After watching this movie and Toy Story 3 as well, i didn't think I liked this movie better than Toy Story 3 which is a great animated movie as well. The 3D gimmick that they make you want to watch is not all that great. When I watched the TS 3, the 3D wasn't any different than watching the regular version. So I watched Despicable Me in regular version and it was hilarious! The minions were cute and extremely funny which made this movie the better of the 2. I do recommend this movie to all children at least 8 yrs old because any younger wouldn't probably enjoy some of the humor. It is definitely a family oriented movie and if you're a person who lived through the 70's & 80's, the final sequence is one of the best endings for a movie that I ever saw. I almost didn't watch this movie because I saw that Elgin brand was doing a voice-over of one of the main characters, (Gru's evil scientist) and I can't STAND his act at all! But thankfully I looked passed his crass personality, and watched this movie anyway and didn't regret it one bit! It is truly the best movie to watch again and still you'll laugh at the jokes!
