An average movie

To be honest, I wasn't exactly dying to see this movie but my daughter was really eager to see it so we ended up watching it in the movie theater. This year, she turned 9 and, suddenly, she has decided to suggest some movies which is fine but, last time, she chose to see 'Home' which was not bad but way too childish for my taste. This time, I thought, it would be a little bit more entertaining but, eventually, the whole thing was still rather underwhelming. I mean, to start off, even though 'Despicable Me' and its sequel were not bad, I still think those movies were rather overrated. However, it was really obvious that the minions were by far the best thing in this franchise and a movie focusing on them was rather promising. Unfortunately, they came up with a rather underwhelming plot and I can't say I really cared for this story. Basically, the whole thing is supposed to show how those minions ended up with Gru which wasn't really a bad idea but this whole concept was rather poorly handled and this journey was basically rather boring. Still, at least, the animation was fine, those little yellow guys were fun to watch and my daughter had a good time so that's still worth something, I guess.
