"Despicable Me 3"

I've hated this franchise for the nine f*cking years, but it's a trainwreck, and I can't stop watching. And to keep us watching they gave us twice the Carell. Fortunately, they didn't give us twice the Wiig with Miss Hattie still mysteriously floating around from the first movie.
This movie is basically The Parent Trap mixed with every coming of age movie where you don't realize your full potential until someone brings it up. Jeremy from CinemaSins brought this up first, but how did Gru not know his father was a villain when he was working in the AVL? The other thing is how did Gru know he wanted to be a villain in the first movie? We only saw a flashback montage of Julie Andrews dissing Gru's dreams of going to the moon. Nothing was mentioned that he wanted to be a villain. If you're going to make a villain movie about this dingus, give us some back story.
I really don't like Kristen Wiig's comedy at all, and it really drags the movie or TV show down with her every time. Her main mission was to be called mom from Margo, which I'm sure was recycled from the first movie when Gru was trying to earn Margo's trust.
Balthazar Bratt is probably the flimsiest villain any film could concoct, and I watched The Emoji Movie. He is angry that his show was canceled because he hit puberty. His pimples could have been easily been covered up. I spent four years in theatre. Also, Balthazar would have easily been recast. My brother watches PAW Patrol, and Ryder's voice changed three times. I understand Balthazar would be pissed that his show gets canceled. A lot of stars disappear when shows leave the air or when film franchises end. Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Anna Kendrick are the only stars to come out of Twilight. The girl in the background in all the movies, she's the famous one out of the three. Everyone else just kind of vanished. But you don't see them yelling that they'll laser-cut Hollywood and float it out to sea. Eventually, they come back. However, at the same time, it is the most perfect villain stuck in nostalgia because it sheds a light on the people of today. We recall the glory days of the 80s. Michael Jackson, bubble gum, Olivia Newton-John exercise videos, the Brat Pack. Okay, that one will be lost on people who don't have parents from the 80s, especially since the term was used incorrectly.
This movie is a perfect message to us, the viewers, that we need to move on. I didn't even mention the minions, but the minions don't need mentioning. I'm over them. You should too.
