Not for me but a younger audience will love it

Rating: 4/10 (8 July 2015)

Minions is the prequel to the Despicable Me franchise featuring everyones favourite Minions. I have to say i didn't really like this movie, i was quite bored for a lot of the movie as this movie didn't have much in it for anyone over 10 years old. There were a few funny moments here and there, but very few, and even then they weren't laugh out loud moments. Now, i am definitely not the target audience for a film like this but it would have benefited greatly from having a little more humour that a wider audience could enjoy, just look at pixar films aka Inside Out. The plot also wasn't anything great, it was your standard villain vs the heroes scenario but being a kids movie you can't knock it down for doing what it intended. The minions of course were the stars of the film (hence the title) and whatever good moments there were to enjoy came from them. If you loved the minions in the previous films you will love them in this as you get much of the same type of humour.
There isn't that much i can say about this film, i guess it accomplished what it set out to do for its intended audience, but unfortunately didn't offer any more than that. The performances and the characters weren't the problem, both the new and old characters i thought were well written and acted. Just the humour didn't really work for me most of the time, so i'm going to rate it a little low but if you really love the minions or are taking young kids to see it you and/or they will definitely get more out of it. - 4/10
