Will kids like this? Yes. Will adults? No.

Rating: 5/10 (14 August 2015)

I am a huge fan of the "Despicable Me" movies. They are very good examples of films that could make kids crack up but also have enough heart to get adults interested in the story too. "Minions" does not follow in the footsteps of it's predecessor. The animation is obviously well done and the minions make a very likable protagonist. But two hours of that silly minion language is just too much. It can be funny from the start, but by the time the movie ends, they just start to irritate you. The supporting characters such as Scarlett and Herb Overkill aren't as interesting or compelling as Gru and Lucy. "Minions" doesn't give enough reasoning on why you should care about the story. All this movie is is just silliness, conflict, more silliness and then it ends. Verdict: The kids will be occupied with fun cheesy minion weirdness but will leave adults bored out of there minds. I recommend you just stay at home and watch the original "Despicable Me" movies.
