To be honest, there are only two movies that have kept me on the edge of my seat this year, to the extent that I wouldn’t mind re-watching them.
They are Olympus Has Fallen and Despicable Me 2. Whereas the former has breathtaking action and heroism, the latter just blows you away with its humour.
It was better than the first one. In fact I was a bit worried that all the good parts in the movie had been saved for the previews and adverts. It turns out all the best parts are not in any of the previews. Well, this time Gru, the ex-super villain, is adjusting to family life and an attempted honest living in the jam business. A secret Arctic laboratory is stolen.
The Anti-Villain League (AVL) decides it needs an insider’s help and recruits Gru in the investigation. Gru teams up with the strange AVL agent, Lucy Wilde. Gru concludes that his prime suspect is the presumed dead super villain, El Macho, whose teenage son is also making the moves on his eldest daughter, Margo.
Seemingly blinded by his overprotectiveness of his children and his growing mutual attraction to Lucy, Gru seems to be on the wrong track even as his minions are being quietly kidnapped.
The movie will blow your mind because the minions are so funny, you will feel like paying double. Oh, and the movie has a great lesson: you don’t need to call on a hero all the time things go wrong; sometimes it’s the villain who will save the day.
