The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Illumination animation has done it again by adding a spin-off movie despicable me and adding a movie with only minions and you well get minions.I hate the minions movie because the casting for the movie was sub-par I mean they had a narrator for 6 minutes or less for absolutely no reason as were the movie can be told through visuals and my god the animation for this movie was terrible but take this for example, I draw a simple face it looks cute but then I start adding more details to it to make it look like something hideous.The minions movie has a tad bit of eccentric comedy and there are two terms of comedy: Surrealist comedy and silent comedy and there were two more animated movies on 2015 which was SpongeBob Squarepants Sponge out of Water and Shaun the Sheep the movie.Let's start with the SpongeBob movie, it is a live action movie and it was pretty clever for having Antonio Banderas as the evil pirate and so onethen came the Shaun the sheep the movie however it is told through visuals this means that no one talks during this movie other than gibberish which is also funny.But when minions try to do this it is not funny anymore it is just boring and stupid. So here's the plot, the minions are in a search for a master(villain) and one becomes the king of England another one Jacuzzis with two fire hydrants just to make an innuendo for some weird reason, the plot always falls into plot twist and they are not even consistent.And on that year they discouraged kids to watch the lego movie even though it shows good morals and responsibility, they want to dumb them out by watching a minions movie how stupid is that

Since the beginning of existence, there were minions, tiny little yellow creatures, destined to serve an evil boss in his quest for power, fame and world domination. The only problem was that their bosses had quite some problems staying alive under their supervision. Soon after they settle down by themselves, they realize that their lives are empty without a purpose, so three brave but also foolish minions set out to an evil villain convention in order to find their new master.It's a prequel to the "Despicable Me" movie which tells the story of the minions and how they ended up serving Gru. As you would expect, all their actions are meant to induce laughter and for a while, they succeed. Unfortunately, it all gets mediocre and used up, a good laugh only rarely comes up. It's plot doesn't come in handy either, being unable to do something than can change something in the movie's rhythm.Frankly, I was expecting tons of laughter and a good plot but I got a bit disappointed by the final result.

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.

Minions is a mediocre film. It has a decent plot, but the film completely wastes any potential it could've had. The problem I had with it is that the film revolves around a side character that was fun in small doses, but annoying in long ones. For example, the first Despicable Me film was a great flick. It had a good plot, good characters, and good writing. The minions were in it, but they were funny and only shown in short bits. However, here, they're on the screen all the time and the jokes with them aren't really all that funny. Overall, this film is great for kids, but adults may want to stray away from it.
