I will review this article. Thank you. Ssven2 (talk) 09:35, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, nice job with the article. Looks good at first glance. Ssven2 (talk) 09:35, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's good to see you here Ssven2. I'll be here addressing all issues and helping the article to get to GA status. Thanks. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 09:47, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Images[edit]

  • Can you reduce the resolution of the images to say (both length and breadth should be between 200-400) please? Ssven2 (talk) 10:06, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Done with the images. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 10:35, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

  • Can you empty the references as per WP:LEAD and describe them in the later headings? Ssven2 (talk) 09:36, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah sure, done. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 10:01, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Plot[edit]

  • "A secret laboratory in the Arctic Circle containing a powerful mutagen known as PX-41 is stolen by a mysterious vehicle using a huge magnet." can be rephrased as "A mysterious vehicle using a huge magnet steals a powerful mutagen known as PX-41 from a secret laboratory in the Arctic Circle." Ssven2 (talk) 09:44, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Done. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 10:43, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "with his children. Antonio has left Margo for another girl. Gru uses his freeze-ray to freeze Antonio in a block of ice." - that line can be remoced and can simply end with "with his children". Ssven2 (talk) 09:50, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
removed unnecessary material. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 10:45, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can you find a better synonym for "hand-glides"? Ssven2 (talk) 09:51, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah it's done, I've wiki-linked it. It's an air sport name, and the word is "hang-glides" not "hand-glides." --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 10:53, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cast[edit]

  • "in the first film" can be rephrased as "in the prequel." Ssven2 (talk) 09:54, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Done. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 10:57, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Production[edit]

  • "they had started animating the film." can be rephrased as "they had started working on the film." Ssven2 (talk) 10:06, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Done. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 15:58, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Release[edit]

  • "yellow carpet" - Can you find a source that states the reason why there was a yellow carpet primere. If not, remove the phrase and just say, "attended the primere." Ssven2 (talk) 10:06, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, I couldn't find the source telling the reason, but I think it was because of "Yellow colored Minions." It's just my thought, but I think we should keep it as it is. There was a yellow carpet there, so it should be kept whether we know the reason or not. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 16:08, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reception[edit]

Critical Response[edit]
  • "gave the film a 'C'" can be rephrased as "gave the film a C grade" for both Entertainment Weekly and A. V. Club Ssven2 (talk) 10:20, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's done. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 16:38, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Box Office[edit]
  • "n the 100-year history of Universal Studios" can be rephrased as "for Universal Studios." Ssven2 (talk) 10:24, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I think we should keep this one as it is. It tells the accurate fact of the film's gross that it was the most profitable film in the history of Universal. It's an interesting fact. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 16:44, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "topped the box office for two consecutive weekends" can be rephrased as "remained in the first position at the box office for two consecutive weekends." for both the sections "North America" and "Outside North America". Ssven2 (talk) 10:24, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's done. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 02:03, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Captain Assassin!: Address these concerns and the article is passed. Ssven2 (talk) 10:24, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssven2: Please take a look back at the article and see if anything left. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 02:05, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
