mastergamerrhienfo A movie about minions, what can you expect, Can I just talk about the jokes In this film, 1 I found actually funny and another joke was like "Wow that's kinda neat".The music was meh with some good songs and the animation was alright, the story was horrible and so were the character developments, and the characters in general.Some things don't add up in the movie, like there is this chase scene and this guy uses some paintball looking weapon, when he could have use and basooka in the back of his car, or how the they just randomly say bob is the king when he pulled the sword from the stone and kick out queen Elizabeth II, horrible movie, doesn't have that many good parts, watch it just to take the piss

invisibleunicornninja This isn't a movie. This is a product. This is 91 minutes of filler designed to sell toys. Most of the "jokes" are loud, obnoxious, and lazy. This commercial doesn't get anywhere near as absurdist as it thinks it is. The plot is virtually nonexistent. The only thing that's enjoyable about this thing is all the violence and bright colors. Seriously, there is a ton of violence in this product. A lot of people die. Sure, it adds stakes to the "plot" but its not that appropriate for children. This product is not worth watching.

xinzhaorekter The characters are awful, the minions are some of the most hateable things that i ever saw, i saw this movie with my little cousin (who is 5 btw) and he hated it too, because he was annoyed the entire time, the story is as bland and stupid as it gets, its so pandering to be non offensive that it becomes highly offensive, in my sincere and utmost opinion, ANY family movie is better

Animated Antic A movie series has to be really careful when it makes its comic relief the main characters of a film because most of the time when a movie attempts to do this, it usually badly backfires. One notable example was Pixar's "Cars 2." It tried to make the comic relief Mater the main character and it really badly backfired. Now Illumination is giving the Minions from the highly entertaining "Despicable Me" series their own film, and sadly is doesn't work either. It's not awful, but I didn't particularly enjoy it. I don't exactly know what went wrong here, but I'll try my best to say what happened.The film did start off with promise. It started with a highly entertaining showing the troubled history of the Minions trying to have a particular evil boss, and failing. They kill off every master they come across, including a T-Rex, a caveman, the ancient Egyptians, Dracula, even Napoleon. Eventually, the Minions decide to isolate themselves in Antarctica and start living a happy life down at the bottom of the world. Years go by, and the Minions get depressed. However, three brave Minions named Kevin, Bob and Stuart start feeling that they should have a boss and decide to leave the freezing climates and head North. They eventually end up in 1968 New York City and start to look for a boss. They eventually come across an ad for the most evil villain in the world at the time, Scarlett Overkill (Sandra Bullock) and head to Orlando to work for her. They eventually get chosen and Overkill and her husband Herb (Jon Hamm) reveals her next evil scheme which is to try to steal the crown of Queen Elizabeth (Jennifer Saunders) and the rest of the movie is basically indescribable chaos.The biggest problem with the movie is the fact that the movie is not very funny. Don't get me wrong though, the movie does have humorous moments including the aforementioned opening scene and a pretty hilarious scene involving a crazy family played humorously by Michael Keaton and Allison Janney. Aside from those two moments, I was hoping something funny would occur, but nothing really made me laugh. This is where I realized that the movie was lacking something. It was lacking the other characters that made the "Despicable Me" series work. It needed characters like Gru, Dr. Nefario, Lucy, the girls, Gru's mother. The newer characters just weren't that funny or interesting. I also thought Scarlet Overkill wasn't that evil especially with her extremely weak crime that she's committing. The film doesn't even really have that much of a story. I honestly don't know what it was going for and felt like it was just there to make jokes which was the most likely reason. "Minions" was a real disappointment. It has some humorous moments, but not a lot of them. It just doesn't really have the charm that the "Despicable Me" movies were so good at capturing. It's honestly a harmless waste of time for very young kids, but it's certainly not something for the whole family.
