Could have been awesome...it wasn't!

Rating: 5/10 (30 October 2015)

Was looking forward to this since I saw trailers for it appearing on my FB last year. I am a big fan of Despicable Me, and was hoping for more of the same, just feature length awesomeness of the minions! The begging was good, showing promise, liking the back story, going to be hilarious for sure! Then it kind of just... didn't get all that funny, what it did get was cute, and caring, and not really what i was seeing from the other movies. Don't get me wrong, this is great to see for the kids, look after the little guy, care for him etc.
What i liked about the minions was the chaos they caused and inflicted on each other, their seeming invincibility and no fear "whatever" attitude from the other movies. This was hilarious and made great comic relief, the extras from the blue ray of despicable me highlighted it more, hence my excitement for this movie.
Alas, it just didn't work for me, could have been so good, but turned out just average, their usual shenanigans dulled by a lackluster story line, and comedy that simply wasn't as good as before.
Ho hum...
