MY REVIEW
Animated movies are always fun to watch. The belief that animated movies are only meant for children is completely wrong, Animated movies not only appeal to children but there is always something for the adults. The best thing about them is the comedy and the heart touching morale.

Gru is a super villain who has been on a decline both mentally and professionally after failing to steal something big. The stealing of the Pyramids of Giza by an unknown super-villain hurts his sentiments. Now to get back in game, he plans to steal the moon. For his plan to succeed he need the help of the three orphan girls who he decides to adopt. Assisting him is the loyal Dr.Nefario and the minions. This movie deals with how the 3 girls mange to bring the goodness out of him and reform him.


Gru and the Minions


Unlike most  movies, in this movie an evil character plays the lead. The movie is from his perspective so from the very beginning you want him to outclass the new super-villain vector. The story has been written well. The not so social Gru developing love for the children has been really well shown. The inclusion of the green coloured minions who I must say have some extremely funny scenes is a high point of the film. Also are the scenes involving the stealings.

The voice overs by the actors is really convincing. It is always tough to express emotions when you just have the support of your voice but the cast is brilliant in the film. Steve Carrell has done the voice over for Gru thus even before seeing the movie you expect him to be good. Jason Segel as Vector the main antagonist in the film is also funny at times. Russel Brand seems unrecognizable as Dr Nefario.


 Vector: the super-villain


A good watch for the entire family. Nice way to kill your time.

MY RATING 8/10
