Minions

Minions

Rating 3 out of 10

I loved Despicable Me movies 1&2.  Both made my top ten lists the years they were released.  Unlike many I was not one that was amused by the little yellow Minions and had no plans to see this movie.  Sometimes you see a movie because the person you are with really wants to see it and there is nothing else out there.  This was that case.  If you are amused by the pill shaped yellow things that speak some sort of weird mumbling then you will enjoy this movie.  For me it was like watching someone scratch on a chalkboard for ninety one minutes.

This movie is intended to be a prequel to the Despicable Me movies.  It seems Minions just came walking out of the sea back in the dinosaur days.  They do not age or change in appearance.  Their goal is to find an evil person or thing to follow.  The movie follows along the years where they find despicable people along the way from a T-Rex to Napoleon.  They finally find the queen of evil in England who plans to steal the crown thinking somehow that would make her queen.

The plot is very secondary.  Again it goes back to if you think they are cute you will enjoy this movie.    I would have rather worked in the yard.
