Biggest Swing

The film dramatically improves in its final third, jumping from boring mid-section doldrums to engaging action sequences that remind viewers why they loved the franchise originally

Despicable Me 4 starts promisingly but sags significantly in its middle act with underutilized subplots and missed character development opportunities. The film recovers in its action-heavy finale, delivering the franchise's signature blend of heart and humor, though most reviewers felt it lacked the innovation and consistent entertainment value of earlier entries.
