    I had completely forgotten that a fourth installment of Despicable Me had since been released until I came across it on my to-watch list today. Well, this one marks the return of Gru and his minions in a vibrant yet as most of us know chaotic installment that continues the franchise’s tradition of slapstick humor and family focused storytelling. It actually delivers on the expected laughs and visual gags but to be honest I got bored towards the ending as this sequel grapples with an overstuffed narrative.

    Synopsis

    In this sequel, Gru faces off against his old high school nemesis, Maxime Le Mal, aka, cockroach man.

    After Maxime’s escape from prison, Gru and his family; including wife Lucy, their three daughters, and the mischievous new addition, Gru Jr, are placed under protection in the upscale suburb of Mayflower.

    In their attempt to blend in the new environment, they must navigate new challenges, including neighborhood interactions and of course the ever-present threat of Maxime’s return. Meanwhile, the Minions on the other hand, embark on their own adventure, undergoing a transformation into Mega Minions with superhero-like abilities which of course they use to cause chaos.

    Review and Rating

    IMG_6088.jpeg

    What has kept me watching each sequel of this franchise is the colorful and energetic experience I get from it, especially with the Minions’ antics providing comic relief except that in this one they mostly triggered me and it felt like the movie is just one hell of a rage bait.

    A little criticism won’t hurt right?

    The film’s narrative suffers from an overabundance of subplots that are not fully developed. Inasmuch as it was thrilling to see a new addition in the Gru household, the introduction of the new addition, Gru Jr., lacks the emotional depth seen in previous character relationships. Similarly, the subplot involving the Mega Minions feels like a missed opportunity, offering spectacle without substantial payoff.

    I honestly enjoyed watching Gru being a villain in previous installments than in this one where he seems to have turned a new leaf and is all about catching the bad guys and having them thrown in jail. Villainy suits him better than the good-guy character they turned him into.

    Well, as a fan of the franchise, Despicable Me 4 does deliver the expected humor and visual flair. Inasmuch as it doesn’t really reach the narrative heights of its predecessors, it remains an entertaining watch for families and children. The film’s shortcomings in storytelling are balanced by its comedic moments and the enduring appeal of its characters.

    That said, if there’s ever a fifth installment of the movie franchise, I’ll still watch it. At least for its chaotic moments, humor and stunning visuals.

    Rating: 3/5

    Despicable Me 4 – An animated adventure full of soul and humor

    The Despicable Me franchise is one of the few that manages to combine humor, vibrant animation and an emotional story in a way that captivates audiences of all ages. With Despicable Me 4, the Illumination team not only maintains the high standards, but also brings a breath of fresh air and a story with deeper emotional stakes.

    **First of all, i would say that this creation maintains its brand in terms of humor, but it also manages to integrate more subtle jokes, aimed at an adult audience. The Minions are still the main source of laughter, but Gru’s clever lines and unexpected moments of irony add comic depth.** ``` ``` **The film opens with an unexpected moment: Gru, the famous former villain, receives an offer to return to the “career” that made him famous – that of a villain. But what initially seems like a nostalgic and inconsequential mission quickly becomes a moral dilemma and a personal test. As Gru tries to decide whether to leave his family life behind for one last adventure, his past comes back to haunt him.**

    Of course, the Minions are the comedic heart of the film. In Despicable Me 4, they have their own memorable moments, from a hilarious scene where they try to solve a complicated math problem using bananas to a series of gaffes that almost ruin the entire mission. https://youtube.com/shorts/090YVo8uxQ0?si=aTF5Jna0KTsfAffP This time, however, the Minions are not just there for show. They play a more central role in the story, becoming an unexpected support for Gru when he is at his most difficult. The relationship between Gru and the Minions is better defined, and their dynamic is filled with genuine affection, even in the midst of chaos.

    
    

    Illumination once again raises the bar when it comes to animation quality. Every frame is an explosion of color and creativity, with incredible details that enrich the world of the film. The animated cities are full of life, and the action scenes are superb - yep, i loved it.

    **A sequel worthy of all admiration, overall it is not just another film in a successful franchise, it is a story that reminds us why we love this series. With a perfect combination of humor, action and emotion, the film manages to be both captivating entertainment and a story with a profound message.**

    Regardless of age, this film will bring a smile to your face and leave you with a pleasant feeling in your soul - exactly what the franchise has done since the beginning.

  3. [Animation review] [Eng | Esp] Despicable Me 4@jrjaime640d
    Welcome my dear Minions of the internet and thank you very much for stopping by my post, my tastes are like night and day, sometimes I want to see something very complex and dense or I want to see something completely stupid and absurd, these last two words being the ones that best define the film that brings us together today titled "Despicable Me 4" that brings back the funniest animated bald guy along with his yellow abominations. Without further ado, get ready to have a new identity because we are about to begin.
    Bienvenidos mis queridos viajeros Minions del internet y muchas gracias por haber hecho una parada temporal en mi post, mis gustos son como el día y la noche, a veces puedo querer ver algo muy complejo y denso como puedo desear ver algo completamente estúpido y absurdo, siendo estas dos últimas palabras las que mejor definen el filme que hoy nos reúne titulado "Despicable Me 4" que trae de vuelta al calvo animado más divertido en conjunto con sus abominaciones amarillas. Sin más que agregar prepárense para tener una nueva identidad pues estamos por comenzar.

    Despicable Me 4 was released this year, directed by Chris Renaud and produced by Illumination, it has a duration of 1 hour and 36 minutes. It is an animated comedy and adventure, the story focuses on the entire Gru family who are forced to move and assume new identities because a villain arrested by Gru swore revenge on him and his loved ones, the issue is that they must adapt to their new environment trying to keep a low profile, something that will not be easy at all.

    The animation is quite nice and pleasant, it remains attractive, striking and fluid throughout the entire film, there are no complaints about this section.
    La animación es bastante bonita y agradable, se mantiene vistosa, llamativa y fluida a lo largo de todo el filme, no hay ninguna clase de queja con este apartado.

    Nothing spectacular happens with the soundtrack, it is present and accompanies adequately but it is never something that stands out in any way.
    Con la banda sonora no sucede nada espectacular, está presente y acompaña de forma adecuada pero nunca es algo que destaca de ninguna forma.

    The world building is not important or remarkable in any way, the film presents new scenarios and elements but does not give them any kind of importance, however, this is not a problem because we are talking about an absurd film that only seeks to be a joke so it does not end up being something harmful.
    La construcción de mundo no es importante ni destacable de ninguna forma, el filme plantea nuevos escenarios y elementos pero no les da ninguna clase de importancia a los mismos, no obstante, esto no resulta en un problema debido a que hablamos de una cinta absurda que solo busca ser un chiste por lo que no resulta ser algo perjudicial.

    The plot is simple but fun, as I mentioned previously, this saga has only focused on one thing, which is to show all kinds of silly things that are funny and it does it well enough for kids and adults to be entertained by it. Narratively there is not much to highlight, it is a basic story whose only objective is to make the viewer laugh with various stupid and funny situations in equal parts. The length is adequate because it allows the film to develop its premise well and give it a proper closure, its constant use of silly things makes the time go by extremely quickly and it does not feel tedious at any time.
    La trama es simple pero divertida, como lo mencioné previamente, esta saga solo se ha enfocado en una sola cosa la cual es mostrar toda clase de tonterías que hagan gracia, siendo que lo hace lo suficientemente bien como para que chicos y grandes se entretengan con ella. Narrativamente no hay mucho que destacar, es una historia básica cuyo único objetivo radica en hacer reír al espectador con diversas situaciones estúpidas y graciosas a partes iguales. La duración es adecuada debido a que le permite al filme desarrollar de buena forma su premisa y darle un cierre adecuado, su uso constante de boberías hace que el tiempo se pase sumamente rápido y no se sienta tediosa en ningún momento.

    The characters are not important at any time, they are just a joke and protagonists of different funny situations, apart from that they have nothing else to offer, it is a complete success due to the characteristics that the film has of being something completely given over to absurd comedy. It is nice that at a given moment characters from previous installments made a brief appearance.
    Los personajes no son importantes en ningún momento, solo son un chiste y protagonistas de diferentes situaciones jocosas, fuera de ello no tienen más nada para ofrecer, es un completo acierto debido a las características que posee el filme de ser algo completamente entregado a la comedia absurda. Resulta agradable que en un momento dado personajes de entregas previas hiciesen una breve aparición.

    Despicable Me 4 is exactly what it promises, something stupid and absurd that will be funny with its various funny situations, it does not offer any kind of complexity or anything like it since it does not need it to be entertaining, all its sections are aligned with the main intention of the film, which is the fact of being funny. It is for all the above that it deserves 3.5 stars out of 7, a fun film that knows how to stay fresh and that serves to disconnect the brain for a while and just enjoy various silly things.
    Despicable Me 4 es exactamente lo que promete, algo estúpido y absurdo que hará gracia con sus diversas situaciones graciosas, no ofrece ninguna clase de complejidad ni nada que se le asemeje puesto que no le hace falta para ser entretenida, todos sus apartados están alineados con la intención principal del filme que es el hecho de ser divertida. Es por todo lo anterior que merece 3.5 estrellas de 7, una cinta divertida que sabe mantenerse fresca y que sirve para desconectar un rato el cerebro y solo disfrutar de boberías varias.

    There are a lot of characters in this new movie, we have Gru and Lucy and the girls again and now we even have a little brother for them, Silas Macullo is back, but.

    Do you remember Gru's pet? Because the screenwriter doesn't know, do you remember his mother, because the writers don't remember Drew either? Once again, the writers didn't. What about Dr. Nefario? Once again we leave him behind.

    Instead, we still have Margot, Edith and Agnes, who are interesting but barely changed.

    The Minions jokes stopped making me laugh after the 2015 spin-off (which I thought was quite funny), the problem is that their jokes didn't add so much to the plot as distract you.

    Kids will probably enjoy the jokes, but personally I sometimes lose the plot and should be able to tell that this is a Christopher Nolan movie and not a Gru and the Minions movie.

    It's about a luxury family in which only the daughter is a relevant character and the parents are pure filler who look like characters from the infamous Telecinco reality show.

    I often think, when I watch children's films, is there anything worse than the main character being an orphan? The answer is yes; a protagonist's parents are completely irrelevant, even a burden.

    What about the villains?

    I still remember Skinner and Victor from the first one, I loved Macho Man from the second one, and the third one doesn't seem like a great film overall, but it has a very interesting villain. In my opinion this was a badly told joke, on top of that he has his girlfriend who is some kind of Monica Naranjo who adds nothing, and his teacher, I didn't know if they had any input. Plan together or individually.

    In fact, I'm not even sure if the villain is him or the professor, assuming it's him, his motivations seem worse to me than Killian's in Iron Man 3.

    The soundtrack is excellent, the animation is as good as ever, the Spanish dubbing is fun and listening to Florentino Fernández and Patricia Conde always makes the show great to watch.

    But most importantly, I give it a 5 because it's likeable, which certainly didn't make me want to watch Despicable Me, and his motivations seemed better than Killian's in Iron Man 3, worse.
