
Directed by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud
What I liked? The yellow henchmen (things), Gru
What I didn't like? The lack of real 3D (come on make things jump out at me!).
Summary: Another 3D animated film, another film which only just uses the 3D to any effect, ok it adds depth get past it and make things fly out of the screen!!!! I was trying to avoid the 3D film and the extra cost (yep even I have to pay a small amount for these!) and see the 2D version, but they shifted the times and I couldn't make it!
Getting over the 3D issue, the film itself is very good, not in the league of Pixar, or Disney or even Dreamworks, but it's pretty good. The animation is very nice, and I have to say the yellow helpers are brilliant. The artwork for Gru is good and I thought Carrell did a really good voice for him. The girls are good, along with Segel as Vector, the script was fine, with a good mix of adult jokes to keep me entertained. None of it was hilarious, crying laughing funny, just mildly amusing.
You have to expect a sequel and maybe a cheap spin off using the yellow dudes, but that's the nature of the game!
Overall I enjoyed this and think it will look great on Blu Ray! (8/10)
