Minions:far from despicable.

Rating: 3/10 (26 August 2015)

I so wanted this to work...
The trailer got me all excited and I realize most of the funny bits are in those 2 to 3 minutes.There is some story and background to the minions but you get the feeling you all saw it before in better animated movies.Especially the first 20 minutes felt like a "penguins" rip off with the narrating and documentary style of filming.
This movie lacks the fun of both of the despicable films. Scarlett Overkill is a fading shadow compared to Gru and her relation to the minions is just not that interesting.And when I say minions I only mean 3 because the rest is being depressed on Antartica.
For now the franchise is severely damaged and it makes me wonder if they're ever gonna make a despicable 3. I hope they recover from this or at least make notes to not do this again. But...knowing Hollywood....it would require a small miracle.
I hope Gru D. will say...it takes a nation of minions to hold me back.
D.M.3. in your face.
