Awfully Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (24 April 2016)

Minions Stuart, Kevin and Bob are recruited by Scarlet Overkill, a super-villain who, alongside her inventor husband Herb, hatches a plot to take over the world.
I don't want to be the bad guy, but I thought this was an awfully dull movie. I like both "Despicable Me" movies and I generally like the minions, but something was off here. Really the only character I found humorous was Herb Overkill. The Nelsons were also okay, and I wouldn't have minded more with them.
Scarlet Overkill was a drag. She was too over-the-top, her dresses just too much and she was too much... too much. I guess that's the irony of naming a character "overkill", but she just didn't have the right mix of humor and evil.
On a positive note, the soundtrack is very, very good.
