moviejournal: Minion the movie

it's not as touching and engaging as the first film, without gru and the girls the story lacks a bit of zazz and vibrance. the english heritage subplot is definitely interesting though. the feeling i have with the film is that singularly focussed on the minion story doesn't have enough substance to prop up a feature length. Ironically minion movie, like minion, needs a villain protagonist as much as minions need their master. the scarlet overkill character somehow is lacking in depth compare to gru in the first two films. but this is clutching at the straws - this is a film for the minion fetish mob and a bonanza for minion toy sales!
