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 teen-age 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 supervillainess ever. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in modern London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind...from annihilation.Minions Reviews;
A treat for the whole family!
My wife and I went to
see this, we loved both Despicable Me's, and had high hopes for the
movie. Thankfully, while it wasn't as good as either Despicable Me's, it
was a good movie. It is very kid oriented, duh, so don't go thinking
you're going to get an in-depth plot line. The minions are corny and
their antics are as slapstick as they are in Despicable Me. While you
would think that it would be difficult to relate to, due to them not
speaking English, it's not a problem. They did a great job at making
everything understandable through context, even for a small child. The
biggest issue I had was in the form of Scarlet Overkill. I didn't care
for the angle they chose to go with her. I'll leave it at that so I
don't include any spoilers. If you have small children, they will love
every minute of this movie. Minions is simple, fun, and safe for
anyone!!!
