REVIEW
The sequel to the 2010 animated film Despicable Me is just great! Film remains original and funny, characters are lovable and there are so many details and small things that make this film so good. Movie is fast paced, it keeps the audience attention, it's silly yet smart, colourful and heartfelt. And of course, the main stars, little minions! They are just awesome! Storyline is a bit laid back but to be honest, I liked it. Even though there is no twist or big dramatic turn at the end, everything else is so brilliant that I didn't feel the need to see another over the top ending. Entertaining, memorable and enjoyable! I think I love it even more than first part. Definitely worth watching! 5-/5
