Despicable Me 4 - Review 

Who’s only here to watch Dan’s hatred for Minions again? 🤣🤣🤣

When people say you have to "suffer for your art", they're talking about Dan watching all of the Minions movies.

Yay! It’s Dan talking about his best friends in the whole wide world, the Minions!

I love how much Dan hate the Minions. 😂

Dan before a Minionverse movie: "I picked a helluva day to quit sniffin' glue."

Release the anger Dan

This review is 100 times funnier than the movie will ever be lol

"Just go with it" he said in an increasingly desperate voice.

So. . . does this whole franchise take place over a single year? Margot and the other girls (cannot remember their names) haven't aged a day since Despicable Me 1.

Wait, did they seriously make a movie of Gru vs. Megamind and NOT capitalize on that?

Now we know what kind of movie to expect if we see a thumbnail of Dan with a frying pan.

You have no idea how excited I am to see this review. Not because I wanna see the movie, just because I want to see Dans reaction to it. 😂

It's the Chicken Mc Nuggets of Movies 🤣🤣

“E-coli infested Big Mac” 😂 That’s a new one I have to use!

Thank you for your service, Dan...

Insert Palpatine's "Good. let the hate flow through you" here..... Lol.

Drink every time Dan says minions with the disdain setting turned up to 11

The minions are the cinematic enemies of dan. Once gru became a good guy and silly dad the franchise lost it appeal

Let your kids sniff markers for the Minion experience without Minion prices! 😂 Savage Dan is fun.

I would really like to see a conversation between Dan and someone who loves the Minions movies but hates Hereditary 😂

After suffering through, "The Minions," there were three young women maybe early teens behind me and one said: "that was way better than 'Inside Out'!" I never knew that the slow head turn of disbelief was actually a thing until I did it myself in that moment. To be clear, I didn't engage with them in any way and doubt they even noticed me. I was just in so much shock at having heard that I wanted to make sure actual people were behind me.

Saw it yesterday with my son. He loved it... he is the perfect age for poop jokes 🤣🤣

"Even though I hate👏hate👏hate👏 the Minions so much, I'm picking Despicable Me 4 to be the #1 movie of the summer".

I had no plans to see the movie but I was looking forward to Dan's shade-throwing review.

what Dan trying to say is he loves these movies

"There are worse things you could suffer through" Dan It should be on the poster 🤣

"just go with it..."😄

The first movie functioned better as an absurdist, if messy, allegory of self-doubt for new fathers--this is backed up by the mother's degrading attitude towards Gru until he proves himself a good father (that has nothing to do with his desire to be the greatest supervillain) and even the goal of stealing the moon is very similar to the idea of promising somebody the moon. On a personal note, it doesn't hurt that the three little girls are analgous by age and personality to my three much younger adopted sisters, and so the first film will always have a place in my heart. That the following movies progressively focused more on Gru's supervillainy and shift to being a super spy of sorts was disappointing to me--and the filmmakers' assertion that the children will never age as the series limps on is just more proof that they don't understand what made the first movie great.

I’m in total agreement with Dan here. The movie is not terrible, but after Inside Out; there is a huge gap in great cinema and this movie. But like Dan, I would probably prefer anything else to rewatching this.

This is what upsets me the most about these kinds of movies: there is no reason to have big name actors attached to these for voices. All of these actors don’t need this work, and you’ve got plenty of jobbing professional voice actors who would looooove this kind of exposure and financial gain.

Wait…smart inventor…voiced by will Farrell…IS THIS MOVIE’S VILLAIN A MEGAMIND KNOCKOFF?!?!?

So the song at the end is my favorite song of all time. Nothing can accurately describe the fear I felt when the first few notes started. Haunting. Genuinely haunting.

My husband really took a bullet today and took the kids to see this movie. Tomorrow is my birthday, so, not having to go see this with the kids is my birthday present!

I just saw Film Critic, Dan Murrell, Dan Murrell Movies on my local newscast talking about Despicable Me 4!

the 3D in Despicable me 4 is so damn good. we are so incredibly lucky to see *two* natively-rendered stereo films released within weeks of one another!

Hearing Dan talk about the despicable me / minions just reminds me of the Dave Chapelle show skit called the haters players ball where the top haters come to compete to see who's the biggest hater haha

It's so funny he hates them so much, on other hand Mark Kermeode, my other fav critic, loves minions lmao what a duality

"JUST GO WITH IT" 😂😂

"... just go with it... or don't, if you just don't want to see the movie after all."

Best part of this film is the fast-food menu items for it from McDonalds.

Inside out is an amazing movie, my kids like it. But yesterday my kids and nephew were hysterical!!! They absolutely loved it! They are 6, 11 and 12

5 years and there will be despicable me 20th anniversary

I had no intention of seeing this until I found out some Minions were getting Super Serum, so I went. The mega minions were underutilized as was Sofia Vergara and the woman that got her hair messed up. I thought it was dull.

Dan the man, just wanna say ur vids are awesome! Ive always been obsessed with box office numbers and i always look forward to ur weekly vids. Keep up the great work dawg

Taking my kids to this made me realize how my grandmother must have felt taking me to see Monkeybone

Dan doing God’s work by doing these reviews.

It's crazy that dan is ranting on the film but somehow im not offended even though i like these films

Illumination must be stopped

I watched this movie a few days ago, and it's the first time in a while where I struggle to stay awake.

Mike White was a 'Survivor' contestant.

it was all worth it for that closing musical number tho. that joint had me H Y P E D

I had fun with this movie. It was a good time.

I’m a fan of this franchise and I didn’t mind this movie And it’s for all ages

I have enjoyed this franchise in the past, but in this one it felt like they were more interested in doing a bunch of minion shorts and threw in a thin storyline for Gru to make it a feature length movie. I didn’t hate it, but I instantly forgot about it. Kids will love though, and I guess thats what matters.

The fact that Dan rated this anything above an absolute 0 means that this thing must be a masterpiece 😂

The film looking like a collage on moments that really didn’t get a laugh out of me in the trailer is one thing. But I personally don’t like how it seems to completely disregard 3 and I don’t even hold 3 in high regard (just thinking it’s good). I’m not going to see it.

Thanks for the video Dan!

This movie has already made over 1.6 trillion dollars! You better talk about that on the show tomorrow!

My 3 year old loved it

Every once in a while we get another episode in the dan hates minions saga and it is incredible every time

Have kids sniff markers! I love your honest opinions 😂

Well this kind of movie gives the studios money to give bigger budget good directors. Animation is saving cinema

Please, Dan! I really needed you to say this is good! I need a great minions movie in my life right now

You are so funny Dan. I also hate the minions movies, but as a mom I think despicable me 3 was fun. Although I hated the Garfield movie a lot more than you did. Thanks for the review!

I can't wait until next summer's unexpected crossover film, Angel Studios' Sound of Minions! 😂

Mike white, legendary survivor contestant

I will never understand Dan’s hatred for the Minions, they are hysterical, some of the funniest slapstick comedy in recent film history

"It's better than the MINIONS MOVIES!!" raves Dan Murrell.

Hey Dan, did Spencer J. Gilbert co-write your script for this review? 😂 You poor thing, having to watch this movie to review it...

Thank god. After Dan acknowledged Transformers became tolerably well written and acted, a second franchise improving would have been too much and a sign of the apocalypse.

I remember there's a lot minions fans going to see 2022 minions in my nearest AMC theater and glad I didn't went to see it however I regret didn't use the digital codes for despicable me franchise 😩 🔫

Which is worse? 1) Minions movie? 2) Minions movie making $1billion box office?

Gru should of remained evil and still be a good dad

Me too Dan, me too

Despicable Me 4 was by far the worst Despicable Me movie so far (maybe even worse than the 2 Minions movies). There was barely any story. So many threads that went nowhere and was completely pointless. The Mega Minions didn’t do anything except for the obvious merchandising opportunities. The karate? The hairstyling? Nope. Just single scene sketches. No role on the overall plot.

Just saw this today…my first ever venture into the Minion-verse because my nephew’s mom wouldn’t take him…I have lots of questions…but I’ll just stick with this.. What’s the point of bringing in Will Ferrell to just have him do a weak, vaguely European accent? I know you could say the same about Carell but he’s been doing it for 14 years, it’s kind of set in. See also half of Sofia Vergara’s lines being just laughter and Stephen Colbert having a totally nothing role. Mike White, whyyyyyyyy?

Illumination has got to be the worst studio working today.

So as relevant as Kung Fu Panda 4? 😂

Don't usually see Dan get this heated but if any franchise is gonna pull it off

The story is really slapdash. I just noticed this was the third "Despicable Me" movie in a row in which the Minions get separated from Gru. I expected their storyline was going to involve a battle royale between the Minions and the cockroaches with the MegaMinions tipping the scales. But the MegaMinions seemed to only serve leading into a "We hate superheroes" joke. It was a wasted opportunity. (I also can't help but wonder if the ending song was picked because of Skibidi Toilets.)

If you got kids, take them. Go to a theater that serves beer. Drank 3 beers and had a few lite chuckles. Kids liked it

Mega minion is a clash Royale troop

do they explain how at least 9 months have passed, since there is a new baby, but the 3 girls haven't aged?

Count How Many Times Dan Said Minions On Monday

Hey Dan, could you give a review of the Movie Pass Documentary on Max. I really like to hear your opinion on it.

When this movie was announced I got hyped AF. I said "F@#$ yeah!!! a Dan Rant 🤬 😂

Why didnt the 3 girls even grow an inch after 4 movies and a baby?

I feel like your see it meter should have just had a banana ranking to be as ridiculous as these movies 😂

Take a shot every time Dan takes a shot at the Minions!

This review was just fantastic 😂😂😂 I saw it today but for the most gimmicky reason. My family is now identical to Gru’s family. I have three little girls and a baby boy. I felt like I needed to see it even though I know exactly what I’m getting with these movies 😂 I really wasn’t expecting much, but I was weirdly more underwhelmed than I expected. I wanted them to do more with the baby and they just didn’t. I agree with you that it was way less annoying than the last three but still not great. I would’ve personally ranked it at “it’s fine”. But like I said, this review was everything 😂

Well in my opinion maxime le mal was the best character

I agree with most of what you said, Dan, but still...I'm not a huge Minions fan and I think they are by far the funniest part of this movie. Not so much the Megaminions, which have some decent gags, but mostly the other Minions. As silly as it was the minion that gets trapped in the vending machine is the funniest part of the movie. I also think Minions 1 and 2 were better movies than this one. Like you said this one was especially unfocused. The Minions movies and the three first Despicable Me movies were sometimes more gag oriented than story oriented but didnt present and abandon subplots as randomly as this one. This was especially boring for that reason. It is very hiperactive so it may be entertaining for kids but as an adult I find it uninteresting if the subplots are not going anywhere.

Self flogging for what reason?

I haven't heard a barage of criticism like this since Dan's review of a Transformers 5. Dan needs a hug ASAP; the man is clearly suffering.

You cannot deny that this franchise is massive, but the story is nonsense and slapstick. The question is how long can they maintain their consistency of box office

Your review means nothing! It will still be a massive blockbuster even though nobody asked for it . It’s pretty much the perfect animated franchise and a couple more no doubt will be made .

I'm with you on Minions. Gah, now all those stupid memes will be resurfacing...

Despicable Me 4 was a bit of a mess. While the Minions’ antics still provided occasional laughs,

Just got home from watching this movie. Really liked it, very funny, many good jokes and a not too bad of a plot.
