will come to my house and suffocate me with my own intestines. So instead of spoiling anything I'll just tell you to expect a spy vs spy type feel with a my little pony vibe thrown into it.Cinematography:Unless you are related to that spoiler hating hobo I showed you, you have probably realized that this movie is a CGI (computer generated imagery for those unable to comprehend basic human thought). As such how does one Cinematograph? (C WUT I DID THAR?) Well simple, in this section I'll bash on the animation. Well that was if I didn't like the animation. Truth be told I loved it, and I only saw it in 2-D because to me, 3-D is like a girlfriend, it steals all your money and never actually satisfies you without leaving you with some horrible lifetime disease (like marriage). Although when I saw this movie, I couldn't stop thinking about how cool it would be in 3-D. So for the first time in my life I am recommending that you see a movie in 3-D. The art style is pleasing to the eyes and everything looks crisp and clear.
Wardrobe:It's animated......idiot.
Plot: The plot didn't exactly hold many surprises but there was an odd feeling I got from it. It felt as if they made 3 different scrips and plot lines for the movie, animated the first 5 pages from all of them, before deciding on the story line they wanted. I don't think many people caught that, but it looked as if the movie was trying to choose between "Spy VS Spy" "Evil Orphanage" and "The person who doesn't wanna have kids has kids". I'm not going to say which one it eventually became but the movie did have an enjoyable ending.
Acting: I actually really liked the voice acting for this, Micheal from the office plays the main character and puts on a fantastic (for the movies purposes) accent throughout the entire film. Miranda Cosgrove (the bitchy know it all from school of rock) annoyed the hell out of me, but I couldn't decide whether or not it was her voice or the script. The rest of the VA team was excellent, especially the minions which oddly enough spoke in a language that even though it was gibberish you understood it.
Directing: I can't really comment on this except to say that this was a very well put together movie with a lot of laugh out loud moments for the old people and the young people. The world and manner in which Despicable Me was put together is easily one that deserves a sequel or a spin off, and I would love to see the same team work on it.
Sound:Pharrel scored the movie...I have no idea who he is but I'm assuming he's black and is a rapper. The music was actually very clever, although there is the despicable me "theme song" that sounds very forced when it made its appearance in the movie. The sound effects are fine but they are meh, I expected more, although props to the movie for using the wilhelm scream.
Summary: Go see Despicable Me, it succeeds in all categories except for music and sound design, infact this movie is my first favorable review (told you, you pessimistic bastards). Its a great date movie and well worth the money to see it in 3-D. I had high hopes going it to the movie and I was not disappointed. I wasn't blown away but I got what I expected. I know many of you are mad that this wasn't that funny of a review, but ehh it was good and I don't know that many funny analogies to give to something that wasn't bad but wasn't revolutionary.
I give it FOUR burning orphans out FIVE (4/5)
