I was expecting a lot from this film. A lot. And after 1 hour and 28 minutes, I felt like it had just wasted my damn time. I don't know what Illumination was thinking when they made this but oh my- it is something horrible. Really horrible. First off, the title isn't even accurate to the storyline. I mean, it's about Gru trying to join a group of super villains and NOT all about the minions. But apparently...it is??? Second, the character development was awful. In the end, the characters in there didn't even seem like they were even part of the story. To me, it just seemed like a waste of space to even have them in there at all. Third and finally, the storyline...it was by far, the worst possible thing in there. At the end of the day however, its just a pathetic movie, sugarcoated with colourful animation and acceptable gags (if they are even relevant now). Oh, and the hype for it being a worthwhile movie was equally just horrid as well.
I don't think I need to say anything else. The film...it speaks for itself.
Never in a million years will I watch this rubbish again. Ever.
