Not horrible, but not good.

Rating: 4/10 (12 August 2015)

As a fan of the earlier "Dispicable Me" films and of course the minions, I was excited for this film. But I feared it'd be bad because it's just based on a side character, and those movies are usually eh.
Sadly, this is too, a "eh" film. Sure, it has a few funny moments, but that's it. The most it got was a smile though, nothing else.
The story is just plain boring and there isn't enough humour to keep the film from being a snore-fest. A huge letdown considering the previous titles.
If you've seen the trailers, you've seen all the funny bits and know the entire story. I hope that the writers and just Hollywood in general learn that these films, while they sell (sadly), are never good. This is simply because they can't write (or milk, really) a complete movie out of a few minor characters that are only ever funny in small portions.
Unless if for some reason you HAVE to see this movie because you're THAT big of a fan, or you're less than 7 years old, don't see this movie.
