Critics Consensus

Despicable Me 3 should keep fans of the franchise consistently entertained with another round of colorful animation and zany -- albeit somewhat scattershot -- humor.

I have no wish to see any more movies featuring the Minions but I'd make an exception for a crossover project in which they were pitted against the Brood for a fight to the death.

Despicable Me 3's tender moments are often drowned out by everything else its filmmakers want to smash into its 90 or so minutes.

Watching Agnes is like emptying five packets of Space Dust into your mouth: guaranteed to induce tingles.

Besides a couple of the franchise's mandatory irritating moments and another loose script, there are worse things to endure watching with your kids. Disposable yet not entirely harmless, it's almost fun. [Full review in Spanish]

3.5/5

There is an air of difference around Despicable Me 3 to all the films in the series but this is a film that is going to be lapped up by those that have grown up watching the franchise.

Even though the story is fairly convoluted, it's worth taking your kids to see. There are laughs abounding.

My favorite one of them all! So wholesome and loved the 80s throwback music selection! Not too scary for the kiddos. Perfect plot and lots of laughs with thr minions.

Despicable Me 3 is not what was played on Wednesday July 20, 2022 at Maya cinemas in Fresno, Ca. Instead they played Despicable Me, not sure why, but that is what happened. Despicable Me 3 is what was advertised to be showing, but that was not the case.

Personally I watched this movie as a little kid now coming back 10 years later this just might be the worst despicable me movie to begin with I think it’s worst than the 4th movie it didn’t even try at all but this movie is just a huge mess from start to finish, if you remove the filler it would be the same plot like personally there was kinda no reason to make this movie, this basically has the same thing like shred the third but not as worst as god damn illumination movies

This was another great addition to the franchise. And I love the dynamic between Gru and his brother. It made me laugh on multiple occassions and was a generally good watch. Although I kinda didnt like some of the music choice and maybe the ending. I just didnt think it was satisfying enough.
