such a disappointment.

Rating: 2/10 (27 February 2016)

for a few days now i've been feeling very "blah", and felt in need of watching some lighthearted feel-good comedies. when typing in "happy feeling movies" into google, "Despicable Me" popped up. i was never interested in watching it, but decided to give it a try, i laughed for the first time in days.
so went on and watched "Despicable Me 2", it was just as good, something you don't normally find in sequels.
so it was great excitement that i decided to watch "Minions, The Movie"...i was never so bored. my depression that the first two movies killed off, was brought back in full force after watching this travesty of a comedy. aside from the first 10 minutes where the "history" of the minions is shown, the rest of the movie was a bore, in fact the only thing that i enjoyed of the movie was the soundtrack, and the Beatles trek across Abbey Rd (even though it was predictable).
the rest of the movie lacked the heart, the comedy, and even actual dialogue (having the minions jabber to one another in "minionese" does not a screenplay make), aside from Sandra Bullock's over compensated voice-over, it felt as if this could have been made as a silent film, maybe the slapstick comedy might have been funnier, if the gibberish wasn't heard.
so if you want to hear jobber jabber and baby talk, with good background music every 15 minutes, this movie is for you, other than that, just get the 60's greatest hits on CD, and save your aspirin for a later date.
