  1. Despicable Me 2@cinetv857d

    Ah Gru, the amount of times I watched this film when my kid was around 5 years old is insane. I know this film inside out and with my eyes closed. My kid seemed to LOVE the despicable me series somehow. Don't know what fascinated him to it, but I must have seen this film like no joke, over 500 times.

    This is not one of Disney's Pixar movies but one from Illuminum Entertainment and has a more adult feel to it. Of course everything in there is completely for kids, but adults can watch this film and enjoy it for what it is also. I think most adults can relate to either Gru or Lucy.

    Anyway, we start off with despicable me 2 with Gru having a birthday party for his adopted daughters.

    For context in the first film Gru adopted his daughters from the children's home to carry out a master plan to gain himself entry to the villain he hates hideout. He caught them selling cookies to him, and realised he could gain access through the girls. One thing led to another and Gru fell in love with those kids, exposing his soft heart, something he hadn't known since he was a child and ended up keeping them for real.

    We start off the second film as Gru is cleaning up for his daughters after a messy birthday party and he is approached by a field agent from the anti villain league, Lucy Wilde (voiced by Kristen Wiig). Obviously grew was not interested and tried to incinerate her, but, Lucy is a smart cookie and ends up knocking him unconscious with ease. She piles him into her car and leaves for the defamation league hideout.

    Two minions spot Lucy stuffing Gru in the trunk of her car and decide to go investigate and try to help Gru but Lucy was prepared and knocked them both unconscious too -- and they speed off on their way to the top secret hideout of the anti villain league.

    When they arrive they get to a submarine deep in the middle of nowhere and she upends both minions and Gru out of the car and into the limelight where he sits in front of what seems to be a big cheese room where decisions are made.

    That's when they meet Silas Ramsbottom, a stuffy superior in the Anti Villain League. He explains to Gru that since he's an ex criminal, and has the mind of a criminal, they would like him to work with Lucy to catch an evasive criminal. They don't know who he is, nor where he is likely to strike again, and that's why they all have to work together to pick up some leads.

    Far away from the excitement of catching villains and giving people their due comeuppance, Margo, Gru's eldest child is getting interested in boys and takes a fancy to Antonio Perez and is hiding it from her father, and, all is not what it seems.

    I'll leave it there. I don't like spoiling stories for anyone but it's like I say, one that I've seen a trillion times with my kid. I'm sure you have too if you happen to have a son or daughter just starting their teens about now.

    The Despicable Me series is quite different from the Pixar stories. These ones have a little flash of adultness to them, whilst at the same time being written for kids. I say this because whenever a new Gru and Lucy come out to air, I'm one of the first ones to be watching it, with or without my son.

    So I loved this one. I hope you do too!

    Plot / Trama

    This film shows us a new adventure in which Gru this time will work for the good guys since the anti-villain league will recruit him to work alongside agent Lucy Wilde to discover and capture the thief of the PX-41 serum (which causes mutations and turns anyone who is injected into a monster). To investigate, Gru and Lucy pose as employees at a shopping center to investigate people, among whom they meet Eduardo Pérez, owner of a Mexican restaurant whom Gru suspects is a supervillain called "El Macho" although he is supposed to be who died a long time ago. Although Gru and Lucy's relationship was strictly professional at first, over time they end up falling in love with each other. After believing that they failed in the mission, they end up discovering that Eduardo is indeed "El Macho" and is behind the theft of the serum and that together with Dr Nefario (Gru's former partner) they have been kidnapping and mutating the minions to dominate the world. However, in the end Nefario joins them and together, they manage to defeat Macho and with an antidote they manage to return the minions to normal. The film ends with the wedding of Gru and Lucy, along with Gru's daughters, Margo, Agnes and Edith, become a family.

    Esta película nos muestra una nueva aventura en la que Gru esta vez trabajará para los buenos ya que la liga anti villanos lo reclutará para que trabaje junto a la agente Lucy Wilde para así descubrir y capturar al ladrón del suero PX-41 (el cual provoca mutaciones y convierte en monstruo al que se lo inyecten). Para investigar, Gru y Lucy se hacen pasar por empleados en un centro comercial para investigar a las personas, entre las cuales conocen a Eduardo Pérez, dueño de un restaurante mexicano el cual Gru sospecha que es un supervillano llamado "El Macho" aunque se supone que murió hace tiempo. Aunque la relación de Gru y Lucy al principio era estrictamente profesional, con el tiempo se terminan enamorando mutuamente. Luego de creer que fallaron en la misión, terminan descubriendo que efectivamente Eduardo es "El Macho" y está detrás del robo del suero y que junto al Dr Nefario (antiguo compañero de Gru) han estado secuestrando y mutando a los minions para dominar el mundo sin embargo, al final Nefario se une a ellos y juntos, logran derrotar al Macho y con un antídoto logran volver a los minions a la normalidad. La película termina con la boda de Gru y Lucy que junto a las hijas de Gru, Margo, Agnes y Edith forman una familia.

    My Opinion / Mi Opinión

    Although it's often thought that movie sequels are not as good as the first, I would dare to say that this is the exception since I liked it as much, or more, than the first. The story is quite funny and entertaining, and the first time I saw it in the cinema it never bored me. I really liked the work of the voice actors in general because I think they managed to give a good touch and make their characters evolve, and I really liked that actors like Miranda Cosgrove, Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, Benjamin Bratt and Russell Brand formed part of the cast because I have admired them a lot for a long time.

    Aunque se suele pensar que las secuelas de las películas no con tan buenas como las primeras, me atrevería a decir que esta es la excepción ya que me gustó tanto, o más que la primera. La historia es bastante graciosa y entretenida, y la primera vez que la vi en el cine no me aburrió en ningún momento. Me gustó mucho el trabajo del los actores de doblaje en general ya que pienso que lograron dar un buen toque y hacer evolucionar a sus personajes, y me gustó mucho que actores como Miranda Cosgrove, Steve Carrell, Kristen Wiig, Benjamin Bratt y Russell Brand formaran parte del elenco ya que los admiro mucho desde hace tiempo.

    Although I have always said that I'm not a fan of 3D animation, I really like the animation of this film as well as the design of the characters, they also use a fairly wide color palette that works very well in a film aimed primarily at the children public. As I mentioned before, the story is very funny and there are scenes that made me laugh a lot, such as Dr Nefario's farewell when he separates from Gru, also in which the minions go to put out a fire at home, or guide Gru while row a boat. I would say that my favorite characters are the minions because they are the funniest and I would say that they could even be the life of the party because they are the ones that make me laugh the most, and not just in this movie, but in the entire saga.

    Aunque siempre he dicho que no soy fan de la animación 3D, me gusta mucho la animación de esta película así como también el diseño de los personajes, también usan una paleta de colores bastante amplia que funciona muy bien en una película dirigida mas que todo al público infantil. Como mencioné antes la historia es muy graciosa y hay escenas que me hicieron reír mucho, como las de la despedida del Dr Nefario cuando se separa de Gru, también en la que los minions van a apagar un incendio en casa, o guían a Gru mientras rema un bote. Diría que mis personaje favoritos son los minions porque son los más graciosos y diría que hasta podrían ser el alma de la fiesta porque de verdad es que son los que más me hacen reír, y no nada más en esta película, sino en toda la saga.

    I also really liked the songs from the movie because not only Pharrell Williams and his song "Happy" are part of it, I also really like that the minions have covered songs that I really like like "Y.M.C.A." by Village People and the ballad "I Swear" although of course, they sing it in their minion language hahaha. To conclude, I would say that it's a great film that is worth seeing and enjoying, whether in the company of the family or just being at home, it's a very good film that deserves to be remembered, I would like to recommend it to all those who have not yet seen it. Had the opportunity to see it, I assure you that you will like it.

    Las canciones de la película también me gustaron mucho ya que no solamente Pharrell Williams y su canción "Happy" forman parte de el, también me gusta mucho que los minions hayan versionado canciones que me gustan mucho como "Y.M.C.A." de Village People y "I Swear" aunque claro, la cantan en su idioma minion jajaja. Para finalizar, diría que es una gran película que vale la pena ver y disfrutar, ya sea en compañía de la familia o sólo estando en casa, es una pelicula muy buena que merece ser recordada, me gustaría recomendarla a todos los que todavía no han tenido la oportunidad de verla, les aseguro que les va a gustar.
