Minions Reviews

Movie Reviews

• the whole movie feels like filler, the equivalent of taking the Scrat slapstick that begins the "Ice Age" movies and stretching it to 90 minutes

  by Kyle Smith [New York Post ]

• the three main Minions are mostly interchangeable; an Abominable Snowman character feels like a steal from "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." And, worst of all, Scarlett Overkill, who needs to be as wildly colorful as her name, is given a one-note vocal

  by Stephen Whitty [Newark Star-Ledger ]

• the film's slapsticky gags are often amusing

  by Boyd van Hoeij [Hollywood Reporter ]

• the action sequences are wild, the jokes relentlessly dumb-but-smart, and the sheer sense of anything-goes daftness

  by Tom Huddleston [Time Out London ]

• it's often genuinely impressive

  by Jacob Hall [NY Daily News ]

• it's an imaginative burst but then the noisome plot kicks in

  Review rate : C+ by Joe McGovern [Entertainment Weekly ]

• if you're looking for slapstick humour, fart jokes, and, well, bananas, then the Minions movie will be right up your alley

  by Matt Meall [The Standard ]

• delivering more Minions but less heart than their two previous outings

  by Peter Debruge [Variety ]

• a whole film's worth of them is a bit like a meal made up entirely of sweets

  by Jake Wilson [Sydney Morning Herald ]

• "Minions" isn't in the same writing and animation league as what Pixar produces, it is a fun, cheerful time-passer that's filled with many random zingers that will leave you snickering afterward

  by Randy Myers [San Jose Mercury News ]
