Despicable Me 3

I have no wish to see any more movies featuring the Minions but I'd make an exception for a crossover project in which they were pitted against the Brood for a fight to the death.

Despicable Me 3's tender moments are often drowned out by everything else its filmmakers want to smash into its 90 or so minutes.

Watching Agnes is like emptying five packets of Space Dust into your mouth: guaranteed to induce tingles.

It's all a bit sickly, but there are some fun set pieces involving little Agnes's earnest search for a unicorn, "heist music" (Michael Jackson's Bad) and some super-sticky, self-inflating bubblegum.

Despicable Me 3 is easily the least interesting film in the trilogy, the fact all involved are having such difficulty coming up with many original ideas speaking volumes.

Steve Carell doubles your fun in Despicable Me 3 - voicing feuding twin bros. Carell is the life of the party and the main reason this animated blast of slapstick silliness packs appeal beyond the PG crowd.

There is an air of difference around Despicable Me 3 to all the films in the series but this is a film that is going to be lapped up by those that have grown up watching the franchise.

Even though the story is fairly convoluted, it's worth taking your kids to see. There are laughs abounding.

A constantly ka-chinging cash register disguised as a major motion picture, the utterly banal and utterly boring Despicable Me 3 is largely the animated equivalent of the current Transformers: The Last Knight.

This cute bubblegum animation almost grows stale, but continues to deliver...
