Synopsis – The untold story of one 12-year-old’s dream to become the world’s greatest supervillain. My Take – Considering how successful their first film, Despicable Me, was it is of no wonder why Illumination studios keeps going back to the world they created back in 2010. A film which not only got two equally successful sequels, in 2013 and 2017, but also launched the small, … Continue reading Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022) Review!!
