A film I was looking forward to from the time it was announced, it disappointed me in no uncertain terms.

The minions are their adorable self, keeping a 91 minute feature film alive with everything they have got. It’s the supporting characters and the plot which didn’t hold our attention.

Cliché presentation of the British way of life and a weak motive made the proceedings dull. The villian lacked dimension, was a caricature. The lack of a distinct personality, Scarlet Overkill didn’t need Sandra Bullock’s voice.

Overall the film wasn’t memorable, though the franchise and merchandise surely is.

2/5
