Despicable Me 4: My thoughts
Just watched the Despicable Me 4 and I want to share my thoughts about it. My expectations and opinions on this animated movie.
It started with a reunion of class '85. You may think that it is just a party. But Gru is on a mission. He needs to catch Maxime and put behind the bars.
They finally met each other and Maxime was caught. However, this will not be the end or that will not be too easy for Gru to catch Maxime.
After the mission. Gru is living his life like an ordinary person. Buying groceries and bonding with the family.
Another surprise is Gru and Lucy now have a baby, Gru Jr.
Just like what I've expected. Maxime escape the prison and wants to take revenge to Gru.
They have changed their names and house. To protect their self especially the baby and the children.
Their undercover was a challenge for Agnes. She does not want to change her name or lie about it. I guess it's because she is still a child and her mind could not process what is happening. This is where the white lies comes in. They tried explaining it to Agnes to convince her.
This is the part where Gru tried to socialize with his neighbors. He almost got exposed when he said the real name of his daughter. By his expression and emotion he is not relaxed because some of the details he is saying are made up. This shows how hard it is to hide the truth. No matter how good you hide it. It will be revealed.
The minions are getting training and undergone upgrade.
They were transformed into Mega Minions. By the looks of the minions. They have the resemblance of the heroes from different movies.
There is also a scene where it has the Spiderman reference.
If you think he save the people from the train. Nope, you're wrong haha.
This scene, where Poppy approached Gru. She said that she knows everything about Gru. At first I thought, she was a villain undercover helping Maxime to get Gru. However, she is just asking for help to get Lenny.
Then eventually became friends with Gru's children.
She even helped Gru when Gru Jr. was kidnapped by Maxime. This reminds me of Gru when he was a Kid. He wanted to be a villain and help them in their mission. But this time, Poppy is helping Gru for a good cause.
Like the usual ending, they manage to catch Maxime and put him in jail. However, the process of getting Maxime was too short. There were not much fight scene or actions done. He was just kicked by Gru Jr. that made him fall through the high building.
The main heroes that have been focused here are the Mega Minions and also with the helped of Poppy.
I'm having a feeling that the next season of Despicable Me if there will be, the kids will be the new heroes and villains. Then Gru will be living an ordinary life and mentoring the kids.
