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.

Have you ever watched the Star Wars Holiday Special? This is basically Despicable Me's version but except for Wookies, it's minions.

Minions: Movie Review.Minions is an enjoyable entertaining animation movie for kids as well as for adults too, with its funny comedy scenes it will keep making adults laugh and smile too. 3D Aspect of the Minions Movie is great and and Animation is fantastic. The characterization of Minions are excellent and Visual Effects (CGI, VFX) are brilliant. The movie looks very good visually. I watched the movie in 3D and one can literally feel all the little Minions jumping out of the screen.The performance of Pierre Coffin (as the Minions), is must watch and it is positive point of the movie. Its entertaining and worth watching. Minions is directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda. The directors have done a satisfactory jobs in creating a good prequel/spin off Minions Movie. Their creative vision of crafting those awesome and amazing little Minions is amazing. The performances are good. Pierre Coffin as the Minions is great. The character of Sandra Bullock as Scarlett Overkill is OK, but not up too the mark, somehow it misses the perfection mark. Michael Keaton and Geoffrey Rush as supporting characters were OK, and the rest of the cast characters were good but sidelined.Minions has lots of flaws too. The story plot structure is bad, the script and screenplay seems to be underwhelming at certain times and there is no strong support to the movie from the story point of view. There are lots of unnecessary and underdeveloped characters, especially the character of Scarlett Overkill (Sandra Bullock) is very under utilized and does not feel too good. The story plot line is somewhat weak, its like anything is happening anytime without any proper effect.Minions are delight to watch. I enjoyed the movie, its a good cinema time for your kids and maybe for you too.(Please Note: That This Review represent only my professional point of view and my personal honest opinion about the film, and does not represent others. Thank You).

Minions is a mediocre film. It has a decent plot, but the film completely wastes any potential it could've had. The problem I had with it is that the film revolves around a side character that was fun in small doses, but annoying in long ones. For example, the first Despicable Me film was a great flick. It had a good plot, good characters, and good writing. The minions were in it, but they were funny and only shown in short bits. However, here, they're on the screen all the time and the jokes with them aren't really all that funny. Overall, this film is great for kids, but adults may want to stray away from it.
