This is a decent follow-up to the first movie, but its story is absolutely secondary to the characters (and the minions). It's paper thin and all of the gags and the silliness of the minions suffers for it.
Gru is recruited by Lucy into some sort of anti-villain team of special agents. Gru totally loses his edge developed in the original movie, presumably because our favorite character can't be one of questionable morals. Lucy, voiced by Kristen Wiig, is a welcome addition, but she is also softened as everything turns warm and cuddly during the movie's final half.
If you like minions as much as I do, they are here by the thousands. They are once again a funny creation but they talk a little too much, which ruins a lot of their spontaneity.
This is a movie that the family will certainly enjoy. It was good but doesn't get close to the craziness of the original.
MOAR MINIONS! They should make a movie just for minions..
Buh nah nah haw mock
I think is a really interesting movie. Very funºº
Romance ruins everything, including this movie.

I'm getting too tired writing reviews for every movie I've seen, so just, uhh, don't watch this. Its very mediocre.
I like it as much as the first. It’s funny and fun. I also like it for Cinco De Mayo. The Mexican Restaurant scene makes me want tacos and a GuacHat lol.
Bigger and better, Despicable Me 2 delivers a fun and entertaining adventure that outdoes the original. When a new supervillain breaks into a secret research lab and steals a dangerous toxin, the Anti-Villain League recruits Gru to uncover the identity of the new villain and retrieve the toxin before it's used. The original cast returns and gives especially strong performances. The comedy is also quite good, and is lighthearted and fun. Still, the story is predictable and the characters aren’t much more than stereotypes. Sequels are often problematic, but Despicable Me 2 lets loose and ends up being a really enjoyable family film.
Its more better the the first, funny not all the movie some scenes was funny like 2 or 3 or 4.
The last fight with Gru and El Macho was very good.
Picking up right where the original left off, evil genius Gru has seen the error of his ways and transitioned into life as the single, adoptive dad of three young girls. The sudden reform has left everyone (an army of minions, a long-time collaborator and Gru himself) a bit stir-crazy, so he seeks new thrills as a turncoat, tracking and identifying his former rivals for a stuffy government agency.
Illumination has leveled-up their equipment since the first film, which makes for a far more polished visual product, but the story is less lively and fuzzy than its surprising predecessor. Of course the minions are everywhere, getting the star treatment before their inevitable spinoff, but the girls are relegated to watery secondary storylines and there seem to be a lot of missed opportunities. Gru's job with the g-men, for instance, seems like a ready-made setup for introducing all sorts of wacky new characters and enlarging the world, but instead it merely hones in on a single new villain and ventures no further. The introduction of a love interest is hesitant, overly convenient, and never really clicks.
There's plenty of fun stuff for younger audiences, of course, and some of the sight gags are clever, but most parents will find themselves daydreaming through the bulk of this one.
what a list of soundtrack especially La Cucaracha
1st was better but still entertainment :)
Absolutely loved it, very funny and entertaining. Can't help but laugh at the mischief the minions get themselves into. Steve Carell embodies this villainous and softie character we grew to love from the first film. A good watch :)
Despicable Me 2 has the same animation (which is on Blu-Ray beautiful), super dubbing Steve Carella and excellent hdubu from Pharrela Williams. In the second film is much more emphasis on the great minions, which I really enjoyed, and just because of them, is the second sequel much funnier than the first part. However, the second part has a worse storyline that is more childish, awkward and full of clichés. The second part is funnier but it has a worse storyline. 70%
I thought that Despicable Me 2 would at least as good as the first but I found it much weaker. It had nothing new to show us but I can't say that I didn't liked it because it totally entertained me.
Minions are always cute and funny!
I really love this movie
Another great sequel
The first movie was somewhat ho-hum and lacked appeal to me as an adult. But this was a significant step up. Sensational fun, 9/10
The first one is better than this! The first one is epic!
This was pretty disappointing. The picture/animation quality is average-to-good too.
Muy graciosa, AMO A LOS MINIONS!!
The minions always my kids and I laugh, good times!
Good but a bit predictable
Very good. Love the minions are more a part.
I expected more from this.
Is impossible to not like the minions ;-)
I loved how they got married
It's a good movie... Just not as good as the first one, sure the minions spice it up here and there. But I guess people wanted more of what made the original so great.
Despite its title, there's nothing despicable in this film. Even the villain is charming in his own villain-y way. This movie has our beloved evil mastermind father returning as a not-so-evil superspy father. This is a light-hearted movie that sacrifices plot and complexity for simple jokes and fun. A good movie for any family, but don't expect to be too engrossed by its short attention span.
6.9/10
p.s. Minions are cute and funny. If anything, watch for them. Or not, they're pretty much everywhere anyways.
