"Despicable Me 3" Movie Review

by John Zenoni

I decided to continue on my recent trend of seeing animated films and went to see the latest in the Despicable Me series, "Despicable Me 3." It was very much worth the trip to the theater to see it. In this latest entry, 'The mischievous Minions hope that Gru will return to a life of crime after the new boss of the Anti-Villain League fires him. Instead, Gru decides to remain retired and travel to Freedonia to meet his long-lost twin brother for the first time. The reunited siblings soon find themselves in an uneasy alliance to take down the elusive Balthazar Bratt, a former 1980s child star who seeks revenge against the world.' 

The laughs were plenty and the plot easy to follow. The most hysterical thing about the movie though, and most likely over most kids' heads, was the acting and dialogue of the enemy, Balthazar Bragg. This character really stole the movie in opinion as the character still 'lived' in the 80's and had spiked hair, wore jogging suits, played songs such as 'Bad' by Michael Jackson and 'Money for Nothing' (I Want My MTV) by Dire Straits. He moonwalked when he could. He even called for a dance fight or dance off on a couple of occasions. This was a great, fun movie for all ages.
