Movie Review: “Minions”

Watch the trailers here:

BANANANAAAA! The Minions are back in their new movie. It’s called “Minions” and the story is before they finds Gru that means the movie is set before “Despicable Me” and “Despicable Me 2” and i here in Indonesia is so lucky to watch the movie first. "Minions" start showing in Indonesia on 17th June 2015. So,the Minions start to find their master since the single-cell form, they found all kinds of master, includes a T-Rex, Napoleon, even the Dracula! But as the narrator says “Finding a master is easy, keeping it now that’s the real problem”. Without a master, the Minions have no purpose. But one of the minions, Kevin, stand himself with Bob and Stuart to find them a new master. And then the adventure begins.

The movie is very funny even from the intro and is suitable for all ages. Despite the Minions babbling about things, we should be grateful to have the narrator to tell us what us going on. The Minions babbling and doing something silly makes the viewers laugh out all throught the movie. Some of the jokes are new and some of them are from the first two movies but the new ones are so refreshing that makes me laugh. And the funny thing is the Minions sometimes will sing quite well-known songs with their own language,and it was hilarious.

All of the Minions are voiced by Pierre Coffin and he do a great job on it. Their babbling are actually a combination from some languages including English, Indonesia, Italian, and some French from what i heard. With no clear dialogue,i’m quite happy to see Scarlet Overkill (Sandra Bullock) and she did a really good job in the voice-acting. Scarlet Overkill is shown as the first female villain and she is super tricky, so don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

Overall, this movie is so funny and a must-watch movie of the year. Thankyou for reading, and i sure will update some more in this blog.
