After seeing the trailer, I’ll admit I’m quite looking forward to this. Cool to know that Pharrell Williams is back on the soundtrack too. 
Even if [spoil]she does wind up becoming the “love interest” and probably the inevitable new mother to the girls, I’m not really bothered by it. I also like that her character design isn’t overly “pretty”–it’s still sort of cartoony and silly like Gru’s.[/spoil]
^Oh cool I’m glad to hear that about Pharell Williams. He added so much awesome to the first film’s soundtrack 
I’m still very very psyched for DM2… still need to see a trailer, but the new toys they have for it alone have me totally obsessed!
I think it’s cute if she becomes their “mother”. It’s predictable, but the entire first movie was. That isn’t always bad if it’s done well.
^Those are my thoughts exactly. 
It has less to do with the predictability and more with the likability of the execution.
Exactly! When did you last see an extremely original movie? If it’s done well, that’s good enough.
I saw it yesterday (Netherlands) and it is really fun! Although it was a bit of an overkill of minion jokes it was still a lot of fun! Go watch it!
Ugh, that’s my least favorite. The Minions.
Upon finally seeing the trailer on MU, it looks so awesome I think my head will explode X3 I can’t waaaaaaaitttt!
At MU my parents said this was the only trailer that interested them, and the Lego movie.
Unlike the other non-Disney films this year, I will be fortunate enough to see this one. My dad’s a fan, not sure if my mom or sister will be going. I sort of thought the first one could have been better, but I didn’t mind it. It was fine, and actually I think this one looks even better.
But besides this one, I probably won’t be able to see a non-Disney film in theaters until next year when I can drive myself to the theaters on my own.
This review preview. Omg. 
…Regardless, I do hope to see this movie in theaters.
Ugh. It’s one of those reviewers. I’ll be ignoring her, personally.
What is it with some reviewers these days? I don’t remember it being this controversial ten years ago! Most people generally could come to a consensus, but now opinions are so divided and mixed that I can’t even enjoy being online sometimes (which is the main reason I feel like I will only be posting here from time to time).
I’m fine with opinions being different, but plenty of criticisms these days seemed to be filled with such passion that it seems like some critics and audiences like to dislike certain films and say it enough times so that other people can agree with them. Can’t we just give credit where credit is due? And if something is bad, can’t we just say it once or twice without dwelling on it longer than we have to?
I’m sorry. The thing is, it doesn’t really matter and there are much more important things in life than a movie’s perfection.
^I fully entirely understand, LQ. I hate to admit that I sometimes will just skim posts here to avoid negativity and move on, but I do. We go to movies to enjoy them, and that’s the way it should be. One of the little joys in life for me is that, whenever my parents watch a movie with me, they enjoy it, no questions (mostly because we’ve seen nothing but good movies together at this point). It makes it more fun to enjoy it with them when my Dad and I can go see Cars 2 and Monsters University and laugh and do Sulley and Mater impersonations the whole way back from the theater! I wish that more people looked at movies like this, not saying we can’t get in real deep (as I will do quite often with Cars 2 and MU and Despicable Me), but I think sometimes people forget the reason we go to the movies in the first place, and especially when it comes to Pixar films and other animated movies. OK… rant over…
LQ, I definitely think the criteria for being a critic listed on RT has considerably weakened in the last several years. Is Armond White still writing? Awful to know there’s more like him… 
Thank you, Leirin and OWP! I mean, Rotten Tomatoes kind of used to be considerably reliable, but I think it just got more and more ridiculous these last couple of years. And that’s right, Armond White is one of the popular ones…
But I’m sorry, I didn’t need to bring up the reviews thing. We all know it’s annoying, but at least we can still enjoy the movie coming out. Has anyone seen any of the clips yet? I saw a few and they were cute! Also, I didn’t realize this was coming out on a Wednesday, which is tomorrow! Yeah!
I’m trying to hold off on seeing any full clips until I’ve seen it, but the TV spots alone are so exciting and hilarious that my brother and I can’t get enough! Somehow we can’t stop saying “Lipstick taserrrr!” XD I know I’ll be making a point to see it ASAP!
Well I saw it today! I babysit, so I was basically paid to see it. And I’m totally glad I did.
The Good- It was HILARIOIUS. I could not stop laughing. Less minions than I was expecting
The Bad- Unstable story due to the fact that the villains defeat was ridiculous and unconvincing. Plus fart jokes.
I really loved it 
Maaaaybe not as much as the first, but I still thought they did a good job. Lots of laughable moments, as well as moments that made you feel. My only complaint was that some of the major plot points were predictable to the point where I knew what was going to happen pretty early on, and the ending was a little anticlimactic… but other than that, it was really enjoyable
Well… there is the matter of the little brat behind me who insisted on kicking the back of the chair throughout the entire movie, and her dad who refused to make her stop… but that’s a whole other matter -_-
Yeah, the plot was incrediblly weak.
