The voice cast deserved much better and didn't shine as much as they ought to, but Geoffrey Rush is a thoughtful narrator, John Hamm has some fun and Pierre Coffin does well characterising the minions. There is a hilarious opening sequence, which is the funniest Minions ever gets and John Hamm does provide a few amusing(but not much more than that) moments. The killer classic rock soundtrack is another plus, it is very catchy and upbeat while not being too loud or obtrusive. Apart from some awkward human character designs, the animation is excellent, with its rich bright colours, meticulously detailed backgrounds and imaginative visuals. However, what promise the trailer had wasn't really there in the film itself. The first two Despicable Me films were fantastic family fun, so while the idea for a prequel starring the minions did strike me as pointless the trailer was promising. Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 4 / 10 Very disappointing and unnecessary prequel Is it as wonderful as the first film, "Despicable Me"? No.but it is fun, very clever and worth seeing in a 'just turn your brain off and enjoy' sort of way. And, this is great because mostly the film just involves the characters being funny and cute.especially in the first half hour or so. So, when it's just the Minions being goofy, the film is lovable and fun. Here, however, it's mostly Minions and their antics.but once again, the film does bog down when it comes to the plot involving Scarlet Overkill.mostly because it's NOT fun. This is because in "Despicable Me 2", the film was great whenever the Minions were there but ground to a boring halt whenever the plot reared its ugly head. I enjoyed "Minions" and think it's a big step up from the previous installment of "Despicable Me".
Then, the movie switches to 1968 and their music-filled quest to become sidekicks for the evil Scarlet Overkill as well as ruling the UK. In this third installment of the "Despicable Me" franchise, the Minions are in search of a master and the first portion of the film is a look back through history of their trying to find one. Reviewed by MartinHafer 7 / 10 Lots of fun but every time the Scarlet Overkill plot kicks in, the film slows to a grinding halt.
