![]() Plus, understood and loved across generations without proper subtitles, minions arguably can be the stars of their own show, after being scene-stealer in previous installments.Īnother advice if you have yet to watch it but eager to: don’t go beyond the first trailer. Coming in with low expectations and lots of doubts arguably helps since it easily surpasses the bar. ![]() ![]() Don’t overthink it and you’ll find it immensely amusing and enjoyable. ![]() Too bad there is no standout song or memorable bits from this movie i certainly would love it if it’s more than just fluff, but then it’s minions we’re talking about. Admittedly, the plot is rather simple and unexceptional but its humor is right up my alley that i found myself grinning and laughing throughout the runtime (a rare case i must add). In fact, they cherish one another and are solid. Here, i realize that while they may be petty and vain but not bratty or malevolent as the franchise led us to believe. The mission isn’t ambitious as say, Gru’s moon-heisting project, and is quickly completed thanks to the minions’ bumbling acts and sheer luck. The three light up upon hearing about super villain Scarlet Overkill (voiced by Sandra Bullock) and set off to Orlando to be her new recruits. Soon, they’re handed a mission to steal Queen Elizabeth II’s crown. The sequences are laugh-inducing but quite tragic if you view it from another perspective =xĭespite the blunder upon blunder made, they readily moves on because being master-less expends their will to live. One tall minion Kevin takes the lead and goes out of their comfort zone to find the mob a new despicable master to serve, accompanied by ukulele-wielding one-eyed Stuart and overenthused heterochromatic Bob due to lack of other volunteers, haha. They easily jump from one master to another and are constantly in search of a new one not because they aren’t loyal or outlive the previous ones but because they’re so accident-prone that their masters were fatally harmed in the process. Despite only picking up a word or two, i am invariably fascinated by their rapid-fire mumbo jumbo. Their hundred-million-years existence also explains why their gibberish is a combination of many languages yet remains largely undecipherable. Also covered in the movie are little details like when they started become obsessed with banana or decided to go with those blue denim overalls as their signature uniform. All this time, they’ve been consistently serving the biggest baddest villain - “boss” in their lingo - they can find, from the time dinosaurs still roamed the earth to the era where men take control, set 48 years B.G. ![]() Turns out, Minions chronicles their history, which begins when they were as small as a single cute-looking cell until the point they cross path with their current master, Gru. Nefario’s brainchild, are they?) and this spin-off shall put an end to that mystery. Still, that doesn’t negate my reservations, even if i have been wondering what they are and where they came from (i don’t think they are Dr. How can i say no? See, i’m easy like that. Thing is, this is no Despicable Me 3, this is all about Minions. If you’re equally excited and skeptical about Minions movie because 1) you loved Despicable Me to bits but 2) didn’t feel the same about its sequel and thus 3) wary that this prequel is made just to milk the fame of these wacky yet meany yellow creatures while they’re still universally adored and relevant - as though because the three clips of Minion Madness weren’t enough to sate the frenzy - then we’re on the same boat.īut the next thing we know we’re in the queue to buy ticket(s) to the show… the day it premieres… against our better judgment. ![]()
