Despicable Me 3
Gru and his wife Lucy must stop former '80s child star Balthazar Bratt from achieving world domination.
Critics Sentiment
Gru engages Bratt in climactic dance battle before defeating him with keytar
Gru and Dru fight over Gru's deception about returning to villainy
The film recovers strongly from its lowest point during the brothers' argument to peak at the dance fight finale, gaining 1.8 points as the spectacle and 80s references won over critics.
Despicable Me 3 received mixed-to-positive reception, with critics praising Trey Parker's villain performance and the spectacular Hollywood finale while criticizing the underutilized Minions and rushed character development. The film starts strong with Bratt's introduction but sags in the middle during family drama before recovering with its entertaining dance battle climax. Most reviewers felt it was decent family entertainment but weaker than the first two films in the franchise.
