Too Much Whipped Cream

Rating: 6/10 (4 September 2019)

The Minions in the Despicable Me movies were used perfectly - within moderation and only for embellishment. A side-character is their role for a reason - because their isn't much more of a story beyond that (or at least one worth exploring).
Giving the Minions their own movie is like putting too much whipped cream on a Sundae - too much of one loved added flavor that totally overrides the actual course of the meal. The Minions were the whipped cream that added great flavor to the movies, but making a whole meal out of a topping usually doesn't last long and in the end is not that great of an experience.
