The Minions, small yellow creatures with a penchant for serving evil masters, have been around since the beginning of time.

Critical Reception

Minions received mixed reviews from critics, with many finding the humor and animation appealing, particularly for younger audiences. However, some critics felt the film lacked the charm and originality of its predecessors, with the plot being somewhat thin and relying heavily on the Minions' antics.

What Reviewers Say

  • The Minions themselves are the undeniable stars, providing ample slapstick humor and a unique brand of gibberish-filled dialogue that delights younger viewers.

The minions are a nice idea and the animation and London recreation is really good, but that's about it. The script is boring and the jokes not really funny.
