DVD review: Despicable me

Gru is a supervillain (Mad scientist type) who wants to steal the moon. In a complicated plot to do this he adopt three young girls but being a parent changes him in ways that he couldn’t imagine.

This movie is surprisingly good. I didn’t expect something from a new formed animation studio to be this good.

The animation is not incredibly detailed but the models and the sceneries show a flavor and a style often absent in bigger production.

The story is original and interesting, honestly much better than the similarly themed “Megamind” (Espionage in Hollywood must be really big lately). Where “Megamind” blatantly rip off Superman “Despicable me” goes in uncharted waters and is much more of a odd couple movie (with Gru and the girls as the couple).

Full of funny moments and pathos this a well rounded experience that is enjoyable also for adults (who will get the most out of “Bank of Evil formerly Lehman brothers”)
