1/27/2024 0 Comments Minion butt scene copyMinions have been in these Earth streets for eons, predating humans. Minions are a social construct, so I think it’s safe to say they’re a race. There are a lot of Minions, most of whom look quite similar. In the beginning of Minions, the purpose of these creatures is made clear. And not simply “no prior knowledge of other related films,” but “no prior knowledge, period.” You can go in dark to Minions - not having a single piece of knowledge in your brain - and still get it.īrains are not for Minions. All you need is a heart. This is helpful, because Minions requires no prior knowledge. In Part 1, I outlined the extent to which I had zero insight into the Despicable Me franchise, for which Minions is apparently a prequel of sorts. Seriously, if you go see this film, find a way to skip the first two minutes. And even as I sit here, ready to try to convince adults that this film is worthwhile, I’ll never forgive the creators of this film for that beginning. It’s the three main Minions singing the Universal Studios theme song in that high-pitched terrible Minion voice. Here’s a perfect example: The first 30 seconds of the film are enough to make someone with the agency over their own decisions leave the theater. But as they say - if you give the Minions an inch of love, they’ll give you a mile. And to be frank, there are moments early in the film when it does itself no favors. I know why sitting through something like Minions seems so terrible to endure. If your skepticism still exists, I fully understand. Feel free to stop reading, because that’s the takeaway. Minions is excellent. That’s basically the review. I can’t believe it. I didn’t even have to pretend. As in, Herb really liked the Minions and wasn’t just saying that to be cute - as in, I thought I was going to have to pretend to dig the Minions for the sake of being contrarian (which required being all in on Minions ), but then actually watched the film and now have fallen for all things Minions. “You guys are crazy, little, and way yellow, and I dig that.” “Right on,” said Herb Overkill, husband of Scarlet Overkill - the most legendary supervillain of the late ’60s to the three main Minions.
