Not as bad as I expected

Rating: Null/10 (31 May 2020)

I was really put off by the annoying trailers and memes so I didn't watch this film for many years. Well, it was better than I thought. The minions are only funny in small doses so their speech gets tiresome but there is a surprisingly heartfelt plot to tie it all together. It is quite let down by some of the awkward gags that slowed down the film, and by Scarlet Overkill who is not as interesting or memorable as Gru. To be honest, I had the most fun once I realised that the minions were speaking real languages and tried to guess the origins of all of their phrases.
