![]() He even seems to know each of them by name.Īs a rambunctious bunch of simple-minded homunculi, Minions are a similar size and shape but have unique features to tell them apart, such as height, number of eyes, roundness or secondary features such as hair, eye/pupil size or clothing. He genuinely seems to like them and shows appreciation for their hard work and support, only having to be strict with them a few times. Unlike most other criminal masterminds and their usual doctrine of abusing their henchmen, Gru gets along famously with the minions. ![]() Minions have standard English names (see below). They can be pesky when they are doing weird interactions with other people, animals, or objects they are also famous for their gibberish-speaking language. They are impulsive creatures with little self-control, but with a wide-eyed wonder and odd innocence that endears them to viewers and makes them relatable. (left to right) Jerry, Kevin, Stuart, Dave and Carl having an ice cream party from Despicable Me 2 All the minions are supporting characters in Minions (with the exception of Kevin, Stuart, and Bob), major characters in Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2 and supporting characters in Despicable Me 3 (with the exception of Mel). They are much childish in some ways, yet they seem to be very intelligent in certain aspects. Frequently, they speak in an incomprehensible language, called Minionese, occasionally switching to English. They bring much of the comedy in the film, and they are known as the scene-stealer of the movie. They are Major Characters in the Despicable Me series, as well as the official mascots for Illumination. My Rating: 6.2/10.The Minions are small, yellow, capsule shaped creatures, who have one or two eyes. It's hard to believe this franchise is still going, and how it still manages to propel itself forward, but in this age of commercialization and franchises- Minions the Rise of Gru can be more tolerable than most. Its an uneven little flick but its use of colorful visuals and fun characters make it decent enough for a pleasant experience- and certainly trumps the third Despicable Me film and latest franchise release before this one almost 5 years ago. I don't know, its entertaining it has its moments and I found some fun in it. ![]() Its plot is truly all over the place, much like the first film, and its focus on characters feels very divided- as well as its focus on future characters come to be in the franchise considering and reminding the audience how this is a prequel- in case the 70's vibes wouldn't tell you otherwise. Kid Gru is also a fun and charming lead, and i'll be darned if the minions silly gags didn't charm me from time to time and even earn a chuckle or two (the airplane scene most of all). So what is it about this film that makes it worth watching? Well the animation for one is absolutely fantastic, gorgeous visuals that are easily the best to ever come out of Illumination in their company's entire run. Although both films are flawed, Minions had a very clear although frantic vision set in mind for ts characters- and never felt like a combination of two completely different films like this one did. A lot of people, critics included, bash the 2015 film Minions for a lack of a true plot among many other things- but in my personal opinion I actually enjoyed the first minions movie and may even find it better than this one. It may feel in total like this franchise is running out of steam, or at least fresh and creative ideas- but Minions The Rise of Gru does manage to be decently entertaining and charming enough to be worth at least a one time watch.
