Returning director Chris Renaud, co-director of parts one and two, knows his way around the characters, and he knows what his audience wants: cartoon mayhem, mild naughtiness from the Minions, social awkwardness from Gru.
The plot can sometimes feel like a chaotic melange stretched too thin, but White, who wrote the Illumination avian charmer Migration, elevates the overall narrative by injecting doses of his perennial interest in the social codes of the rich. The Minions get a zany B plot that becomes one of the film’s strongest threads, and a strong voice cast keeps the film engaging and nimble.

I watched a few critics reviews and seen bad grades about new movie . I fully don't agree with critics opinions because in my opinion create a few continues of movie is not easiest mission, we have already 4 masterpieces of despicable Me and i think that is big progress ! If you want hear my opinion about the movie, he is good . not so bad how others told. Animations is new, and much more !

Sure it repeats everything it did the last three times, but thanks to Steve Carell’s lovable grump of a Gru and those wild and crazy Minions, the random lunacy remains hard to resist.
Despicable Me 4 is co-written by Mike White (“Migration”) and has a bit more wit and heart — not to mention a few more laughs — than the recent entries in the “Despicable” series.
Despicable Me 4 is just messy and wearying, even at a scant 95 minutes.
It looks fantastic, Gru is still loveable, and smaller viewers will be engaged enough. But Despicable Me 4 stalls in its overstuffed plot and its lack of an interesting narrative.

FULL REVIEW
Despicable Me 4 loses focus like a golden retriever in a Petco plushie aisle, splitting characters into bottled subplots that can only be addressed in single-file order.
The film "Despicable Me 4" fails to inject new life into the franchise and seems somewhat saturated, unless there are significant changes or new ideas to revitalize Gru's universe and make future films **** those familiar with the franchise, "Despicable Me 4" presents all the elements already established in the previous films, but with a predictable narrative, introducing new characters that fail to stand out and a villain that I consider to be the weakest in the franchise. The film has no innovations to differentiate it from the others and, in short, it's just another chapter.Although in many cases being just another movie isn't necessarily a bad thing, in this context we're looking at the fourth Gru movie plus two spin-offs with the Minions, all following the same formula. In "Despicable Me 4", it's clear that the studio has invested more in branding the franchise than in the quality of the film itself. Despite these flaws, the movie still manages to provide moments of fun and laughter, although it doesn't go beyond that.

Bad movie. Maybe if you're a 2year old, it's funny. But the amount of same jokes (some ongoing event, Minions come into the picture and 'funny' happens) is tedious and uninspired. Even when it arrives free on streaming, watch only if you have exhausted all other programs.
