Ich - Einfach unverbesserlich 2 (2013) Online-Streaming-

[A] remarkably tepid sequel to the surprise 2010 hit .... [Despicable] Me 2, even at its weakest, is still a charmer.. [It] is consistently diverting and so cute you'll want to pet it. Yet it is also weightless and lacks a center.. The animation is beguiling, particularly when Lucy drives her car into the ocean, transforming it into a submarine that scoots around sharks and fish.. The scope of the 'toon espionage-adventure goings-on is surprisingly limited. But the filmmakers so clearly love wor...

Saying that Brave is entertaining but not astonishing is pretty much admitting your straight-A student got a B..

And it never quite meant pleasantly safe, safely forgettable movies like this.. It's a subpar story that seems to exist mainly to sell a new Disney Princess in the form of wild-haired Merida.....
