'Despicable Me 3' - The third film of this successful franchise comes this summer with the family of Gru, his wife Lucy and the three lovely daughters. Not to forget the wild Minions who are the reason why people will flock to the theatres. There are however two main additions to the cast - Dru who is Gru's twin brother and the film's main highlight - the antagonist Balthazar Bratt, a person who prefers having dance offs to famous pop tracks of the 80's. His antics along with the Minions' charades bring the house down with some genuine laughs. Even Gru has some moments of hilarity with his twin but somewhere the film doesn't feel complete like it did so seven and four years ago - parts one and two respectively.

The film could have worked more on the relationship between Gru and his daughters or perhaps we saw way too less of the Minions. The animation was good, the pace was fine but its not a film that by the end of it we would be awed by it. This is a one time watch and its a bit of a disappointment going by the franchise's story curves.
P.S. - The minions in jail and Balthazar's entry are worth watching.
6/10
