Despicable Me 4: A Mixed Reception for the Lovable Minions

Despicable Me 4, the latest in the beloved animated franchise, has sparked discussions with its Rotten Tomatoes score. Centered around Gru, his family, a new adversary named Maximillian, and the introduction of Little Gru, the film aims to live up to its predecessors’ acclaim.

Unfortunately, the film holds a 57% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, significantly lower than Pixar’s Inside Out 2, which boasts a 90% score. Critics like Jeffrey Harries praised the animation but criticized the lack of a cohesive narrative, calling it a “numbing and joyless experience.” Chris Sawin was harsher, describing it as “garish, cacophonous noise masquerading as family-friendly comedy.”

However, some reviewers offer positive notes. A critic from Common Sense Media mentioned, “While Despicable Me 4 doesn’t quite measure up to the original, it’s still a decent choice for families looking for lighthearted comedic entertainment.”

The franchise’s challenge in maintaining high standards is clear, but the Minions’ enduring popularity may still draw families in, ensuring strong box office performance. The 2015 Minions spin-off, despite a 56% critic score, earned $1.159 billion globally, showing the brand power of the Minions.
