Disappointed

Rating: 2/10 (26 July 2015)

We were Looking forward to another Despicable Me based movie, but this was awful. The first ten minutes were cute, with a historical look back at the minions evolution through history. Fast forward past this segment and the movie went from promising to awful. The plot gets stuck in the 1960s for the remainder of the film. UGH, no one under 60 could relate to this era, let alone any children. The theater was silent for most of the movie, very few audience responses.
Also the Minions themselves (again past about ten minutes) grew boring and bland from lack of coherent dialogue. They cannot carry a film for this reason, unlike the Penguins from Madagascar. We guess we expected more, but got way less. We will not be adding this to our Blu-Ray collection.
