60 of 158 · most liked firsti will say as someone who has seen more illumination movies than the average adult should; the problems with the mario movie are kinda sweeping problems with the whole studio LOL. Despicable Me 4 unironically has like, an F-Plot there's like 8 storylines
negative · AI labelView post →Knowing Mike White as "the White Lotus guy" and discovering he wrote Despicable Me 4 and The Emoji Movie reframes him in the same way knowing Adam McKay as "the Don't Look Up/Vice/Big Short guy" and learning he did Anchorman and Talladega Nights

And look at the blockbuster excrement that revived chain profits: Wolverine, Despicable Me 4, boring Pixar bullshit, another Alien sequel, crap crap and more crap.

neutral · AI labelView post →W take. Society was too hard on War of the Rohirrim. Seriously, why did people give Despicable Me 4 and Moana 2 passes but draw the line at a movie that actually tried to add something to the world

negative · AI labelView post →Here's a snapshot of the titles coming to Netflix in February 2025. Amy Schumer's KINDA PREGNANT and the arrival (after 4 months on Peacock) of DESPICABLE ME 4 are the big movie titles. Not yet announced, but expected in February, are Sony titles THE OUTRUN and VENOM: THE LAST DANCE.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's like Warner Bros just completely ignored family films which have historically done well in the summer. As Sony, Disney, Universal, and Paramount have proven with The Garfield Movie, Inside Out 2, Despicable Me 4, and IF this year, family films still do well. Ignoring families will doom WBD.
neutral · AI labelView post →Except for Disney & Pixar’s Inside Out 2, animated film sequels haven’t been that good this year. Kung Fu Panda 4: okay Despicable Me 4: average Moana 2: unnecessary
neutral · AI labelView post →The lesson that studios should take from this success is that families want more animated films to choose from. This and Despicable Me 4 are all but guaranteed to be the biggest films of the year. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

neutral · AI labelView post →Okay, this was such a fun movie about movies. The cast is absurdly stacked for some random reason and was a gigantic improvement over Despicable Me 4. 3.5/5
negative · AI labelView post →Warning to film going NZers: Cinema 3 in Pukekohe NZ called police in to eject two mothers and their children for bringing snacks into a screening of Despicable Me 4.

negative · AI labelView post →We had a great time on the CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED podcast this week, reviewing DESPICABLE ME 4, MAXXINE and BEVERLY HILLS COP: AXEL F., and discussing at length the scene in this new film that recontextualizes the whole series by suggesting that Axel Foley is asexual. It tracks, and it's really cool!
neutral · AI labelView post →there is nothing out i want to see. it's either give money to John Krasinski, and i would rather be hanged for piracy then give him money, or Despicable Me 4.... so.... movie marathon at home this 4th? idk
negative · AI labelView post →Do I dare watch this movie when it releases? Because even though the monster movie premise sounds interesting and this movie is supposed to focus on a NEW group of Minions, I've been suffering from franchise fatigue ever since I watched Despicable Me 4.
negative · AI labelView post →Inside Out being Disney isn't really relevant - Despicable Me 4 isn't Disney and was also a huge hit, the Mario movie wasn't Disney and was the second most popular movie of that year. The point is that you're not giving up money going animated, it sells extremely well.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching my pirated copy of Despicable Me 4 so I can delete it and put actual music on my mp3 player. This fucking movie is making me laugh so much.
positive · AI labelView post →We’re watching Back In Action. Honestly it plays like a live action Despicable Me 4, so make of that what you will. Also for a ‘family friendly movie’ there sure are a lot of people getting shot in the neck and head

neutral · AI labelView post →Will Inside Out 2 or Despicable Me 4 be the highest-grossing film of the summer? And when will the film industry realize that all-ages fare hits biggest?
neutral · AI labelView post →Hearing Minions and Monsters had a lower box office opening -failing to obtain 80 million dollars on opening weekend -is unfortunately unsurprising as I anticipated but I thought Minions and Monsters, despite it’s flaws, was a genuinely decent film. It’s better than Despicable Me 4.

neutral · AI labelView post →It truly was. I've been burnt out with the franchise since that first Minions film and was ready to throw in the towel after Despicable Me 4. But the last trailer and the positive reviews got me intrigued and I left the theater delighted.
neutral · AI labelView post →Friday movie night (Despicable Me 4)
neutral · AI labelView post →168) Despicable Me 4 This is barely even a movie, it's more like a bunch of random scenes of the cast fucking around and doing not very much for an hour and a half while making jokes that made me laugh maybe twice at a push. Not quite as irritating as Minions but definitely just as worthless.
negative · AI labelView post →The last movie that made me back away like this was Despicable Me 4 💔
negative · AI labelView post →Film 16 of 2025: Despicable Me 4. Another ok entry in the series. Will Ferrell does a French accent as the villain, Sophia Vergara does the minimum as his girlfriend. Some funny moments, but the super minions seem largely superfluous. #filmsky #moviesky 🎬
neutral · AI labelView post →it scares me how many people gas up the Despicable Me 4 ending as if it saves that movie, go back and watch that movie, you have to sit through an hour and a half to get to that point.
negative · AI labelView post →On the bright side, at least we have the conformation that one of the three kids that Shrek and Fiona have at the end of the third movie or at least all of them are gonna be teenagers. Take notes Despicable Me 4.
