Saw this today & it was great! Took hubby, daughter & her boyfriend & we all enjoyed it. Love the franchise & this one didn't disappoint!

There's Minions so it's gotta be good.... We found it lacked some cohesion between the storylines (still didn't understand why some Minions had to become superheroes?) and Dr Neferio (my fav) showed up at the end & said hardly anything, which was explained by seeing no Russell Brand in the credits, was a sad moment for the 2 adults watching. A few giggles & hearing Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher" riff being used made up for it....don't feel like it was as good as the others......

This movie with it's brilliant landscape & fine actors was at times, dark, moody & had laughable moments, until you realise it's just about life & death& how it is around the corner, lurking in some cases waiting to take you. The changes that happen, some controlled, some uncontrolled, dealing with what you are given & making the best of it or forcing change & seeing what that brings you were all a part of this well written, filled with metaphors movie & it was when I went home & tried to explain it to someone else, that I realised just how much I got from it. Don't go expecting "In Bruges" but, go see it if you want to understand the connection of life/death/human behaviours in a time where Ireland was struggling with herself. Great acting from a fine cast as well.

Great film about just how easy it was for US housing market to be manipulated by greedy banks & illegal behaviour - worrying that Australia could follow blindly along & have such a terrible economic outcome here too just like we follow everything else US does! Steve Carrell & Christian Bale's acting was superb. Notable mention for Brad Pitt - loved the hair!
