Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

robertbmtan What is this. When the top review right now on IMDb is a troll review giving it a 10/10 you know something is wrong. I get that this film is trying to appeal to kids below the age of 3 with the lack of dialogue and utter absurdity, but at least make it enjoyable to the general public as well. If you want to get an idea of much you might enjoy this film (out of 10), you can simply take the inverse of your age and multiply it by 10. For example, a 1 year old would rate this film a 10/10 and a 25 year old will enjoy this film 0.4/10.OK now onto the real review. I'll first preface this by saying I really liked the first Despicable Me, and I watch many animated comedies - I'm not some sad old man with no sense of humor. But the attempted comedy in this film is so dry and stupid that it's honestly hard to laugh. Perhaps you can laugh out of pity. At least the emoji movie is a film had expectations so low and responses so bad that we could laugh about it. All this film does is have minions laugh and "speak" (more like make random sounds) in an annoying voice. Honestly there's no way you wouldn't hate minions after watching this film. The jokes in this film are unoriginal and poorly integrated.Plot: There is no plot.Characters: Lol. (can you really call minions "characters" when they have no personality and all look the same?) Setting: OK I'll be honesty, the animation and setting is pretty well made, but there's no reason to watch it for that. It's literally just a high budget DreamWorks animation :/ My advice is don't even take your 1 year old kid to watch it cuz even they will cry at how horrible this film is.

tahirkeles IMDb's Parents Guide for this film is totally wrong.IMDb's Parents Guide for this film is: Sex & Nudity 0/10 Violence & Gore 0/10 Profanity 0/10 Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking 0/10 Frightening & Intense Scenes 0/10 There are no frightening scenesBut there are more of all these in the film. especially Violence & Gore runs during all filmI trusted IMDb's Parents Guide and watched it with my son, but it was a big disappointment. I will no longer trust IMDb's parent guide.

vsd324 This movie takes the best feature of the movies Despicable Me (2010) and Despicable Me 2 (2013) and turns it into its own feature films…the minions! This movie take place BG—that is "before Gru." We learn that minions are creatures whose only satisfaction is to serve the evilest villains on earth. We see that since the dawn of time, the minions have served the worst villains from cavemen to Dracula—albeit not to the greatest success. The minions fall on dark times, where they have no villain to serve. This causes the entire minion civilization to fall into a great depression, until one day, the minion Kevin decides to set off on a quest to find the most evil villain on earth for the minions to serve. Kevin begins his quest by finding his way to Villain-Con, a convention for all of the world's super villains. It ends up that Kevin and his two apprentices Stuart and Bob fall under the employment of Scarlett Overkill, the world's first female Super-villain. Together they plot to steal the crown of the Queen of England, and the adventure unfolds. This movie is non-stop laughs from the Universal Pictures presents screen right to the Illumination Entertainment logo after the end credits roll. Much of the movie takes place in the minion language (which while incomprehensible borrows words from French, Spanish and Italian; and those are just the languages I detected). Still without understanding exactly what the minions are saying you can understand the messages conveyed, particularly when they are mocking each other for failing—some of the funniest scenes of the movie. For the third movie in a franchise this movie lives up to the first two films. A wise move to take a lovable, adorable, and hysterical character and spin off it's own film.

Hollywood_Yoda When this film was released two years ago, I had the opportunity to see it at the drive-in. It was playing as a double feature with JURASSIC WORLD, not sure who decided that! Either way, seeing it on a huge screen while in the privacy of my own car with my family was a great experience. Sadly, one we might never get again since the drive-in closed soon after.The animation was great, the story wasn't all that bad. Sandra Bullock's voice was okay. It was not that impressing, but better than seeing her in a live action film. The film was missing Steve Carell, of course, since the Minions had yet to meet Gru (the film is set in the 1960s).And as this year approached and the announcement of DESPICABLE ME 3 and a sequel, MINIONS 2, to be released in a few years, is great. They are funny little movies, great for the entire family.
