A Very Despicable Review

 


Finally saw Despicable Me 4, as an early birthday present for my aunt (the franchise's biggest fan). This time, Gru and his family (now including newborn baby Gru Jr.) are on the run and in hiding after Gru has his old nemesis Maxime Le Mal arrested. Unfortunately for him, Maxime escaped. Gru is also having issues with his new baby and neighbor while the AVL had the bright idea of turning the minions into superheroes. 🤦🏾‍♀️

The movie was pretty much what you'd expect from Despicable Me. It was indeed funny and enjoyable for family entertainment, however it was also the weakest of the four main movies. And as I mentioned in the July Releases post, they're squeezing the life out of this franchise and I'm not sure how much more they can do with these characters. The writing wasn't the strongest, there was actually a plotline involving Agnes that never got resolved. The minions like always were the funniest part of the movie. Who needs the Avengers when you've got the Megaminions (she said sarcastically😒)? Seriously, What The Hell was the AVL thinking? I also liked the storyline between Gru and Gru Jr., he was a BAD BABY. It's not a super strong arch but it was still sweet. Poppy was fine, that's it. As for her parents; dad doesn't wanna be bothered while mom disturbingly reminds me of a certain group of people I would rather not disclose on this blog. 

Maxime was fine, but at this point they've got way too many villains in the franchise and Maxime is easily the least memorable of the villains (his odd obsession with cockroaches is also concerning🤢). However, all the villains throughout the franchise did make a cameo and I LOVED IT!  If they do a fifth movie, not only do I suggest they make it the last, but also either have one of the past villains (most likely Vector) come back for revenge against Gru, or have all the villains he's faced band together and go after him.

That's pretty much it to be honest. Thanks for reading.

American Idol 2025 Thoughts: Day 1

  American Idol  has officially reached its live shows so that means it's time to start the commentaries. For those of you who didn't track these last year, here's an explanation; I will be saying my thoughts on the contestants and their performances. In typical 'me' fashion, I will rank each performance to #1. But unlike my normal lists, this will be from worst to best.  This will be starting the following week as today is just an introduction. Our Top 24 has been chosen and they are as follows;     Canaan James Hill (Platinum)             Gabby Simone  Zaylie Windsor                         Mattie Pruitt  Thunderstorm Artis                  Drew Ryn  Che                                     ...

Introduction

Bio My name is Naomi Marie Elidios Chadwick. I was born in San Diego, California, but I currently live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I pretty much have a traditional family, which involves happily married parents, 1 younger sister, and an older brother. I was raised Christian, and I continue to practice Christianity to this day. This is not a spiritual blog but some of the content that I post is influenced by my faith. Every now and then I will post Christian content as well, just not always (except with Billboard ). The picture you see up above is me at the airport with my father after I graduated from AmeriCorps NCCC after 10 months of community service. In response I received a congressional award for community service. I've always been really proud of that. I was diagnosed with Asperger's (a form of Autism) around the age of 6, but I was not informed of my diagnosis until I was 12. I'm very into movies and television (animation especially), and pop culture as a whole, and I...

First Day Of 2024/2025 Awards Race

  It is about that time of year again where Hollywood gives out its most prestigious awards to most of the time the least deserving. But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna pay attention like always. But this year we will be shaking things up a little. Allow me to explain; Here's How This Works: Each year, I will have a target subject I'm rooting for this season. When the nominations for each award show are announced, I will do a small commentary on whether or not the subject has a chance of winning. However, this year instead of focusing on just the target, I will also be focusing on those I think are frontrunners in different categories for the season as a whole, whether I'm rooting for them or not.  I will most likely say a last minute thought the day before the award show. I will be tracking down all the way up to the big dogs: THE OSCARS. The Awards: We will be focusing on 5 awards; -The Golden Globes -The BAFTA's -The Critics Choice -The SAG Awards and Of Cour...
