Gus Arnold This biopic tells the story of the Minions on their journey to find their evil leader. You would definitely believe that this is a documentary if you didn't know otherwise, the acting is on par with films such as Citizen Kane and The Godfather. And the (true) story is also quite interesting, though it may be hard to follow if you are a non-intellectual. Overall this is one of the greatest films of all time and I would definitely suggest it to anybody who is able to follow the mature and complex story.

Michael Ledo Minions is a prequel to the "Despicable Me" series. It takes place in 1968 and does not bogart on 60's references or music. As an adult familiar with the era, I most likely enjoyed the film more than the kids who were clueless to most of the music and references.The Minions seek out Scarlett Overkill voiced by Sandra Bullock, the top villain of the era. She wants the crown of England and tasks 3 Minions to obtain it for her. As always with Minions, the film becomes a comedy of errors, some predictable, some not.It seems "okay" is a universal word.

invisibleunicornninja This isn't a movie. This is a product. This is 91 minutes of filler designed to sell toys. Most of the "jokes" are loud, obnoxious, and lazy. This commercial doesn't get anywhere near as absurdist as it thinks it is. The plot is virtually nonexistent. The only thing that's enjoyable about this thing is all the violence and bright colors. Seriously, there is a ton of violence in this product. A lot of people die. Sure, it adds stakes to the "plot" but its not that appropriate for children. This product is not worth watching.

sddavis63 The story is simple - too simple, in fact. Basically, the minions are looking for an evil master, because apparently that's what they've evolved to do from the beginning of time - serve the most evil master they can find. So we spend an hour and a half that we'll never get back watching them trying to find their appropriately evil master.Sure. It's cute. So cute, in fact, that it comes across as almost a kiddie movie. Which is completely unlike the "Despicable Me" movies, which were enjoyable to people of all ages. But in those movies, the story was driven not by the minions, but by the evil Gru - who made things a lot of fun and added a touch of humanity and even emotion to the story. But basically in this, it's the minions. Yes, there's Scarlet Overkill - but did anybody really take Scarlet Overkill seriously as an evil super-villain? It's certainly possible to get a few chuckles out of the minions playing around and being silly - but it wears pretty thin after about the first 15 minutes or so, without any "meat" to go along with it.I confess that this finally put me into a stupor and I nodded off for a little bit - meaning that I actually missed how it was that the minions managed to save England. And I didn't really care. I'm just glad that I did wake up in time to see the best part of the movie - when the minions finally find their true master - the young Gru! (4/10)
