Grade: C-

In what would be something I was going to anticipate in watching after seeing the first "Despicable Me", I feel that the prequel to that one and knowing how the Minions truly existed was not what I expected at all, and the backstory in which the Minions have to articlulate is so bothersome as they are the main characters. I would have expected too for them to be translated too and for the individuals meeting them to at least have them speak understandable English in the American release, but the human characters understanding "Minionese" and not speaking it and the Minions vice versa for English does not make sense. Although one can be blind when Despicable Me is aired-at least the Minions have less exposure to the outside world than when you watch this movie-it can make sense to have them secluded. But the premise as they all want to serve since the beginning of time for them makes no sense-it would be that they would be like they would behave like they have no individuality and that they are basically "brain dead, but alive", if you know what I mean. You can see it too as they touch too much and get into trouble TOO often, and that they would behave like someone with a mental condition or retarded. Butlers and maids would be better than these Minions, and I can say that if Mr. Bean from Britain were one, he would be more allowable to be on the screens for any age than these characters that look like Tic-Tacs (Heck, there is a Minion themed one with the flavor of banana back then!: https://www.theshelbyreport.com/201.....opular-demand/ ) I know, they are supposed to have their problem solved to serve someone, but even if there is that goal, there was more problems arriving in the story that the whole plot gets convoluted. I did have a few laughs, especially the subliminal thing that MACRO Kevin did that was a riot...( ), but overall, although there was praise, the story of them did not have a resounding ending-maybe I did not see, but if I did, it was definitely not memorable. I can get that they can be friendly, but they can be TOO friendly, especially when they just want to be doing things under someone that is God to them. Anyhow, if it were, I would have compared them to the friendly and sympathetic Canadians that one may meet, but they are MUCH more intelligent and can make an erudite and worthwhile conversation than having to talk to a Minion.
It feels that the prequel would be a downfall to the Despicable Me franchise- when I saw Rotten Tomatoes, I did agree that the viewers did not like it: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/minions . It did cause a bearing on Despicable Me 3, and if it weren't for Minions, DM3 would not have gotten this score: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/despicable_me_3 ; but seeing the plot on Wikipedia, I have a bad feeling that what went on in Minions does rub off on DM3. I partly saw DM2, but was not so in tune to want to watch the whole thing. I did have a chance to see it again, but because of Minions, I feel no interest anymore to keep with the DM franchise-it totally ruined my interest, and upcoming, there will be sequel TO THE PREQUEL: Minions-The Rise of Gru: https://www.universalpictures.com/m.....he-rise-of-gru . I had been watching off and on Minions 1- if it were that it was a very good movie, I would have stayed through all of the movie and even rush fast doing something during the commercials and be just in time to watch more-that did not happen when it was aired on NBC. If it is that I'm forced to watch Minions 2, I would not see if it were on TV-with what happened to Minions 1, I won't bother seeing the next one; Added, I won't have interest in seeing the theatrical release full-version one. The movie is not worthwhile and has practically became a cancer to the franchise. Since the next movie is going to come around, I feel that it could be soon that Universal will lose profit on this one with the adults. The way that would save them is children watching the movie for the first time, but I will have doubts that if they see Minions, and the upcoming one, they may see them only once-not like Zootopia where I did see it twice in theaters-it was that good. It won't happen to any of the DM series, I'm sure....
# Coming soon, I will see if the old timer Rock-a-Doodle movie is good. I will rate it soon as I have seen it on streaming on Roku's channel TCL : https://channelstore.roku.com/detai.....-videos-gratis
