Could have been more planned out.

Rating: 5/10 (13 July 2015)

The Minions movie is somewhat humorous, but that's about it.
Being a fan of the first two films I had high expectations for this one. I am a big fan of the minions and thought this would be a refreshing treat. I don't go to watch movies in theaters much, so I decided to watch it on YouTube before it was taken down.
Long story short, our lovable minions are looking for an evil leader to tag along with. After several mishaps with apparent baddies, our minions seem to lose hope. One of the minions decides to travel the world looking for a leader to call their own. Three of them Bob, Stuart and Kevin go around the world looking for a villain. Along the way they will find one. She tries to get them to steal Queen Elizabeth's crown. So the minions set off to follow through with her evil plan.
What I didn't like about the movie is that there is too much dirty humor involved. Since when do we have to be dirty to be entertained? It may fly over kids heads but most kids are smart and they will understand it soon enough if they already don't. The film also has too many pop culture references. Okay I got most of them and liked most of them as well but just too much for one movie in my opinion. I can imagine how much royalties are being paid out to the artists. Also the characters lacked development and most were unfunny and boring. Personally my favorite parts of the film were when; the minions hypnotize the guards and have them singing the song "Hair". And when Gru showed up at the end of the film.
So basically my advice is, be ready for a movie that does not hold the charm of the first two. It's not a total bust but I expected more. It seems that most sequels are made for profit only and are light on plot. By the way for those of you who don't know, Ice Age 5 is supposed to be due in theaters next year.
Side note: The Moon Landing scene was extremely offensive!
