Not Horrible, But Still Bad

Rating: 4/10 (12 May 2016)

Minions follows the minions from the animated movie series 'Despicable Me' as they search for the most evil master they can to serve.
How do I even review a movie like this? I really can't name a whole lot of specific things I didn't like, it was just too childish and didn't make a whole lot of sense all the time. You could argue that it's a kid's movie so I can't say that, but that is probably the least valid argument you can make about any movie. Considering the amount of kid's movies that have been enjoyed by all ages, you really can't just pull out that excuse for this movie specifically.
The movie really just wasn't that funny. I could tell that it tried to appeal to an older audience, but it didn't work for me. It was all just referential humor that won't be funny in a few years when those trends have expired and no one has any idea what they meant. I can't say the characters were good or bad because I didn't know what any of them were saying. Although I can say that I don't think Sandra Bullock was a good choice for Scarlet Overkill. She just didn't feel right with the role. Her voice didn't match with her character very well, nor did she seem to be at all into her role.
Overall Minions is just a poorly made movie. It's not completely terrible, I chuckled a few times, but it's just not any good regardless. In the end I wouldn't recommend this movie.
