Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Have you ever watched the Star Wars Holiday Special? This is basically Despicable Me's version but except for Wookies, it's minions.

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

This standalone film follows the Minions, who were first seen in 'Despicable Me'. We see how they have been around since the time of the dinosaurs, always trying to find the most evil beings to serve… and then accidentally kill! Eventually they can find nobody to serve and as the centuries pass they fall into a depression. One day Minion Kevin decides to do something about it; he, along with sidekicks Stuart and Bob set off to find a new evil master to serve. They find themselves in New York in 1968; there they hear that Villain-con is taking place in Orlando. They make their way there and find themselves working for top villain Scarlet Overkill. She has plans to take over England; the first stage is to get the Minions to steal the crown… not surprisingly things don't go quite as Scarlet hoped and then the Minions are in her sights.The little yellow minions were one of the highlights of the' Despicable Me' films so it isn't a surprise that they got their own film. The main story isn't particularly original but that isn't too much of a problem as it is just an excuse to put the minions in a variety of amusing situations where all their attempts to help their new mistress lead her to think they are actually working against her. Most of these set pieces are pretty funny in a way that should amuse children of all ages and adults who enjoy slapstick silliness. The '60s setting provides a good excuse to incorporate music of the era; sometimes sung in the minions' gibberish! The story ends nicely in a way that links into 'Despicable Me'. The animation is impressive with good character designs and detailed backgrounds. Overall I'd say this was a lot of fun and would recommend it even if it isn't quite up to the quality of 'Despicable Me'… it is very silly but it is also a lot of fun.

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.
