a Mindless Flick

Rating: 5/10 (21 July 2015)

In order to have fun with this movie, you have to shut off your brain COMPLETELY before going in. I did not care about the main story of this movie whatsoever. The plot was really weak and just way too silly. That it is not the minions' fault. Minions themselves were hilarious at times, but they simply cannot carry an entire movie about them. I love the minions, they are great secondary characters, but during the movie I felt like their silly activities, that I adore in small portions, were just getting too repetitive. Even though the movie is only hour and a half long, I was already bored half way through, because of the plot.
Overall, "Minions" is not a terrible movie, and if you are a fan, you will definitely have some fun with it, but don't expect anything like the "Despicable me" movies.
