This thread is not spoiler free for this movie or any of the previous movies in the franchise!
I actually enjoyed the first Despicable Me, but the existence of the Minions absolutely ruined this entire franchise.
Franchisism is the best way to ruin a good movie
Haha yes, I can’t disagree with that. Execs are never willing to just stop at one when there’s the opportunity to churn out more of the same and make bank.
I thought they were cute af in the movie, but they’ve morphed into something else in the popular culture
The minions are, thankfully, not the focus of this movie. They do have a side story, but that is all it is, just a small side story.
As a child of the 80s I liked the 3rd one better.
Can one still enjoy the Dispicable Me series without worrying about too many Minions? I had enough with the Rayman Raving Rabies type creatures… I just wanna enjoy some goofy mad scientists.
