Minions – Rating 8 out of 10
You have already seen these tiny little creatures in the movie Despicable Me.
However this movie is kind of a prequel to Despicable me from Minions’ point of view.
Do not miss the start of this movie at any cost. The first 5 minutes sets the tone of movie.
The journey of minions has been excellently shown for us to understand why they embark on a journey to find a Villainous boss.
What happens next is 90 mins of fast paced fun and cat and mouse chase between the minions and the super-villain.
The animation is outstanding and storyline up to the mark. There are no dull-scenes as the editing team seems to have done their job brilliantly.
Good thing about this movie is that you are …

Minions: Little, Yellow, Different (In a Good Way)
Chris Kavan - wrote on 07/18/2015
Minions may be aimed at a younger crowd, but I still found plenty to enjoy in the escapades of everyone's favorite little, yellow chaos-causing Minions. Plus, considering most of the film is spoken in a wild mix of English, Spanish, Indonesian and straight-up gibberish, it's no small feat you can get an hour-and-a-half out of it and still feel like nothing was filler.
Minions starts off at the beginning - the way beginning - as we see single-cell Minions evolve into our pill-shaped friends we know and love. Their goal is simple - always follow the biggest, meanest most evil guy around... well, unless they happen to cause their untimely demise. Dinosaurs? Check. Neanderthals? Check Egypt? Check. Napoleon? Check. But eventually they finds themselves alone and bored - until one brave …

Amusing, But Strictly for Kids

'Minions' is the side character spin-off that I was not hoping for. I remember laughing a whole lot whenever these yellow guys appeared in the two 'Despicable Me' movies. Here, not near as much. The wonky story and plot are serviceable for a wacky cartoon flick. The minions themselves have just enough charm and personality to carry this endeavor. It's the humor that didn't work for me. The vast majority of jokes were pandering to the smallest of children. Tired routines of slapstick and sight gags that I've seen a hundred times. Every once in a while a smart quip would show. I chuckled now and then, but for a movie built on cartoon antics it didn't measure up. A coupe of scenes of fast paced lunacy contained that vibe I was looking for. Wish it would've lasted the whole …

Fine -- plenty of cute, and a few genuine laughs. I played spoil sport and worried about the politics of it, but in that respect it was somewhat less objectionable than I expected. Didn't romanticize the monarchy over much, and there are plausible marxist readings.
I am overall very interested in the Despicable Me franchise, because of the delicate line it walks in glorifying villainy. Unusual for a kids' movie, to say the least. Of course, the movies are hazy about what actual bad deeds are being committed. I mean, for the most part it's pretty light stuff that doesn't have any real moral consequence. It might be harder to root for Gru and his minions if they were, say, kidnapping young women and selling them into sex slavery. But given that necessary limitation, DM really doesn't …

Good kids, not for me

My face while watching this movie (-_-)
The story is about the origins of the Minions, the little, yellow creatures have always attached themselves to the most ambitious, powerful super villain with one mission - serve them with all their might. But when the masters are killed, the Minions find themselves without a purpose and thus go into a self-imposed exile. After years, the Minions finally return and in the 60's attends a super villain conference where they hope to find a new master - and the first female super villain Scarlett Overkill seems to be the obvious choice.
Who the hell doesn't love those little yellow one eye or two eye minions. They made Despicable Me one and two watchable and stole the show for us. Minions have become a fan favorite and everybody couldn't get …
