Minions minions minions minions!

Despicable Me 2:

Story:

Gru, now an owner of a bakery shop, is summoned to save the world from a new, mysterious villain.

Review:

X amount of years ago, Despicable Me came out and was awesome. Steve Carrell proved to be an amazing voice for a villain who's change of heart touched everybody who saw the film. The minions were hilarious, and three children adorable. Despicable Me had the most heartwarming ending ever.

Cue to 2013, and Despicable Me 2 is out in theaters, with trailers promising the same level of greatness that its predecessor delivered.

Question is, does it really deliver?

This is where I have to get a tiny bit technical, even though it is a family film. So I'll start with the bad:

The editing is too choppy, even by animated family film standards. You're rushed from one scene to another to another and to yet another.

Now for the good:

The overall content is as good as the first film, with as much soul and effort put into it. Steve Carrell is as awesome as Gru as he was in the previous film, and Kristen Wiig's Lucy perfectly complements Gru. The story is as funny, touching, and hilarious as before, and the soundtrack equally as filled with amusing minions as the first one. Best part is, it's just as touching a film as the first one.

Overall a great family film which delivers as much as the first film.
