A letdown as it is not as exciting.

Rating: 7/10 (17 July 2015)

This is probably one of the most honest opinion about Minions (2015) that you will ever read. As a fan of Despicable Me franchise, I thought it was a letdown as it is not as exciting. I could not get the hype anymore especially when the trailers have already spoiled most of the fun part of the film. (I don't usually watch trailers but I totally regretted it for making this as an exception)
Exactly one month ago when I watch the Minions (2015) in Asia, some of my friends asked me about the animated film such as "Is Minions Nice" and "Do you like it more or less than Despicable Me 1 and 2". My replies to them; whatever I told my friends, are exactly the contents of this movie review.
Honestly, whether it is nice or not, it depends to individuals. As for me, I liked it less compared to Despicable Me. Although it can be enjoyable, ultimately, it is not going to be listed under my favorite animated films. To me, there is nothing new or surprising at all. I am not being mean or extremely critical here but if you know where I am coming from, you would understand.
Another short note, yes, I am aware that this is a spin off, it should be different than the Despicable Me but I thought I could see more of Minions adorable and funny antics...no, I did not laugh much, but I won't deny I did smile a bit watching this. I have seen over one hundred animation the past one year alone and this is my 89th animated review post for my non-stop animated movie marathon by the way so I am not very impressed...
Therefore, if you are not a huge fan of the minions and if you are not that into family films, then there is a high chance that you might not like Minions (2015). Otherwise, you will find this pleasantly enjoyable and for the die-hard fans, it will be the best movie ever as there are many lovable characters throughout the film.
