Adorable! If you enjoyed the first movie then you should love this one! The villains are not the focus of this one. It is more of a redemption story. Gru (voice by Steve Carell) is no longer and evil villain trying to steal the moon or take things. He know is a happy father to Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Agnes (Elsie Fisher), and Edith (Dana Gaier). This Anti-villain task for ask Gru to join them but even in this task force to take down villains they may have their own agenda.
Gru works with Lucy (Kristen Wiig) to watch the workers in this shopping center to catch the bad guy. There is a Mexican restaurant owned by Eduardo who Gru is convinced is El Macho. However the Anti-villain says they have the guy. But then why are his minions being taken? Gru does not notice this because he is not as focused on being home, or the jam they were making. His trusty sidekick Dr. Nefario (Russel Brand) has missed doing evil and leaves him.
What he did not know was the evil planning was with El Macho and they are taking the minions and turning them into evil killers! They are indestructible. Of course there needs to be an epic battle between Gru and El Macho. Good verses evil is always a good match up.
Be ready to smile, giggle, feel slightly sad, but overall entertained.

Man of Steel
First I must admit that I saw this movie twice. TWICE! I cannot give it a proper review because each time I was distracted while watching it. Well hello, Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) is easy on the eyes but that wasn't it. There was just so much happening with the history and the length of the film that my second time watching it I fell a sleep. I don't fall asleep during movies so this wasn't a normal thing. Granted this could have been from the exhaustion of crazy life happening but still, I am saying there is a bias going into this review.
Sharing all that I will say it was generally a good movie. Could things have been taken out? Yes. Where there too many story lines going on? Yes. So, this story could have been made into two movies. On one hand was the history of who Superman man was and where he came from. This wasn't the first movie ever made though. I think that is why the writer David Goyer believed there needed to be the villain of General Zod (Michael Shannon). The villain was helpful because it was apart of the story of where he came from and connecting Clark to his original home.
Great, we have a connection of his previous world and Earth... Sound familiar? THOR.. cough cough. For you avid comic book fans you can tell me if I am wrong but I don't know the Superman story and his origins and all that so this all seemed to fit under the present Marvel franchise. Which good for them and creating all this head way. I am a Marvel fan, I enjoyed Spiderman (all four), Avengers, Thor, Iron Man, Captain America and Hulk. Well I haven't seen the remake but I did enjoy them so I am in no way trying to put them down. Although it is become clear that this happens to be a franchise.
I must give credit to Lois Lane, I think Amy Adams gave her more of that stronger women persona. Granted it is a strong 21st women. Which don't get me wrong I love a strong woman but I think we are over shadowing men a little too much and they are being seen as having no back bone in the world by television, movies, and ad. It's a little much for me. They wonder why woman can't find a man, stop putting them in such a light of being weak, all I'm say.
Now I will stop with rants and basically with this movie, I am sure you will end up seeing this at some point with friends who are Marvel fans. There was nothing too crazy or outstanding. It could have been shortened or broken into two movies rather than having two strong story lines overlapping like they did. Of course there is an ending that just shows this is not going to be the last Superman, which I cannot complain.
