I was planning to see a movie this weekend, but this story just reminded me how greedy and anti-customer that whole industry is.

its not nearly as good as any of the other despicible me movies. felt like they had no idea how to tie everything together plus the kids are barely in the movie and dont do anything

I believe the Despicable Me series peaked with the second one. Everything after that feels like soulless cashgrabs to sell Minions merch.

The only good thing about the fourth movie is the opening music.

Ticket price caps should be illegal. Blame the studios

Try shopping out theaters. There are many movie theaters pretty close to each other. One of them costs $40 for tickets. The other I can get two tickets, medium popcorn, a box of candy, two medium drinks for that same $40. Guess which one I refuse to go to...

Though, I can probably sneak in that same box of candy if I really wanted to. 🤔
