So, we already have two movies related to these small cylendrical yellow colored organisms named Despicable me and its sequel.
Now, the producer and director decided to bring in something which would give some meaning to their existence. And thus, they went into making The Minions. They tell how they were present way before the existence of humans and were always in the search for a very evil boss whom they all can serve.
One thing which I should definitely tell you is that while watching this movie, I'll recommend using your brain to the least extend. Because, we have a scene where 3 of the minions roam around the streets of New York and no one cares about that happening! They just walk normally as if nothing ever happened!
So, yeah, basically, you should definitely give up on the Brain part. Other than that, at certain points, you would consider yourself watching a movie in another language because, of course, minions have their own language and the film was supposed to be that way!
Overall, cinematography- Superb, Story- Nice, Cuteness- Level: Minions! A good pass time overall and I loved the thing that they included the part where the Minions actually meet Gru who basically, is our hero from the Despicable Me movie!
