Still funny though much of the funniest stuff has already spoiled through trailers

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2015)

The movie starts with a narration about the minions, how they have existed since long ago, seeking the most evil entity to serve. The change from master to master due to often it's them who cause their master's demise. One day they find themselves isolated in an ice cavern and thrive as a tribe. But as time passes they lose spirit in living because they don't have a master. A minion Kevin decides to go to the outside world to find a master. He gets Stuart and Bob as his companions. They arrive at New York and after some time wandering around they found a secret villain TV channel that announces the Villain Con in Orlando. Hitching a ride with the Nelsons, who turn out to be villains also, the minions reach Villain Con. There they see Scarlet Overkill, then the world's most notorious villain, who turns out to be seeking for a henchman. Bob accidentally wins the contest to become Scarlet's henchman.
The minions follow Scarlet to her castle and Kevin phones his fellow minions to come. She tasks the minions to steal the royal crown from Queen Elizabeth of Britain. With gadgets from Scarlet's husband Herb, the minions succeed in stealing the crown but get caught red handed so they run from capture, until Bob accidentally releases the sword in the stone from the Excalibur legends. Thus Bob is crowned king. Scarlet is infuriated by this and visits the minions. They instead happily give the crown and the kingship to Scarlet. But Scarlet instead sends them to a torture chamber. But somehow the minions can't be killed by the torture equipments and they sneak back into Scarlet's coronation ceremony to apologize. But again their will don't as well as their deeds, as instead the crash an ancient chandelier onto Scarlet's head. Scarlet sends the other villains from Villain Con after the minions. Stuart and Bob get captured.
Kevin escapes and stumbles into Herb's secret weapon, which transforms him into a gigantic minion. He saves Stuart and Bob while battling Scarlet, while the rest of the minions arrive. Kevin swallows Scarlet's rocket but prevents her to escape, blowing her up and returning Kevin to his size. Kevin, Stuart and Bob are rewarded by the Queen. But Scarlet returns and steals the crown, only to be stopped by young Gru, who takes the crown and gains the minions as his servants.
The story feels like just another children's animation, a group of kids or youngsters going on an adventure to help their community. The thing is, even the most basic concept of the movie is actually a perverted version of a good story for children. In this movie we find the actual purpose of the adventure is to find the most evil entity to serve, which is not the thing one would teach his/her kids.
It then becomes obvious of how the movie gains interest through those publicity linking the franchise with the Illuminati. For me it's even funnier since all those signs appeared long before sine Disney animations. The thing is those who link the movie to Illuminati had already been exposed to the subliminal works altogether that it rang a bell in their minds and triggered them to publish. For me the movie is just another entertainment, for readied minds, mind you. I think it's okay to take kids to see the movie, but as soon as they start their school years, parents should really start to teach them to beware of those subliminals.
Back to the movie, I really like how the script retains the overall crazy attitude of the minions. All those goofy stuff are really funny indeed, that it will crack your laugh as soon as the movie picks up it's narration. The thing is many of the movie's comedies has been badly spoiled by those many trailers dated from as early as last December. And the funny stuff that's not in the trailers couldn't really top those which are.
Well Minions (2015) deserves a meager 7 out of 10 score from me, and a recommendation. A guaranteed laugh throughout is what you'll get throughout this movie. Thus this movie isn't really just for kids as the comedies appeal more to grown ups.
