Riley’s review published on Letterboxd:
lore-watched this for Rise of Gru and gotta say that it's super funny to look back on how fucking angry people were at this. i ain't gonna name names, but one guy went on a whole rant in a video about how this is the antithesis to the magic of cinema, and like, really?? the movie's whatever, but i was at least expecting something riskless and bland. there's a high-energy, goofy charm to it that i thought was kind of fun. definitely had a LOT more personality that most Illumination movies (for better or worse). i just really wish this company chose a different art style for their humans, because holy hell.
btw is so weird to think that this movie came out before any of the Disney Star Wars movies.
