An average prequel

Rating: 7/10 (5 September 2017)

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.
