Minions - small but mighty

Rating: 5/10 (11 August 2015)

After stealing the Despicable Me films from the sidelines it was only a matter of time before those little minions got their own film. And here it is.
Honestly, I know lots of people have been harsh on this film but if you take it for what it is it's a lot of fun and there are some funny moments.
The minions are as quite as ever and what's nice is that we start to see more about their individual personalities. The problem with prequels is that it is difficult to create conflict because as an audience we know that the minions are going to be fine and end up working for Gru. However the creative powers behind this film have made it so that this film both stands alone and also fits within the Despicable Me canon.
The only thing I would say is that the plot felt a little drawn out at the end. The bad guy (or bad girl) simply wouldn't be beaten! We could have done with 10 minutes less chase scenes perhaps.
