This is one of those rarities, an animated sequel that improves on the original.

The assumption seems to be that the public can't get enough Minions. Despicable Me 2 sets out to test that assumption to its absolute limit.

C-

[Despicable Me 2] is an example of totally disposable cinema, another spiky spur of sequelitis.

Loved it. Keeps the action steady w/ this wonderful crew of characters, while always bringing the funny. The story lines for these movies, w/ all the many wild machinations, keep things interesting and the audience locked in. Lots of fun- 3.4 stars
