Milking/Stretching a Franchise With A Poor Story, Insipid Comedy and Forcefully Injected 'Cuteness'

Rating: 1/10 (14 September 2015)

Long story short, the movie is about how the minions started out and came to work for Gru. For everyone who liked despicable me and were mildly disappointed by Despicable me 2, watch your expectations and emotions associated with the franchise go down the drain in the latest edition designed mainly to get you to buy more minion merchandise for your kids because they won't stop crying in the 'kids' aisle.
Remember the gibberish from the minions that you used to find cute in the movies that were mostly in English? Get ready to labor through 90 minutes of it while trying to understand a convoluted plot with the texture of swiss cheese, ignoring obvious plot holes and conveniences and trying to force out an 'awwwww' between gritted teeth as you try hard not to yawn or beat yourself up for wasting your money on this movie. The acting is hard to focus on because of all the other boring and predictable influences in the movie. Enjoy seeing the minions in adorably mortal peril knowing full well that they're going to make it, having seen them in the initial movies.
Plot: 1/10 Acting: who cares? Cuteness: 3/10 Comedy: worse than dad jokes Animation: what about it? Overall: 1/10
P.S. stay home, buy a minions plushie and burn the $6 you'll spend on the movie instead. It's guaranteed to be a better experience than actually watching the movie.
