Minions [Blu-ray]

funny

Great movie, especially in 4k.

I saw this movie 5 times, both 3-D and regular (not convinced 3-D was worth the extra $$) and pre-ordered it. Despite some inconsistencies with Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2 (such as why they speak so much more clearly, although still Minionese; and age progression of Gru), it's hard not to like the movie. (Love the scenes in the dungeon...) When it's not downright hilarious, the Minions' indomitable spirit on their quest is, at the very least, endearing.The 'violence' some have decried is no worse than that of the cartoons I grew up with - Tom & Jerry, Wyle E. Coyote & Roadrunner, Bugs Bunny, et al. - and the diatribe about it being Hollywood propaganda is over-reaching. If one looks hard enough, everything in the media, regardless of format or origin, might be categorized as propaganda.For those who say there is no storyline, did you catch a glimpse of a young Gru, his mom, and Dr. Nefario at Villain Con? As a prequel, maybe it's not as fabulous an 'origin' story as one might like. But there are enough humorous moments and quotables to make it a keeper. It opens up possibilities for other stories on how they got from London up to the point of the first Despicable Me film (I hear dissidents groaning - okay, don't go to any more Minion-related movies).Last, but not least: how many people stayed through the end credits and then stayed longer? There are essentially two "encores", but if you don't stick around until the very absolute end, you'll miss them.

Cute and funny movie. Great for kids and enjoyable for adults and teenagers.

When the minions said "Kumbaya paploy la cucaracha" I teared up. I've never before heard such raw emotion and character portrayed in the way they did so for Kevin, Bob, Stuart, Edward, Dave, John, Chad, Brad, Otto, Norbert, Jerry, Carl, Tim, Mark, Phil, Jon, Josh, Steve, Donny, Ken, Mike, Paul, Lance, Jorge, Tom, Darwin, and Mel. Kevin is my personal favorite, he embodies leadership to highest level. The story of sacrifice and adventure for the greater good of their tribe reminds me of the story of Jesus Christ. I think the minions are modern messiahs through their message of hope, love, and bananas.This movie was originally thought to be a random spin-off of the main series Despicable Me however in my humble opinion this has far surpassed its origin and has become its own phenomenon. I for one am excited for what the future holds for the MCU (Minions Cinematic Universe).

I guess this counts a lot.

Who doesn't love the minions! Laughable, loveable, silly and yellow! Get ready for some serious laughter

Great movie for the whole family to enjoy I highly recommend
