I don‘t like giving a bad review, and usually i can always find something that was ok or shows people putting thought into a film, but this film was so bad that we actually left after half an hour. My review is therefore based on just the first half an hour of the movie, but according to the other comments who feel more genuine it doesnt seem to pick up anyway.
Went in with medium expectations and liked most of the other parts of the franchise. I wasnt even expecting to have my mind blown, but since the trailer looked quite funny, all I was hoping for was a light hearted film with a few really funny moments and a mildly entertaining storyline. Usually Illumination have managed to make „kids films“ quite enjoyable for adults, too, but within the first few minutes and the start of the ridiculous cockroach storyline, the stupid and super flat jokes I realised that this film was purely made for 6 year olds at best. Even the minion scenes felt like cheap, slapstick humour written by toddlers.
This is only the second time I ever left cinema in the middle of a film, but it was truly so bad that we couldnt deal with cringing anymore…
