Despicable Me: So Hilarious

I seldom going out with my friends to watch movies. Usually I will watch with my sister. Well this unplanned event happened yesterday for three of us. With one of our friend try a market testing, to ensure there is an interest among us for a movie outing. Yes, his plan worked. First he asked for Salt, no one responded. Then he asked for Despicable Me, and I immediately responded to him. Later I asked other one and he also wanted to watch it. So there were three of us, go to Bukit Raja and hoping the late show for Despicable Me will make us easier to buy tickets.

Gru, the main character.

Going into the story, we are expecting a light movie with a lot of funny scenes. We are not disappointed. We are really satisfied with the whole movie. The story generally about Gru the main protagonist as a supervillain. The counter character is Vector (a mathematical term), who is his rival in evil world. And there are three little orphan girl which are Margo, Edith and Agnes. I like Agnes because she is very cute. So cute and I couldn’t forget her face until now. Even though she is cute, you will not expecting what her character will be at some points in the movie. Especially at the fun fair. Just wait for it until you watch it. Mark my word. Plus for cuteness, there are also minions who serve as workers for Gru. These workers also cute and uses incomprehensible language.

Generally, I think this is a very hilarious movie. Since I laugh a lot if I watched movie with my friends, I’m not sure whether it is also a contributing factor. But still I believe this is a hilarious movie. Why it is so funny? I think there are so many unexpected events in the movie. Plus, you must have a good English, don’t rely much with the subtitles in Malay. Sometimes the jokes need us to understand it in English term. In emotion subject, I won’t buy it and I’m glad it goes that way. I will deeply touched if a story disturbs my emotion. I don’t want that like in Doraemon movies. In conclusion, if I want an enjoyment, I want a light movie just like this. There is emotion but not too heavy.

With a lot of animated movie, I thought this is another product from Pixar/Disney. But it is a Universal Studios animation that uses a little budget. At US$ 69 M, I believe it is a success for them. Even though I watched it with a normal screening, with my little imagination skill, I believe you will be more entertained if you watched it with 3D glasses. There even put 3 extra scenes at the end with some techniques that I believe will be much more meaningful if we used 3D glasses. But for 3D screening, there will be no subtitle and for me it will be hard to understand. Well, I don’t think I have the opportunity now because it is almost the end of the show period of this movie. So many other stories entering the market now like Salt, Inception, Chloe and incoming Air Bender.

Well, usually we hope that a movie does not disappoint us if it is for paid tickets. Then the paid ticket is useful as we feel the satisfaction. In the end, I still can laughs if we talk about the movie again with my friends. I even smiling if I just think about the movie and Agnes and also the minions. I feel, I wanted to watch the movie again. But never mind, I have to wait for some time. If you ask for me to rate it, I will give it 4 out of 5. That means you will get the value for you ticket, nice pictures, nice sound and good to watch in cinema. I believe the rate will be 4.5/5 if you watched it in 3D. Even with the normal screening, I can imagine how 3D going to be. It’s great. Okay, that’s it for now. Thanks Gru, Margo, Edith, Agnes (I love you) and Vector (mathematical term that I understand). You cheering up my mind.
