VIDEO: Minions review
The minions were a highlight of the original Despicable Me. They were then given more screen time in, and made more integral to the plot of, Despicable Me 2. And yet again, that decision was merited. Unfortunately, as Minions shows, sometimes you can have too much of a good thing.
Despite their childlike wonderment, the minions have been on the earth far longer than you or I. They live with one purpose: to serve the most evil villain. The opening minions through history sequence is a delight, showing the minions assisting whatever fish was gobbling up the others before lending their services to the likes of Dracula and Napoleon. Don’t worry; it never gets as dark as the grown-ups in the audience may be imagining.
