I really didn't like any of the human characters and thought they left the minions hanging. That said there is still fun to be had. That opening segment with Geoffrey Rush narrating is hilarious!keith71_98https://www.blogger.com/profile/07815219499754051198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-55019681928751320152015-08-06T17:03:44.348-04:002015-08-06T17:03:44.348-04:00Thanks.

I think the Minions are better in small doses. It didn't have the sustained wackiness that the Despicable Me movies had, but the moments where it worked had me rolling.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480863610135936930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-34081751527999303812015-08-05T21:26:33.113-04:002015-08-05T21:26:33.113-04:00Guess this is not for everybody, lol.Guess this is not for everybody, lol.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-23219677622068056532015-08-05T18:30:31.398-04:002015-08-05T18:30:31.398-04:00I took my little cousins to this one.

Like you, I really enjoyed the 60s music and some of the references, but I hardly laughed at all and got super bored at times.

I thought it was ballsy of them to have an entire movie centered around characters that speak Spaengfrenibberish.

I thought Bullock was really, really bland, especially compared to the voice-work in Despicable Me. But other than that I agree with most of your thoughts. How great was the soundtrack!! 60's rock for the win! Also, did you notice the huge poster that said "A MAN YOU CAN TRUST" with Nixon's face underneath? Hahaha I thought that was the funniest part, and it sure went over the head of the kids in the theatre with me!!epileptic.moondancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645198290574147035noreply@blogger.com
