Top Ten Best Things About Despicable Me 3 (2017)
It's been about two months since Despicable Me 3 was released in theaters, so I decided to how this list of the best things in the movie.THIS MIGHT INCLUDE SPOILERS, SO READ WITH CAUTION!
Balthazar Bratt is probably the best character in the whole movie, as well as the best antagonist in an animated movie! Yes, I am serious, the best animated antagonist in an animated movie! How could you not instantly love this funny guy? Yes, his catchphrase was cringeworthy as hell, but he is such an interesting character. He has an interesting and kinda sad backstory. He has the coolest gadgets you could want in a movie like this. This shows he is the best villain to appear in any of the DM movies! Plus, let's not forget that he has the best final battle in the franchise!
This is the best final battle in the franchise! The first movie had Gru and Vector up in the sky. They didn't really fight each other, but it was a really entertaining scene. In Despicable Me 2, we have El Macho and the purple minions vs. Gru. I must say, that final battle was the best final battle in the franchise until this came.
Then we have Minions. Sorry, but that movie had the worst final battle in the franchise. Kevin turns into a giant and destroys London, and Scarlett shoots a rocket in Kevin's mouth, and he yet survives? That's stupid. But then DM3 came, and it had the best final battle in the franchise. It felt much more real than the other battles. Balthazar has his giant robot, destroying Hollywood, and I like the fact that Balthazar Bratt doesn't just die instantly. He is strong! It took maybe 15-20 minutes to defeat him! This is definitely the best final battle in the franchise!
Out of all four movies, this had the most sub-plots. First, we have the most important: Gru's relationship with Dru. This is the most serious of the sub-plots, and you can see that they clearly tried when making this! It keeps your interest! You just want to watch on!
Then we have Balthazar Bratt's sub-plot. Maybe not exactly, because it shares the sub-plot with the Dru and Gru sub-plot, but still interesting. Then we have the minions' sub-plot. Since they didn't want to work for Gru anymore, they became villains and got imprisoned. Maybe the least interesting sub-plot, but still interesting.
Then we have Agnes' sub-plot where she is hunting a unicorn because she heard that unicorns still live, and of course, she wants one. Then we have the last sub-plot (which is the only sub-plot I dislike), which is the Margo and Nico sub-plot. Yes, Margo has got a love interest again, but I'm glad she didn't want him. We can all blame Lucy for having this sub-plot, but whatever, it was still great that they had sub-plots!
Who would have thought the greatest singer of all time would have one of his songs in this masterpiece movie? Well, who knew? And I am certainly glad that this song was in the movie, since it's probably my favorite song by him too! It sadly is only at the beginning, but the beginning was just mind-blowing with this song!
Dru is the second most interesting character in the whole movie and the most developed. He starts off as a clumsy brother who wants to be just like Gru and ends up pretty unclumsy. He even stole Gru's airship and painted a D on it and removed the G!
He is just as hilarious as Balthazar Bratt. Maybe not better, but funnier! I don't see why people hate him. Why? The fact that people even say the minions are better makes no sense whatsoever. Sure, he was clumsy, but we are all clumsy sometimes! Even Gru, or me! But as far as this goes, Dru Gru is the second most interesting character in the movie!
All the dance scenes in this movie are hilarious, especially the first one in the beginning. Balthazar just yells, "DANCE fight!" and they start. Then we have the one at the end where Balthazar Bratt actually references Donkey Kong. Now I like that!
Though I found one sin there: Balthazar Bratt is right-handed and his keytar is for right-handed people, but when Gru takes it from him, since Gru is left-handed, the keytar suddenly becomes left-handed too. Apart from that, the dance scenes in this movie are hilarious!
This was probably the best line by Balthazar Bratt. It was in the final battle when Balthazar Bratt was about to laser Hollywood out of the world. He first says this line, and God, is it both good and it fits the movie very well. Favorite line from the whole movie!
There were tons of shocking and unpredictable moments, and all of them were satisfying and enjoyable. Like when Balthazar Bratt disguises as Lucy Wilde and reveals himself to the girls. I was like, "What just happened?" It was just so satisfying. Or when Dru steals Gru's ship at midnight and paints a giant D on it. I mean, that was just so unpredictable! And yet it's so hated?
There was this "Finding Nemo scene" in the movie in the beginning. Then we had Dr. Nefario, who had accidentally frozen himself in carbonite, clearly a Star Wars joke. Then we have a yin-yang reference in the middle of the movie. And yeah, there are more funny jokes in this movie!
We get to learn Gru has a twin brother. We learn that his father, Robert Gru, was actually a legendary supervillain known as the Bald Terror. We learn that Marlena wanted Dru instead of Gru, but she got second pick! We also learn that Margo is twelve years old in the movie. See?
Felonius Gru is the main character of Despicable Me, Despicable Me 2, and Despicable Me 3, alongside Mel and a minor character in Minions.
