How can you not like these little guys?

Rating: 8/10 (16 July 2015)

It honestly was just a matter of time before this film happened because those little guys called the Minions quickly inserted themselves into pop culture and took the world by storm. What's not to like about them? They're adorable, they like bananas (because they're delicious), and they're funny. I really enjoyed their escapades in "Despicable Me" and its sequel so, needless to say, I was all aboard for this film.
The story of Minions is a funny and entertaining one that is created with great voice acting and fantastic animation. Additionally, the film has just an absolutely fantastic soundtrack filled with killer tracks from the late 60s rather than the bubblegum pop from the "Despicable Me" films. The only thing I really didn't care for was how underwhelming Scarlett Overkill was as not just a character but how she was voiced by Sandra Bullock. She's not overtly terrible as the antagonist but she doesn't feel like she's giving her all to the role. This sorta mirrors how the character doesn't feel as threatening as she could be or as larger-than-life as she needed to be.
My complaints are minor for this one because, at the end of it all, it's still pretty fun and entertaining. This movie could have easily been just phoned it and slapped together with some cheap jokes and a presentation that would make it feel like it was straight from the bargain bin but the final product was a very funny movie that delivers a very cute and satisfying Minions adventure.
