Please stop making this garbage... This is nothing but stupid silly sounds and mindless slapstick meant to keep children hypnotized for an hour or so. The minions are never funny and these movies are absolutely pathetic.

Minion fan-servicing piece of trash.

Completely forgettable, the story is absolutely garbage, and the jokes are lame and sub-par. Nicely animated tough, but that's all. The sad, sad thing is that Metacritic doesn't do anything against fakeMinion fan-servicing piece of trash.

Not as bad as I thought it was going to be but still not very good either. It’s definitely very enjoyable though. There isn’t a ton to say about this movie as it’s a stereotypical Illumination movie.

There isn’t a ton to say about this movie as it’s a stereotypical Illumination movie. Animation is weird, voice acting is fine, humor isn’t that funny, and feels like like a cash grab which a decent majority of this film feels like. This is one of the “better” movies that Illumination has put out though. There are some moments here where the film is actually kind of funny. The airplane stuff would work as a fun short film if they released that on its own. The film got a ton more unintentional laughs out of me though. I was laughing at how stupid the film was which definitely wasn’t the intention of the studio but it definitely did make the film much more enjoyable that way. Its got some fun moments sprinkled ever so sparingly thrown out but it’s not worth watching the whole thing for it as when the film isn’t on the minions then it’s dreadful. I don’t care about Gru or the villains at all and their dynamic is incredibly weak and Alan Arkin’s voice acting for Wild Knuckles is dreadful. The story itself is incredibly boring as well but thankfully the somewhat funny moments here and there don’t make it a chore to sit through. Plus the film is short anyway so it won’t feel too long. If you really want to watch this film then definitely watch it with friends as it will be 100 times more fun watching it that way than watching it by yourself.… Expand

Another once great animation franchise is bee destroyed by another terrible and pointless sequel // prequel made for cash in reasons.

First three despicaple me films were awesome and were even good for adult audience. Sadly after part 3Another once great animation franchise is bee destroyed by another terrible and pointless sequel // prequel made for cash in reasons.

First three despicaple me films were awesome and were even good for adult audience.

Sadly after part 3 decline begun first with the silly minions stand alone film and now with this terrible prequel.

What can i say ?

Stick to the first 3 films and avoid all the rest.

Grade F.… Expand

Very cute, but another instance of a movie studio taking a successful franchise and stuffing politics into a sequel hoping people will tolerate it.

The first Minions move seems like that it is going that direction, only to have the most awesome supervillain in the world, who is a woman, get her butt kicked by a tiny male child at the end.
Pretty much the same punchline is at the end of this movie, but apparently they had to stuff wokeness into the rest of the film to compensate. So both the end AND the beginning of the last sentence are reasons why this movie is 'no good' on the whole.… Expand
