Minions [DVD]

funny

Great movie, especially in 4k.

I saw this movie 5 times, both 3-D and regular (not convinced 3-D was worth the extra $$) and pre-ordered it. Despite some inconsistencies with Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2 (such as why they speak so much more clearly, although still Minionese; and age progression of Gru), it's hard not to like the movie. (Love the scenes in the dungeon...) When it's not downright hilarious, the Minions' indomitable spirit on their quest is, at the very least, endearing.The 'violence' some have decried is no worse than that of the cartoons I grew up with - Tom & Jerry, Wyle E. Coyote & Roadrunner, Bugs Bunny, et al. - and the diatribe about it being Hollywood propaganda is over-reaching. If one looks hard enough, everything in the media, regardless of format or origin, might be categorized as propaganda.For those who say there is no storyline, did you catch a glimpse of a young Gru, his mom, and Dr. Nefario at Villain Con? As a prequel, maybe it's not as fabulous an 'origin' story as one might like. But there are enough humorous moments and quotables to make it a keeper. It opens up possibilities for other stories on how they got from London up to the point of the first Despicable Me film (I hear dissidents groaning - okay, don't go to any more Minion-related movies).Last, but not least: how many people stayed through the end credits and then stayed longer? There are essentially two "encores", but if you don't stick around until the very absolute end, you'll miss them.

Cute and funny movie. Great for kids and enjoyable for adults and teenagers.

Great movie for the whole family to enjoy I highly recommend

I guess this counts a lot.

Good family movie

I give it for a gift!!!
