Animation. Comedy After he is fired from the Anti-Villain League for failing to take down the latest bad guy to threaten humanity, Gru finds himself in the midst of a major identity crisis. But when a mysterious stranger shows up to inform Gru that he has a long-lost twin brother-a brother who desperately wishes to follow in his twin's despicable footsteps-one former super-villain will rediscover just how good it feels to be bad.

	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"'Despicable Me 3' offers up more of the same (...) This rather clever, breakneck-paced cartoon gives fans exactly what they want (...) It has its recipe perfectly down pat by now"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"An amusing but over-stuffed sequel (...) Gru’s ensemble is starting to feel a bit bloated, and before moving forward, the studio might want to shed a few characters (...) [It] is unwieldy, but it mostly works"	NEU
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"It's a sugar high from beginning to end and each bite is sweet and utterly lacking in nutrition, but it's a quality product and it won't leave you with a stomach ache or a crash."	NEU
United States	Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club	"As tired as its ’80s duds (...) The character designs remain stiff and ugly (...) What’s sorely missing is any sense of loopy internal anarchy"	NEG
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"A sequel that will disappoint even diehard minions fans (...) Overstuffed with a confusing plot, dated jokes, and a lack of attention to its biggest stars."	NEG
United Kingdom	Tom Huddleston Time Out	"'Despicable Me 3' suffers both from a lack of new ideas (...) and from an assumption that the audience is already invested enough to care about what happens. The lack of consistency in the characters is striking (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Jonathan Pile Empire	"The third 'Despicable Me' film chronologically is also the third-best in terms of quality. But it has just enough energy and flashes of inspiration to suggest it’s a franchise that could run and run (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Andrew Pulver The Guardian	"[It] will certainly keep the younger elements of its audience happy (...) But for everyone else it may prove decent rather than captivating (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Consistently funny, but could use more of Gru's ambition (...) It’s as if the film keeps tripping over its own shoelaces in the hurry to get where it wants to be next (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
Australia	Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun	"A winningly amusing and action-packed pre-credits sequence is the first of several indications that 'Despicable Me 3' will go close to matching the original in its ability to engage, excite and delight (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)	POS
