Despicable Me 2 (2013) Review

This will be short, just because we all know Gru, the girls, and, of course, the minions. There is very little to say here. Kristen Wiig returns as Lucy Wilde, a different and much more likable character. She is the big addition. I think everyone else is still minor additional characters. If you enjoyed the first movie, I don't know how you don't like this movie. It is more of everything that you enjoyed from the first one. The minions are still amazing. Gru has changed, but not for the worst. He is a parent now and he takes his duty seriously. The girls are growing up, but it seems that was only truly shown in Margo, the oldest. Agnes and Edith seem to be the same after the years from the first film. 

The villain was good, but not great. His evil plan didn't seem as good as another plan might have been. He was a great character, but a mediocre villain. I know the minions are getting a lot of attention for the laughs, but it should be noted that everyone get their fair share. Gru and Lucy are the center of the movie, so they share a lot of screen time and provide plenty of comedy. Anybody who was interested in the first movie should see the sequel. It is one of the best, if not THE best, animated sequel. Monsters University dropped the ball earlier this summer, but don't be skeptical of this film.
