"Despicable Me 4": Forgive me for repeatedly dozing off, and the Minions still have a sense of embarrassment
"Despicable Me 4" is already the seventh film in the series and the side story, and Universal Pictures' suppression of the surplus value of "Despicable Me" and "Big Face Moe" is also to the extreme. You must know that in just 14 years, an average of one series of animated films every two years can be said to have set a record for exploiting audiences. From the initial amazing magical idea, to today's step-by-step degradation of the reluctance to forge ahead, "Despicable Me 4" produced by Lighting Entertainment gives the audience the impression that it is a cold meal and a sandwich, and the whole movie cannot find the main line, the narrative rhythm is disordered, the plot is sparse, and the character portrayal is sloppy. There is a little bit of joke in this film, but it is boring and stuttering, which makes the audience doze off again and again, and the Minions are still so embarrassed.
Gru, an agent in the system, captured the swaggering Max at the alumni commendation party, and after the cockroach exoskeleton variant, he is hideous enough but not cute, perhaps the main creator realized that the image of this character could not attract children, so he gave up more of his appearance time in the back. After Max escaped from prison, he issued a declaration of revenge, which led to the Gru family being forced to change their names and go into hiding. The pompous and pretentious new villain Max, whose ability (that is, harmfulness) is really not worth mentioning, you must know that Gruna is a person who can steal the moon, can he be afraid of this villain who is not as good as "Crazy Boy"? There are very few highlights of Max in this film, that is, he is like-minded with his sexy girlfriend Warren God, they are just doing flying machines floating in the sky and can't find any trace of the Gru family, and I thought that those cockroaches could dig up information from the garbage heap.
Gru's latent plan is even more pediatric, and the three daughters have also become incompetent, and the baby boy's funny ability, the audience sees more age-appropriate performances in "Home Alone" and "Best Partner", the film's mini Gru is too young, just out of infancy or oral Haitong, and completely loses the possibility of making a big fuss. The pseudonym and fake occupation arranged by the screenwriter for the Gru family's protection plan not only do not have the exuberant and refreshing feeling of "Evaporation Order" starring Schwarzenegger, but also cannot be close to the sad and fatalistic existential end state of the American drama "Breaking Bad", which is basically just a boring change of identity vacation. Gru's cover identity is basically useless, with arrogant community neighbors and inexplicable tennis matches, which share script bugs with "Legend" starring Jackie Chan and directed by Tang Jili. Mom's hairdressing career is nothing short of a disaster, that is, creating a series of absurdities that narrate incompetence.
The Gru family, the audience has seen enough, they still like the Minions, and about one-third of the plot of this film belongs to the cute pets. Even so, the story line of the Minions in "Despicable Me 4" as a whole is seriously conducive to the main story. This film plays a superhero terrier, and the five Minions standing in the first row did not take a step back at the first time, and could only accept being alienated by superpowers, which is suspected to be a mockery of Marvel's Avengers. The mutated Minions are more capable, more responsible, and more troublesome, but they are not deep enough and shallow, that is, they cannot fully and truly integrate with the main plot. In Hollywood's series of animated movies in recent years, that is, "Toy Story" can still maintain reliable drama power from the fourth part, "Kung Fu Panda 4" and "Elf Hotel 4" are also difficult brothers, you must know that "Bear Infested: Reversal of Time and Space" is the tenth and can still be renovated.
"Despicable Me 4" can only introduce another runaway "bad girl" to complete the story, Gru and her extended plot, almost like a mechanical séance, they flew to the castle, they saw it, they ran away in a flying car, and then finally the villain knew the traces, the two sides can finally fight without pain, the screenwriter and the audience are relieved, the movie can finally end. The funniest character in this film, the Minion who is stuck in the vending machine, in the menu, he contributes the most distinctive scene in the whole film.
