Review by issy 🥝 ★★★ 4

the little tagline thing on this app for this film is BACK 2 WORK and I’m not sure if that’s an official tagline from the film’s promotion or if letterboxd came up with that themselves but I have to say that is the laziest tagline I’ve ever read in my entire life. it has no relevance to the themes or specific elements/points of reference of the franchise, it purely bases its limited wit off of the fact that this is the 2nd instalment. you could put that tagline under any sequel and it would work, mission impossible 2? BACK 2 WORK. iron man 2? BACK 2 WORK. you know what they should use for despicable me 4? BACK 4 MORE.…

No point in writing a long review for this one. As with the first film I am at a loss to understand why the franchise is so popular. Sure, the Minions are sort of cute and even occasionally amusing in small doses but here they are used to get all the laughs and they quickly outstay their welcome.
Whilst I disliked the first film at least it had a proper plot whereas this is a series of thinly connected slapstick sketches that are never particularly funny. Even at just over 90-minutes the story is protracted and surprisingly dull given the larger than life characters and pratfalls. It might look slick but this is soulless, excruciatingly long and simply no fun.

A bit weaker than the first one, but still pretty cute and hilarious imo.

Hilarious as hell thanks to total Minion madness, but also completely hollow at its core due to the absence of the very ingredient that made its predecessor an unexpected success of its year, Despicable Me 2 is an unabashedly funny ride when the screen is occupied by the little yellow henchmen but apart from that, everything about this sequel is a step down.
The follow-up to Despicable Me, Despicable Me 2 continues the journey of Gru as the ex-supervillain finds himself adjusting to a normal family life with his three daughters & is also attempting an honest living in the jam business. But when he is recruited by the Anti-Villain League for assistance in their latest investigation, his prime suspect turns…

Review by Gonzo ★★

The Good: Regular minions. Purple minions. Anything involving the minions. Heck, the only worthwhile scene in the entire movie is their cover of legendary R&B group All-4-One's immortal 'I Swear'... which one could now easily find on YouTube.
The Bad: "Hey, guys, the first one made over half a billion dollars, and now they gave us 80 mil to make another one! Alright, come on, let's come up with an even better story! So, does anyone have some great ideas? Anyone?" (silence followed by uproarious laughter) "Man, that was a good one! You're funny. It's a sequel... for a goddamn kids movie. The parents will practically throw their money at us. We don't need no fucking story."—I'm 99% sure this…

I like it, fuck you.
Review by Felipe Fritz ★★

This movie is not funny. It's just not funny.
And to make matters worse, this is where Illumination reeeally started to shove the Minions down people's throats, and if there's one thing I don't want shoved down my throat, it's a fucking Minion.
Review by Hendo (The Movie Journey Podcast) ★

Geez. This is the laziest form of movie. Seriously, NOTHING HAPPENS.
Throw in some Minion gobble-de-gook and make a billion dollars. FFS.

I can't imagine a bigger awards snub in history than this movie not winning every single razzie award.

Better than the first.
Review by Benjamin Longo ★★★★★

How is it that good? This movie is awesome. Since we don’t have to introduce the characters we can get right into it. It has a faster pace and I love it.

Review by Insideout Fan2001 ★★ 3

Time to look back at the Fan Favorite in the Despicable Me Series, the one I initially loved at one point & oh boy it doesn't Age well. It may be now my 2nd Favorite Illumination Movie but that ain't saying much. I sure had fond memories of this film when I saw it in Cabo MX for my 12th Birthday. I'll still always remember the day I saw it. Though maybe would've gone seen Man of Steel instead at the time. That would've been Awesome!

It totally lost the ideas of the first film and remained a romantic comedy of errors.
