Review of Minions (2015) by Robert M — 18 Jan 2016

If I know the minions enough, I felt like this could have been quite a bit funnier than it turned out to be. The storyline for the most part was okay, but the movie certainly was no real classic. If you're into the whole Despicable Me concept, it is still fairly interesting at how the "history" behind the little yellow creatures came to be in the first place.

For one thing, I just didn't feel like I was laughing as much as I expected and some of the dialogues and jokes just didn't feel, well, "Despicable Meish" as much. It did have a solid ending I will say (most people could probably just as well guess what it is story-wise if they know the series enough).

As I would agree with one other audience critic: it did lack the Despicable Me charm I will admit, which is really the only real negative to this besides one of my overall opinions: I feel like it would be hard to make a film only starring the minions (Gru stole both shows the most I would say, with even the minions not quite making second place).

However, this prequel was okay overall, with a solid ending as I mentioned before.
