John and I recently saw The Minion movie. Mainly because I loooove Despicable Me (it's one of my favorite children's movies). While it was entertaining, it was a bit of a let down. I just don't think the minions were enough of a main character. Their evil counterpart, Scarlet Overkill, was just a bit too much for my taste. Gru has a lovable side and the girls really soften his harsh edges. Scarlet didn't have any of that...she was just mean and selfish...and that is pretty much it. Overall, I'd recommend this if you're a fan of the series, but it's not much of a standalone film.

I haven't seen any of the minion movies (i know this is crazy because i have a 5 and a 7 yr old). My kids have, of course. I am sure my kids would enjoy this, they don't care if it is a stand-alone of now.
ReplyDeleteYou should watch the first two! They're great!
DeleteSorry to hear you were disappointed!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was still a good movie, just not as good as Despicable Me!
DeleteI LOVE Despicable Me! I have maybe watched it a million times. I had my husband take me out to see this movie the day it was released with a couple of friends. I thought it was super cute and funny, but not as good as Despicable Me. However, I will still be watching it a whole bunch of times once I own it on DVD. hahaha
