I’ll guarantee you that you won’t regret but instead crave for more minion actions! And if you are still not convinced, then check out my review of Despicable Me 2 below.
The Plot
The movie began with a chaotic scene of a factory being attracted and taken away by a huge giant magnet. The factory was producing a serum known as AK-41, which is highly dangerous and deadly. The serum when injected into anyone or anything, will transform them into a crazy, wild and barbaric purple creature that destroys everything that come in its way. But now the BIG question is WHO IS THE VILLAIN that stole the serum?
It was then that Gru, the former villain, was being recruited by the Anti-Villain League (AVL) Agent Lucy Wilde and brought to meet the league director, Silas Ramsbottom. Initially, Gru was against the idea of being an undercover working for AVL. But eventually, for the sake of his daughters, he agreed to work alongside Agent Lucy Wilde. It was so adorable that the daughters were so excited to see Gru becoming a HERO instead of a villain. Well, no one can deny that all three daughters, Margo, Edith and Agnes are the second cutest below the minions!
Traces of the AK-41 serum were then found to be in the Paradise Mall. Both Gru and Agent Lucy start played undercover as cupcake makers in the mall. At the same time, they made friends with other owners working in the mall, hoping to capture the villain. They met Eduardo, owner of the Salsa Restaurant. Eduardo resemble so much of a claimed-to-be-dead strong villain called El-Macho. And that made Gru’s suspicions towards Eduardo grew, making him the primary suspect.
So based on Gru’s suspicions, both him and Agent Lucy decided to break in Eduardo’s Salsa restaurant to find the traces of serum. But it was disappointing to find out Eduardo’s secret Salsa recipe in a safe instead of serum. It was then they shifted their attention to another storeowner, Floyd. Despite, their best efforts, Silas were disappointed at their progress in capturing the villain.
Despite being busy with the investigation, the three adorable daughters kept bugging Gru to go on a date. Being haunted by his first failed attempt of asking a girl out, Gru was totally against the idea of meeting a girl. However, in order to make Agnes happy, Gru finally agreed to go on a blind date. But things turned out wrong during the date and Agent Lucy coincidentally saved Gru. That night, a kiss from Agent Lucy made Gru realized his feelings for her.
Just as Gru confirmed his feelings for Agent Lucy, Silas captured Floyd as traces of serum AK-41 were found among the store, leading to the end of investigation for Gru and Agent Lucy. It became more devastating for Gru as he found out that Agent Lucy would be transferred to Australia to work on another case. Being preoccupied with the investigation, his daughters and his partner, Agent Lucy, he did not realize that his minions were slowly decreasing in number, as they were kidnap by the villain. (Poor minions as they were taken away from their owner.)
It was on a festive night held by Eduardo, where the truth was revealed. Eduardo is El-Macho! El-Macho has been working with Gru’s doctor, Dr Nefario for his comeback. Their plan was to use the serum to transform the minions into a barbaric and wild purple creature to destroy the world. But a changed Gru hesitates to join El-Macho and runs away with his three daughters from the party that night.
But things became worse as Agent Lucy decided to stay instead of going to Australia. She was then captured by El-Macho and used as a threat to Gru. Honestly, El-Macho is so mean and cruel to be doing that, reasons why he is a VILLAIN.
Being a HERO, Gru had to save Agent Lucy from danger but was then attacked by thousands of his transformed purple minions! Dr Nefario then arrived, just in time. He came up with an antidote to re-transform the purple barbaric minions into the normal, yellow adorable minions. Things became more chaotic as El-Macho transformed himself into the barbaric purple creature. Together with the help of Gru’s daughters and the minions, Gru managed to defeat the then transformed purple El-Macho and saved Agent Lucy from being flown into a volcano.
The movie ended with the minions performing their version of ‘I Swear’, changing the words to ‘Underwear~~’, specially for Gru and Agent Lucy’s wedding after 147 dates later. The movie had such a happy and humorous ending, receiving laughter from all the audience in the cinema.
I would give Despicable Me 2 a 5-star rating! Despicable Me 2 is indeed one of the best movies for the year 2013 so far. Therefore, what are you waiting for? Watch Despicable Me 2 and share with me your ratings of the despicably adorable movie!
