Good...Just Doesn't Appeal To All Ages

Rating: 6/10 (27 July 2015)

I'll start off by saying I'm 14. I went to see it with my sister and family friends. The cinema was packed with very young kids, and i think they loved it a lot more than me.
I liked Despicable Me and i loved Despicable Me 2. But Minions fell short without Gru and the comedy was far from original. It was mainly just cheap laughs of a Minion falling over or flying into a pole or pulling funny faces. These pleased the young ones who were screaming in laughter but for the older ones it just felt silly. I gave it a 6 though because there were a few moments that made me laugh in my head and the story wasn't awful. The start was one of the best bits, showing the minions journey through the ages. It went downhill from start to end.
If its a rainy day and your 5 year old child is bored then sacrifice two hours and watch this film: its not unbearable. They will love it, its just it doesn't appeal all ages like the best animated films do like Up and Inside Out. I wouldn't recommend it to my friends but i also wouldn't say avoid it.
