The story of Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, "Minions" evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters--from T. rex to Napoleon--the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression. But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he--alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob--ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Sandra Bullock), the world's first-ever female super-villain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind... from annihilation.
For the record - I'm a huge fan of the Minions so there really was no way that I could find this movie as anything but great. They kept it super short and sure you pretty much see most of the movie just by watching the various trailers and marketing for the movie, but who cares. They are cute, a completely original and non-Disney created entity (a real rarity when you think about it) and are funny as hell. They don't even speak English yet are totally understood and entertaining. And the very end of the movie was probably the best part of the whole thing.
I couldn't possibly recommend this movie more. This is very entertaining and funny for kids and adults and they are not remotely close to being tired or played out. And I for one hopes that they never are.
