Despicable Me 4 in cinemas
In the press ratings, Despicable Me 4 does not make the best impression. The average rating in the Tomatometer is 5.5 out of 10 possible points. But anyone who thinks that the audience shares a similar impression is mistaken.
With an audience score of 4.3 out of 5, the animated film is clearly convincing. The average rating on IMDb is 6.3 out of 10 possible stars. The fan community does not seem to be expecting a cinematic disaster. Only time will tell how the fourth part will fare against the rest of the series.
The third film in particular is stumbling enormously on Rotten Tomatoes. Not only does the meager 5.7 out of 10 on the Tomatometer speak against the project, but especially the comparatively meager audience score of 3.4 points.
