Despicable Me Movie Review

The most dark, evil, and twisted individual does not always stay the “bad guy” and can sometimes have a heart of gold deep down inside. It has been proven by character, Felonius Gru in the movie Despicable Me. It is an American 3-D animated children’s movie released in July 2010 (Whitlock, 2013). In the film, Gru is portrayed as a selfish villain focused on taking fun and happiness out of everyone’s lives. Against his mother’s wishes, his childhood dream has been to steal the moon. With the help of Gru’s yellow minion workers, high-tech gadgets and vehicles nothing will stand in his way of accomplishing the most heinous crime ever, including another villain. During a moment of defeat, Gru adopts three orphaned girls to bring down the defense of his opponent. While using them for self-gain, the girls tug at Gru’s

Ah, The Sandlot. A movie full of fifth and sixth grade boys playing baseball in the Summer. If you think it sounds boring, you're wrong. This is an excellent movie. It starts with a boy, named Scotty (Tom Guiry) who needs friends. He needed friends so bad that his mom was even concerned about him being cooped up in the house for a quarter of the summer. One day, he wanders to a baseball field and his want to have friends and be a part of something comes true. He even got a nickname, "Smalls". The boys did everything together, even got into and out of trouble together. But the number one important thing all nine of the boys did, was meet at the baseball field every single day.

My final rating of the movie is three out of five stars because the sound effects were pretty good. The camera movements were good. The fight scenes were realistic and the characters didn’t fit their description but played their part

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, however, I did have some small issues with the film. The movie was entertaining with a fun plot line and quality

This 2006 Romantic Comedy is worth recommending. The story of this movie is unique, which compelled those watching. The story is easy to follow and keeps the viewer interested in finishing the whole film. If you are a person that likes to be entertained it is a movie for

At first glance the movie made me think that I am watching a predictable criminal story. The opening shoot of the close up of that unique instrument was brilliant. Scenes were played in few sets that seemed to repeat every now and then. Music choice was closer to a happy comedy than building a tension. Such as shiny cobblestone street at night, that picture was used quiet few times during the movie. One of the best moments was when we could see the shadow on the wall that was slowly making its way towards the audience. Another moment that made me smile was a shoot of the cat that magically change its whole appearance within seconds transforming itself into a totally new cat. I wondered what happened with can number one? Most likely fury little creature quit his/hers acting career and left into deep Vienna.

Pixar has been very successful in terms of producing and filiming movies that targets the younger generations. It means that they're aiming for children who loves to have some fun in watching movies as much as they want. This is why Pixar continues to innovate no matter what story are they making. However, this is something that the kids must look forward to, and it's never been "darker" than before. As a result, they've decided to release a short tale that would make things interesting for the children. This is something different that you've ever imagined for good. This is not just like any other Pixar films that you've seen out there. This is not just like Toy Story, Finding Nemo (and Dory), Monsters, Inc., The Incredibles, A Bug's Life, Brave or so. Without further ado, this short Pixar tale is what we call 'Borrowed Time'.

I remember seeing some advertisements for the movie making it out to be a family movie and the case compares it to “The Lord of the Rings.” It is not a family movie. As stated earlier there is a lot of violence in this movie. Other than children, who should not see this film, people should be warned that is not happy and the violence is very realistic I had a hard time watching the scene where the captain uses a wine bottle to smash in a farmer’s face. It does have wonderful scenes and graphics. I enjoyed the complex characters and motives people had. It was also set in a place

Although some special effects are limited, overall they did not distract too greatly from the message of the movie. I would encourage my family and friends to watch this film, simply because it is filled with themes of truth that often are ignored in modern society. It does not leave one dreading death and the ensueing aftermath, but rather gives a perspective resounding with the Catholic's faith central message of hope without being “preachy”. Self-sacrifice and forgiveness are displayed as necessary and fruitful virtues for the human condition. Ultimately, the movie left me excited for heaven, but not a shallow heaven full of earthly comforts, but one where I will know and be known purely and wholly by God and

This is a good family movie that can show the viewer’s how some people prey on one another. This movie reminded me of the times my brother and I didn’t get along. It shows how different families are and how they treat one another. Sadly this movie also shows how family members can be so cold blooded. This movie duplicates real life situations where innocent People get hurt, family loyalty gets divided and couples end up in divorce.

As a kid friendly show, I could indulge in the silliness of the story line and some of the jokes, but it had a strong enough message that I felt I left the theater with something to think about and debate. It was relatable and really made me think about when I was Bruce and Violet and didn’t feel like I fit in. I really wish that this was something that my parents could have taken me to when I was younger. This is a show that I would recommend to anyone who wants to laugh but also be able to reflect on the world around

This isn't just another family road trip comedy as I thought it would be. This was a dark and quirky comedy at its best. The script and acting was brilliant, the characters were unusual and the ending was eventful and unpredictable. The grandpa said a lot of things that were probably inappropriate for younger watchers, and he used drugs, but they he ended up dying, which is a positive anti-drug message. Overall a beautiful movie, but parents need to be careful about showing even the edited version for

The movie Despicable Me directed by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud was released in 2010. The movie is about an evil villain named Gru, who is the protagonist. Gru comes up with a wicked plan to steal the moon. To succeed in his plan, he needs the help of three little girls who he adopts. These three little girls turn his world upside down, showing him he can be a loving father. These girls change his heart. Coffin and Renaud have used film and narrative techniques to illustrate the theme that good can overpower evil. They also explore the themes, anyone’s heart can be changed by love and how important it is to have a loving family. The directors present these themes through the characters and events of the film.

Comment: I found this film very tough going- it is undoubtedly a well made film and has some clever and quirky moments. However I lost interest around halfway through the film and could not engage with the film and its clunky style. A lighter touch would have made a huge difference to the viewing experience. Perhaps as an artistic statement it deserves more than three stars but as a movie going experience it was only a little bit better than average.

The director did a fantastic job writing this film. All of the points he wanted to get to the audience, I feel did. The actor, Sean Paul, did a wonderful job impersonating someone with a developmental disability. The director’s goal was to have people that were his targeted audience, try and think about what they take for granted and show that people need love and support just as much as anyone else that is important to them. People never know what other stories other people have and are going through. It is always nice to be kind and to be a supportive human being.
