About this movie

The story of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters—from T. rex to Napoleon—the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression. But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he—alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob—ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award® winner Sandra Bullock), the world’s first-ever female super-villain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind...from annihilation. Featuring a soundtrack of hit music from the ’60s that still permeates our culture today, Minions is produced by Illumination’s Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy, and is directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda. Brian Lynch has written the screenplay for the 3D-CG comedy adventure, and Chris Renaud serves as executive producer of the film. www.minionnation.net (Original Title - Minions) - 2015 Universal Studios.

I liked the Minions from the first moment I encountered them in "Despicable Me". This film is great fun, the music is superb (I know - I was there for all of it) and it puts entertainment back into cinemas. I know that it is meant for children but there are enough jokes (verbal and visual) to keep the majority of us oldies entertained as well. As far as I am concerned it sets the scene for a possible "Despicable Me III" which I await with bated breath.

OK so we have seen the minions since 2010 with Despicable me. But then we see that they get there own movie it's going to be bad! And yep it turned out pretty bad. Just stick with Despicable me!

Kids loved it. I tolerated it (at best). Doesn't really have the charm or warmth of the Despicable Me films - because those films are all about the relationships between the characters. This is about some minions who have a mildly diverting adventure and say Banana a lot.
