Fun fact: originally the Minions were supposed to be genetically modified corn kernels created by Gru. I think I like that version better.
aww man that's bullshit, Gru creating them would have been a better movie rather than them being millions of years old. If I can remember in one of the mimi movies from despicable me, the three minions were shown about a test clip and in the test clip it shown minions being cloned.
Yeah, one of the mini-movies says all minions are cloned from the same strand of mutated DNA.
I thought it was genetically modified Corn Pops.
That’d be better.
I always had the impression that the minions were made by Gru because it would explain their undying loyalty to him. As well as to why they have his G labeled on their overalls.
Not the fact that the minions have been minions that existed since the beginning of time. And that their sole function as living beings is to serve a master( and in the case of real life, being marketable in order to sell products)
Isn’t A Goofy Movie a movie about a comic relief character that actually worked?
MegaSoulHero yes Actually it is
MegaSoulHero *Y* *E* *S*
MegaSoulHero I think it boils down to when a character should be written as comic relief and when he/she should be written as a relatable character. This movie failed at this, and A Goofy Movie succeeded. Simple enough.
That's because Goofy was not the main character, despite the movie being named after him.
There was more than just comedy as well. Children growing up, parent learning to retrust your child and letting go, etc.
Shaun the Sheep proved that you can carry on a children’s movie successfully without any dialogue.
You mean their entire show.
Anonymous 27 they made a movie too
In Shaun the sheep at least the characters had a personality, and you could guess what they were saying.
Basically like Wallace and Grommet, but I'm sure that's because you don't have to know what they say, just how they interact and feel about something.
Wall-E too
Isn't it Incredibly convenient that the Minions go into a cave in the Arctic *RIGHT* before World War II?
Actually as I recall they entered the cave during Napoleans reign, more than a hundred years before WWll. But yeah, it kind of goes to the reviewers point that, even though they're supposed to serve "evil" historical figures, because it's a kids movie, they can't serve anyone REALLY evil.
@@austinreed7343 This is ripe for a parody. An actually interesting parody where the minions serving evil is taken to the logical extreme. It would be hysterical in the right hands
@@austinreed7343 I wish I could add to this but I have no other ideas
#GasTheMinions
@@austinreed7343 I wouldn't say French Revolution is anywhere near the Holocaust. Not only the death camps saw larger numbers of people die, the Nazis actually also put more people to the guillotine than were put back then in France. Hitler had reduced the age of people who could be executed to 14.
That all been said I suspect Robespierre would have been almost as bad had he had Hitler's armies and technology.
I always believed that Gru created the minions, because it makes more sense, I mean the trailer ask us if we knew where the minions came from, but the fact they been around for millions of years, doesn't make sense because in the Despicable Me movie, everyone is shocked to see them.
Cecilio Mendoza Actually, I'm pretty sure it was stated in some side material for Dispicable Me that Gru cloned all the minions from a single kernel of Corn.
Then they retconned it in Minions for some reason.
JDeO1997 Yeah, I was sort of thinking the same, they all look similar, so of course they'll be clones, but the minions got popular and they decide to make this stupid movie.
It's especially stupid because like... if they wanted to make a movie with the minions on their own, they didn't HAVE to set it before they "met" Gru. It could've taken place just a couple years before Despicable Me, maybe, with the minions going on strike or getting somehow separated from Gru or something.
Elsie yeah I don't consider this movie Cannon and I still believe they were created by Gru because they all look like clones, but yeah that would be a better idea.
You know your film is a pathetic cash grab when it’s willing to break continuity for the sake of a quick buck
The green aliens from Toy Story were the original Minions.
Surley You Jestin' And they speak English and are used sparingly.
And have WAY more personality than the Minions.
I'd say the Jawas and Ewoks from Star Wars.
Queenofawesome25 L With a joke that they waited *AT LEAST 10 YEARS* to capitalize on!
They were using sparingly in all 3 movies
Imagine if instead of Dracula, they put the actual Vlad Dracul in this movie.
Or instead of Napoleon it’s Robespierre?
oh looks its the guy with the really mean trailer video
pro trick : you can watch movies on kaldroStream. Been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Bruce Denver yea, I have been watching on kaldroStream for months myself :D
@Bruce Denver definitely, have been watching on kaldrostream for years myself :)
"How do you think the actual screenplay for this movie looked?"
That's a really good question actually. I'll admit - I'm mildly curious to know what minionspeak looks like in written form.
Pierre Coffin (the director of most of the DM movies) provides the voices.
TheGoldenKing20 Based on the subtitles, it's probably (Minionese) "Stuart" (Minionese)

@@MalescoM He sounds really creative and funny voicing the minions
I can answer the "why is this film set in the sixties" question easily.
Because it was when Gru was young.
That doesn't make it done well, but there _is_ a reason.
so what was really life living in 1968?
As Mr. enter said “no reason is infinitely better than a bad reason”
@@silversaiyan4010 Yes, but having the Minions meet Gru when he was a kid is not a bad reason to set this film in the sixties...I think.
Aaaaaaaand because they didn't want kids to see Minions helping Hitler
@@silversaiyan4010 The sixties being when Gru was a kid and not showing the Minions helping Hitler are both good reasons, or at least they are not bad reasons to set Minions in the sixties. I am still looking forward to seeing Minions 2: The Rise of Gru. Hopefully it will be better than Minions if young Gru has a bigger part in it - with the Minions. December 8, 2020, 11:49am
You must have the patience of a saint dealing with these movies...
Or the steady hand of a detective...
I actually liked it.
Once you have seen the worse, everything else seems numb to you.
Or the mind of a mad man
I know you’ve risen above shouting at bad movies, but considering you’re doing an animated film you hate and Re-Animated back-to-back, I’d say it feels warranted now.
"Kid friendliest evil people in history"
*Napoleon is one of the leaders the minions serve*
Kids basically know Napoleon as a short angry French guy, though
Elsie Which isn't even true. He wasn't short. He was actually 5 foot 7, pretty tall for his period in time. He only LOOKED short in comparison to his personal bodyguards.
Yeah I know that too, but the myth is still there
@Vice TOLUCT I'm Jewish, so you're talking to the wrong person here.
Napoleon started a bunch of wars, that's basically his worst crime. By that logic everyone in history up to the current day is super evil. He liberalized France, shattered the idea of absolute monarchy being insurmountable, increased separation of church and state, made peace with the Pope so that radicals would stop killing Catholics, and a lot of other things. Compared to Louis the "whichever one who got his head cut off" who started a massive war with Britain to satiate his ego, bankrupted France, ignored the cries from the French middle and lower class that were suffering from extortion by the corrupt government and failing economic situation, and tried to abandon his country because he fucked up and just wanted to hunt. Napoleon was hella better than Robespierre and the other reign of terror rulers.
Sidenote, can you imagine minions in WWI? Over the top they go and they get mowed down by French, British, Russian, and American machine gun nests. Kevin is struck right through the goggles and is dead, Stuart holds his cold, limp body, sobbing all while Bob is having a mental breakdown due to breaking from the explosions and gunfire
I think the only things i liked in the Minions movie were:
The villains family: I admit, that joke was actualy funny. The stereotype of the "american family" as villain enthusiasts and villains themselves was well-played, unexpected and the characters were kind of enjoyable.
Scarlet Overkill: Not the best villain, but I am fond of Sandra Bullock's characters, it's always the slightly neurotic, competitive and "egghead" boss lady that manages to give me a good giggle or two at her maneirism, and I ALWAYS enjoy when they model characters after their voice actors, and you can tell how Scarlet was pretty much done with Sandra Bullock in mind for the role.
The opening song: Happy Together by The Turtles is a pretty good and catchy song
Yeah, Scarlet and the family were the only things I could tolerate in this crap. Too bad it wasn't a villains family movie instead of a minions movie.
When I watched Minions the other day, I noticed that the family reminded me of National Lampoon's Vacation movies and the iconic Griswald family with Chevy Chase, who was played by Michael Keaton. I don't hate Minions like most people but I don't entirely love them, they are just cute to me. They may not be anything important but sometimes, I just want to turn off my brain to get a break from the inner demons within me.
@jooree7696 Most of the soundtrack was good but only because it was from rock songs in the 1960s.
Okay. Am I the only one who realized that their goggles changed RIGHT AS THEY GOT OFF THE BOAT?
Philosopher, yeah I noticed that too
Goes to show how little they care.
Am I the only one who didn't realize they changed goggles at all?
Philosopher When?
I read the comment BEFORE I got to that part of the video
Now I'll NEVER un-see it...
What made the Umpa Lumpas likable is that mostly they weren’t the full focus of the film, whether or not it’s the original or the remake
* 2005 ADAPTION.
*Oompa Loompas
I don't hate this movie as much as everyone else, but the fact that its getting a sequel makes me shudder.
Blackiecomics Its sad when you have to like your own comment
Blackiecomics hopefully the sequel will be about Mel (the minion from the third despicable me film) since he needs to be the main one!
Blackiecomics wait what
Goddamn, how I wish MEGAMIND had been the huge hit and become a series instead of DESPICABLE ME.
@@petercharleskrug I love Megamind, but I don't think it needs a sequel

Minions:
Directed by: Norm of the North
Executive Producer: Miss McBeth
Written by: Brian Griffin
Camera Man: Buck Cluck
Character Desings: Lois Griffin and Clover
Storyboard Artist: Jailbreak
Where's Awful B. Bad? Shouldn't he be in the credits?
I feel like awful b. Bad would be the character designer
The Minions are the worst thing about The Despicable Me. If you ask me Despicable Me would've been better if it was just Gru,The Girls and Dr.Nefario.
Tarlo The Boar you mean gorls
Alfonso Razo Yes. I'd have kept the Minions out of it entirely
There must be some things that the minions did to help Gru in the first 2 Despicable Mes to warrant this film. They are the kind of characters who are only funny in small doses. June 8, 2018, 11:33pm
AlbinoComrade gorls lmfao 😂 made my day
Illumination doesn't care about the human characters, all they care about are the minions, maybe if they were to do cameos of other human characters from the other despicable me movies, and give us more story to the human characters it would be fine, but nope, it has minions all the damn time, geez I really hope despicable me 4 is about the human characters and returning characters, and less screen time for the minions.
not to be THAT person, but dracula did exist. he just wasn't a vampire. also arguably not a villain.
As much a villain as Napoleon was perhaps though.
If you're talking about Vlad the Impaler...yeah, that guy was evil, but he mostly used his cruelty to protect his land.
Just like how Santa was a real saint named nicholas.
Well... he severed heads on pikes and ate the flesh of children in front of their parents... so...
If you wanna see a foreign language translated done right, watch Isle of Dogs. That would have worked for the Minions, too. But Illumination is no friggin Wes Anderson.
Wes Anderson actually had a voice cameo in Sing along with Edgar Wright. That is because one of his friends, Garth Jennings, directed the movie.
Or a studio ghibli dub. Or heck something by funimation.
You know what animated kids film worked with little to know talking at all? Wall-e. I know! I know! How dare I even mention a wonderful Pixar flick under the name as minions! But seriously, I went to go see it with a 3, 8, and 14-year-old, and all three of them could understand everything that was going on. The only time they were a little unsure was during the scenes WITH dialogue.
What about Shaun the Sheep? That had literally no spoken words at all yet it was still way better.
Holy crap! Wall-E came out 10 years ago.
Truly a testament to great film making
Wall E is preachier than Captain Planet. If you ignore the shitty environmental message, which is very hard to do, since it is the main message, it is good, a cute robot love story, nothing more, nothing less.
@@LevObzor Shut up
The Minions remind me much of the Rabbids, initially side characters in the first game/movie they featured in but eventually took over their respective franchises. At least the Rabbids eventually got their own separate franchise from Rayman.
Oh No *knuckles what are you doing here OH NO*
Same here. The Rabbids came first by far, though.
The LEGO Batman Movie proved you could take a comic relief character and make it work in a feature film and even give the relief some depth. Shaun The Sheep Movie proved you could make an entire slapstick comedy movie without dialogue and that came out the same year as this. I guarantee you that if the movie had the same guys who worked on Shaun The Sheep then this movie could have worked and been a great tribute to slapstick and silent comedy like Shaun was.
Heck, the movie was written by the guy who wrote the Puss In Boots movie so you would think that he would be able to work the same magic here, but for some reason he can't seem to pull it off.
And Enter, you don't need dialogue to understand what the minions are trying to say or get across in this film. I understood that Kevin was trying to encourage Bob by how the gibberish was said. I didn't need a translator or a narrator or anything to understand.
The lego batman movie was pretty disappointing compared to the original lego movie though (but that may just be an unpopular opinion of mine)
Having seen the movie, about their “personalities”, I sort of thought that Kevin was the straight-man, Bob the baby, and Stuart the coolguy.
Yeah. Basically 3 different types of ages. The teen, mini adult and child.
It's insane how much attention the Minions get, when the "Rabbids" from "Rayman Raving Rabbids" did pretty much the exact same thing first and was a big hit for Ubisoft. Gibberish dialogue, a whole lot of characters that looks pretty much the same and a big focus on comedy.
If I'm honest. The rabbids scare me
The Despicable Me franchise would've been remembered better if the Minions were not included.
Giovanni Orellana Well Said
Can we get the Minions movie without the Minions?
On the contrary, if they didn't have Minions, Illumination would probably be broke by now, and instead of complaining that Illumination is a shit company, we'd be complaining that Hollywood is a shit economy that can't support our precious cult classics. I'd rather take the option that gives more people jobs.
Giovanni Orellana pretty much. 3 good movies (well, 3's worse then 2, but miles better then Minions), and yet the reputation of them are dragged down by one bad film
Giovanni Orellana gorls
i also love how the writers retconned the Minions existence just to give them their own spin off movie.
(in a background shot of Despicable Me, it shows a schematic showing they were created by Gru from corn)
Minions aren't the reason that simple design gibberish spouting characters exist. They have always and always will exist. (Rabbids, Teletubbies, Boobahs, etc.) So to say minions has had an influence on animation for kids is like saying Mr. Pickles has had an influence on adult animation. It didn't make the formula, it followed the formula.
Red Man VValking The minions didn't create the formula. But it DID streamline it and popularize it in anyway never before.
Yeah, Disney tried for years to create marketable pet type characters for their movies, and you could tell because they always showed up at the end of the trailer in like a bland background.
However, you can tell recent things want to be this and not that.
One could argue too, that the minions are the most egregious example of their respective formula's flaws. Like Mr Pickles and King Star King are possibly the most egregious examples of what can go wrong in a show that's nothing but shock for shock's sake.
The main difference is that the Rabbids never got as popular as the minions. The Minions were the push that really got the ball rolling.
Yeah because Rabbids, Teletubbies, and Boobahs never got merchandised to death like Minions has.
I recently watched the Pokemon Season 1 episode, "Island of the Giant Pokemon," where the Pokemon and their trainers get separated after a shipwreck and have to look for each other. The Pokemon all speak their own "language" (that is, just repeating their own names over and over), but the episode has subtitles so we can understand them. Also, Meowth is a Pokemon that speaks English, but also understands what the other Pokemon are saying. Same concept as Minion talk, but executed 1,000,000 times better.
Shaun the Sheep did better dialogue than this movie and actually did it well
Every animation done by Aardman is a masterpiece.
The Big Chase!
Don’t forget Oggy And The Cockroaches.
Ironically, Illumination not having some integrity is the MAIN reason why it has less risks of failure. Disney had Chicken Little, Pixar had Cars 2, Sony Pictures had The Emoji Movie, Blue Sky had Ice Age V, and Dreamworks had Shark Tale. You can say Hop or The Lorax are low, but even those movies felt like Illumination's basics.
You can't get an all time low if all of your movies are equally bad.
cole 143c Not bad. Just not different.
Except I wouldn't call Sing or Secret Life of Pets bad.
funcoolfunfun Secret Life of Pets is just a ripoff of Toy Story. The problem with Sing is how pandering it is. Watch I Hate Everything's review of it to see what I mean
Oh, I don't deny that Secret Life of Pets IS a Toy Story ripoff or that Sing is pandering.
But I feel like they are still good movies.
They aren't GREAT by any means, but they aren't bad either.
The narrator in this movie sounds a lot like the narrator in "Peppa Pig"
1.) Both have a British accent in their voice!
2.) They tell the audience something that they already know!
3.) They're pointless because the Viewer had eyes and can use context clues to figure out what's going on!
Just proof that entertainment for kid these days has been dumbed down and it's pretty sad....
rachel evans Neither of them, of course, can compare to the Narrator from the Stanley Parable.
Caddicarus compared this narrator to the Peppa Pig narrator in his Minions review.
rachel evans Oh god don't think about Jeffery rush doing that impression!
Two and three are the same thing
That's actually Geoffrey Rush as the narrator, although he's Australian
I admit I wish there were subtitles when they talk😅
if there were subtitles then what's the point of the minions speaking gibberish ? it's not like the voice actors themselves have some kind of speech disorder.
"I need to take a shit, get out of my way!"
ReasyRandom oh my God I got that reference XD
It's worse than gibberish, the minions sometimes use spanish words that are very sexually suggestive. Not an issue for typical american audiences, but if the children watching do know spanish, they would be hearing the minions calling fire hydrants they were infatuated with "dogs."
Nathan Higgins Rated PG.
In any case, I doubt it was intentional. They also use broken English.
I thought I heard weird broken Spanish words in there, but I had convinced myself I just heard wrong! Huh. Weird. Lol
Molag Bal Mr. Enter is autistic. If you were a fan you’d know better than to throw that around as if it’s an insult.
Nyoom you're right but still
r/gatekeeping
Baron Anoch If you agree then why the hell does this have to do with a Reddit thread on Gatekeeping. You understand why I told them if you agree. It’s the OP’s wishes that it’s not thrown around in such a way. You’ve been watching too much SootHouse and Slazo to understand that I’m not using it as an excuse to keep them from enjoying his content. I’m pointing out how hypocritical they were to use those sorts of insults with how Enter is. I’m not even a fan of Enter, the opposite really.
Do you know of a really a kicker? The Ghibli they speak is actually a fully functional language they basically take several words from other language and make it into a Frankenstein language
I'm aware, and am weirdly able to follow much of the Minion's dialogue because of it. I have a feeling that may be partly why these characters don't bother me as much as they bother most.
Brandon Yarbrough
It is a functual language???
Brandon Yarbrough this makes me really wanna see someone add subtitles to the movie that actually translate the minions.
netflix had functional subs for all the movies except the first and the second one had an app to translate them with
The dislikers of this video are all like "Studio Ghibli is overrated and you know it!!!! >8(". >8(
At this point in time, I don't think people really need to explain why they hate the Minions. Even today they're oversaturating the market and being plastered on every product imaginable.
A friend of mine argued that the Minions are cute and charming. No. Toothless from "How To Train Your Dragon" is cute and charming. Stitch from "Lilo & Stitch" is cute and charming. (Note: both of those movies are better than this movie). The Minions are simply annoying and gimmicky.
Anyway, nice to see a new review from you, Mr. Enter. Always a pleasure :D
This is like the Fortnite of animation.
It's a shame as well because the Minions in the first (and maybe second) Despicable Me were absolutely hilarious and kinda cute. However Illumination saw dollar signs written all over them after that :/
protoluigi Strange how true that is, it started small and okay, then it exploded and it had a monstrously bad influence on the industry it was a part of
Well, one man's trash is another man's treasure
I thought the Minions would've gave people nightmares.
4:55 Clearly you need to see Shaun the Sheep the Movie (which did come out in the same year as the Minions Movie) and that had absolutely no dialogue whatsoever and yet it managed to be a really good movie.
9:45 Ahem... Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Jungle Book, Cinderella and Sword in the Stone had that type of usage for the narrator and they were good to fine movies.
Shaun the Sheep also had a show that lasted for 5 seasons.
And the characters literally didn't make any noise. It's different.
Sheridan Mann
Actually, they all made random noises too like every sheep constantly go "baa", the dog grunts and even the animal control man had grunts and other noises provided by Omad Djalili
BRRGames Shaun the sheep the movie is better than the minions movie which is good since it felt more creative than the minions movie
BRRGames
Shawn was over all silent with the time to time animal noise, which makes COMPLETE SENSE. It's no where close to having a sudo language and characters with little to no personality.
Also those narrators explained what we couldn't really see in those movies. Not like this one.
I'm not sure about the comic relief thing. A comic relief character can work in a comedy movie. Look at deadpool. He's comic relief and his movies are awesome.
Also sometimes you don't need dialogue to carry a story. There are movies where the characters barley talk and can capture the audience through expressions.
Too bad minions can't do this right
JK Network Deadpool is not a comic relief character, and the problem isn't that they only speak gibberish, the problem is that they take up runtime with gibberish and the sloppiness of the narration
Not an Instrument he is comedic but it's a dark comedy in many many cases.
JK Network Deadpool isn't a comic relief character, he's a character in a comedy movie. He actually has a character. If you were to listen to a line of dialogue written for Deadpool and a line written for Colossus, you'd be able to easily distinguish which line is for whom. You can tell their characters apart. How can you tell the minion's characters apart?
Like wall-e. I love that movie n they barely talk
Ahmed Abusabib I'm not saying his doesn't have a character but most if the time even in serious situations he breaks the fourth wall and makes jokes. When he trans up with wolverine, Spider-Man or anyone in comics. That's the point I'm making. That comic relief characters can have characters if their own. Another example is sokka or bolin from avatar and legend of korra. They are funny but have characters of their own.
Believe it or not......... The Minion language is actually a mix of Spanish, A bit of Korean, a splash of Japanese and a few other languages that I can't spell or pronounce correctly.
Ok so I agree with your points except:
1. I actually think the language of the minions works pretty well. You can still get the meaning without knowing every word. To use your example of the scene before they left. They weren't talking about a bus, bob(,I think) was worried about not finding a good boss and Kevin reassured him that they would.
2. They actually do have personalities (,if a little flat) Kevin is the smart one, bob is the stupid yet well meaning one, Stuart is the ladies man who is overconfident. That's what the t.v. Section was setting up.
Ever heard of Bobsheaux? When he reviewed this movie, he summed up Kevin, Stuart, and Bob's dynamic as, essentially "the adult, the adolescent, and the child". And honestly, I think that pretty much covers it.
that actually makes a lot of sense and that's kind of deep
Elsie That makes a lot of sense.
They paralel Margo, Edith and Agnes.
thats kinda deep for minions
In a nutshell, don’t write comic relief as one-dimensional nonsense, especially if they’re supposed to be focused on. Characters like Goofy in A Goofy Movie or the Madagascar penguins work because:
A, their media is more than comedy (adventure and coming-of-age for the former, spy action for the latter); comic relief by definition exist as breaks from serious material, and if everything is funny, they’re pointless.
B, there’s focus on more than the comic relief; comic relief works best in small doses, and over-saturating will eventually make your audience want, to quote CinemaSins on this movie, relief from the comic relief.
C, most importantly, the comic relief are more than just that; for example, Goofy is written as a relatable, genuinely caring and open-minded if bumbling and somewhat disconnected parent to Max. If you want them to carry a plot, give them some actual depth!
From what I hear The Minions are the way they are is beacuse Illumination wanted to make them like big thugs or Stormtrooper's but they didn't have enough budget for that.
Maybe _that_ can be the sequel instead?!
How would them being big thugs or stormtroopers impact the budget?
ajmrowland well the stormtroopers probably would be a copyright claim but the “big thieves” thing i have no idea why they wouldn’t do that :/
It was because when the first DM was in development, they needed to make Gru somewhat sympathetic and the best way was to have him surrounded by the incompetence of his allies.
Mairead Malesco That's what I've been told
Then I'm guessing you won't be happy to hear about the Minions sequel and the fourth Despicable Me movie.
Chris the Hedgehog both of those aren’t needed at all, I liked despicable me 1....that’s about it
Chris the Hedgehog Despacito 3
Chris the Hedgehog WHAT?!?!
SuperstarYT
Yep.
It should have stayed a trilogy. No friggen 4th movie or spinoffs surrounding Rabbid/Beaker/Servbot hybrids please.
Lots of cartoons don't speak Wile E Coyotee, Road Runner, Taz, Gromit, the Pokemon, Road Runner, Ferb (90% of the time) and the whole cast of Shaun the Sheep.
Right when I saw the Universal company intro, " Simpsons did it, AND BETTER"
UGH, I would get so sick of these things!
hey man atleast they look like big yellow dick
The best way to watch this movie is with the Comedy Button Audio Commentary. They dissect this movie so hard. That's actually when I realized that this film legitimately has no plot. They actually come up with (arguably) BETTER PLOTS than the one that we got for this movie. (I also just re-downloaded it to listen to it again as I watch this review. It still holds up)
But they are dead
Me two
+BenjiXAddictX4Ever Same here.
If you're gonna be talking about the Minions, then you should talk about the Rabbids sometime as well.
May as well wait for the movie
They had a TV show, but it was so forgettable and devoid of interesting plots and jokes (including bad ones) that the review would last three minutes.
WeegeeSlayer
At least the rabbids had a good game or two.
WeegeeSlayer Honestly, I kind of like the Rabbids (the comedy is hit or miss though). I thought the first three games were enjoyably, fun stupidity and while I haven’t played Rabbids Go Home, it looks fun. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was a better use of the Rabbids, they don’t scream as much, there’s a bigger variety of jokes and not just the Rabbids stupidity getting themselves hurt and the Mario characters and Beep-O react to their shenanigans.
MeowTheRainbowX Only Funny one I found, involved a Defib, and that was because you could make a Battlefield 3 Joke with it.
I love how they carefully wrote the story to where the minions conveniently avoided helping Hitler
That intro to the movie was rather ear grating. Anyone else find that?
Reminds me of the Illumination logo at the start of Sing.
@@NitroIndigo Coinsidence?
I was forced to watch this movie twice by my family. I hated every second of this movie. I agree. This movie is a huge annoyance and headache.
princessbinas I haven't seen the movie myself, but from what I've seen in this review, I'm sorry that you had to be subjected to this...merde.
So was I, I had to act like I was enjoying it and I'll admit I laughed at a few things, but after it I felt like it was the biggest waste of my time. Until secret life of Pets that is, I actually told my family I didn't enjoy that one.
Naomi Riter I wish I could have gotten out of it. I loathed every second of it. I can handle bad movies like Sharknado and find enjoyment, but this was beyond bad.
I feel like you guys overreact how bad this movie is. It’s a stupid slapstick filled movie. Nothing more
In the words of a much funnier short yellow cartoon character...
I'm ready
"The minions are actually perfectly designed. That's not a good thing. I want poorly designed characters."
Honestly... I liked the Minions Movie if ONLY because of the villainess, Scarlet Overkill. I thought she was good fun.
Yeah she was a pretty lady. ^^
Part 2 is coming, folks! Thank you for your patiences!
TheCrimsonMayhem you're welcome.
Also, Villain Con is a terrible idea as that would attract the attention of every authority in Orlando and, hell maybe even the USA.
I wouldn't mind so much if the convention was a secret, but if it's literally being advertised on TV, wouldn't you think that maybe even the police would take a look at it!?
That’s the joke.
Molag Bal Mr. Enter believes making something “for kids” is no excuse for poor quality.
Molag Bal I was just answering the question, assuming you didn’t know he doesn’t respond to the IJFK argument.
Making something "for kids" is no excuse for shit quality. I remember seeing a quote somwhere along the lines of "If a show/movie/whatever is enjoyable only by kids, then it is not a good show/movie/whatever".
Should Villain con ever return in Despicable me?
The minions in the first movie were enjoyable to me. They made sense to exist in the movie (every villain needs underlings to help with the dirty work) AND helped portray the passage of time (their English gets better as the girls stick around and spend time around them)
i was forced to watch this movie by a girl i had a crush on. I remember expecting much worse but at the same time i don't remember anything from the movie except the family of criminals. It probably was the only scene that had a legit funny concept that got me a laugh.
And if yu wanna know about the girl... well, considering how much she was laughing at the movie (she was 23 btw) i started feeling that, well, she might not be the right one.
Considering what she did later, and that she was worshipping a king kong statue praying in front of it every evening, i think i dodged a bullet.
I think bullet is understating it.
E.O.W.
Did you at least bang her?
YES! A new Animated Atrocity!
JacobTHESitton These are fun, the guy's fun but he also knows what he's talking about.
I know right
Yeah, and another two-parter!
If you don't like then get the hell out. Nobody said you have to watch it.
Huh? Just as I was getting ready to sleep, Mr.Enter releases a new video.
Also, I should mention that yellow is the color associated with madness.
6:49 it took zero seconds for this movie to annoy you
before my mom passed away she really liked minions.. I cannot really watch minions due to the fact that before she died she wanted to watch that movie and it hurts me to watch this but its worth it.
How did you survive?
He drank a few bottles of whiskey to numb the pain.
Simte I survived. I love Minions
Well, think about bad movies like snake venom. Some snakes are deadly, however, if you get bitten by enough snakes and survived, then you build an immunity to the more deadly snakes. In this case, mysteriousmrenter has watched so many bad movies and tv shows that he has built an immunity to them, hence why he's still alive.
One time at the library, I asked a young girl which movie she would choose if she had a choice between this movie and Spirited away. And guess what? She chose this movie! 😡😠
Legoking 616 Well kids do like Minions, it's very eye catching to them. Despite me being 21, I love this movie no matter what but it's not number 1.
It would be nice if they had subtitles of what the Minions said, since they speak in Multilanguage.
Actually believe it or not the minions have an actual structure of speech, they speak multiple languages at once, french, italian, spanish and butchered english, its not just gibberish a lot of what they're saying is an actual statement kind of how Kenny's lines on southpark are scripted despite the fact that you're not gonna understand him anyway.
In the minions movie specifically it seems like they went out of their way to make those speech patterns a lot more understandable, a lot of it is pronouncing an english word the way you would pronounce it in spanish, they literally dumbed it down for children (yes, apparently it can get dumber xD)\ I'm actually quite surprised you didn't get the more obvious ones!
I don't like this movie, or particularly care about it, just thought i'd point it out!
should they have one minion speak English with a good voice actor and not annoying voice, and even have him be a villain?
@@pedrosaabedra5653 that probably would've been better
That is true but hey, so does Stitch from Lilo and Stitch
@@mk3a Exactly.
You know what woulda been a good plan? Have the minions speak English when it's just them, you know, like war movies do with foreigners?
The only GOOD Minions from a 2010 movie where the one eyed robots from MEGAMIND
Dude. I have a 5-years-old cousin that wants to watch this movie literally every time he visits me. I might go insane soon.
Make him watch one of the animated Titanic movies instead, he'll never want to come over again.
I think I'll put Coraline instead. It is some quality animation and his nightmares are not really my problem, he will thank me one day.
"Comic relief characters work best in small doses"
Aka why Pinkie Pie focus episodes tend to be among my least favorite, despite her being my favorite pony.
I would totally watch a version of the minion movie where they were serving the *actual* most evil person at different points in history. Like, Vlad the Impaler is like, "Now boil him alive!" and then f*ckin' Kevin comically screws it up
I personally thought Minions was a cute movie. It might be because I love the Raving Rabbids series.
I kinda liked it too
I found that series so annoying and boring, but IRYO
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!
Yeah, and guess what? Nostalgia Critic's reviewing Chicken Little today. Another movie Mr.Enter hates.
10:55 ... Can I sue MR Enter for making me realize there's rule 34/ porn of the minions out there.
The first Despicable Me was the only good movie that Illumination ever made
Along with the Mario movie.
Is the narrator the same dude in pippa peg
Dragon Kirby XD
No, that's Geoffrey Rush
Pippa peg
Have you considered doing an animated atrocity review of "Batman: The Killing Joke"?
Comedies need a drama-relief, a character that brings down the moo- oh wait...
"If your entire movie is slapstick, it'll get old fast", unless you're Jackass, which was drop dead hilarious from beginning to end
Finally! A good critic that isn't Doug Walker!
TheCrimsonMayhem hey are you his editor
Are you familiar with the Channel Awesome controversy
I Hate Everything, Ralph the Movie Maker, and Your Movie Sucks are all great.
TheCrimsonMayhem Are you seriously just finding out about this guy?
I'm assuming he's joking, he is (or was) one of Mr Enter's Editors
You think that people would stop bashing this movie after the Emoji Movie stole it spotlight of shittiest movie. But I guess since then this movie unwanted existent is like a dark reminder. Everytime we see it in stores, commercial, everywhere we go, It's watching us, Haunting our dreams, Just waiting for the moment of it wanting to devour our souls in our sleep.
That or just begging us to spend our money for a crappy movie. I'm not buying.
Making a movie with JUST the Minions is like making a South Park movie with just Kenny. Kenny and the Minions have one big thing in common: They don’t speak in an understandable way, which makes it hard for them to be entertaining without the support of other characters. Imagine watch an ENTIRE South Park film with JUST Kenny in it. That’s sort of what this is like, except for the fact that Kenny has entertainment value in that his actions and personality make him a likeable character. Whereas the Minions, well, they don’t do much EXCEPT spout gibberish.
I read a study ones that children under five really respond well to circles. That’s used in advertising as well.
There’s a Documentary called “consuming kids” I watched it 10 years ago. I’ve never looked at advertising the same way again.
The one good joke in this movie was the time traveling dude dying and the rest of the hims disappearing.
I swear, CinemaSins had the exact same complaints as you did
Shit like this is why spin-off films don't gave a stellar reputation.
i ended up seeing Minions a while back, and I didnt find it particularly terrible. i could at the very least sit through the whole movie and not find myself going "oh god just end already" but seeing it layed out like this really highlights just how much of this movie is forgettable. i did not remember a single previous master from the opening montage. i did not remember that the movie even had a narrator. i did not remember how the movie had a 1968 setting or any of the gags in New York. and i honestly couldnt even remember their names, which feels like a problem of its own. when a character is named properly, it sticks with people. when i think of Bob, Stuart, and Kevin i think of nothing because those are all lazy names. heres what i do remember about the movie - the minions find a master whose name is Scarlet Overkill, and then they end up taking over Britain, or maybe it was France, i dont even remember that much.
I had forgotten the 60's setting until this review as well. Though they backed themselves into a corner with that one. You can tell they didn't want the extra effort of putting it in the past but had to so then child Gru made sense. That's something I think Mr. Enter forgot happened.
I remember the scene where Stuart hypnotizes the guards, and they all sing "Hair" in Minion speech.
Illumination: The minions served the evilest people in history
Minions: *serves Napoleon*
Napoleon/History: Excuse me what the fu-
Like the Minions could be the cause for the strange evil people's deaths, so they could've killed Hitler by trying to adjust a church bell. That would've been funny.
Slapstick and Surreal comedy can work through an entire movie (Naked Gun, Blazing Saddles, etc).
The creators of The Minions don't know how to it.
I’ve been waiting for this for AGES. Thank you for this, Mr Enter.
12:20 I think the Nostalgia Critic put this best:
"Hey, did you also know the Ghostbuster logo came from a graffiti artist in the subway? NOBODY CARES!"
I get what you're trying to say but the Minions language is actually based on Spanish. My Hispanic family for that reason finds them pretty funny (mostly the kiddos) for that reason. I'm not saying they're great, but they aren't speaking complete gibberish and you can pick out Spanish in their sentences. Like, they're still terrible and I think it was a bad choice, but I just find this fact interesting.
All the words the Minions say come from some real language or another.
But it still counts as gibberish since they switch between languages almost every word, which is just about impossible for people who even know that many languages to do (at least, while speaking at the Minion's pace).
I'm a native Spanish speaker
They do occasionally say stuff that kinds of has bits of Spanish in it here and there but overall it's gibberish
Also sorry for answering late, just thought it would be interesting to point out
Challenge: take a shot every time there’s Minion gibberish. You’ll be hungover before the movie’s halfway through
Something I noticed while watching this video: the Minions' goggles just change offscreen at some point with no explanation
I was never really all that bothered by minions, maybe cause I never had a facebook feed to get flooded with them, who knows... I watched this movie a while back and I don't think it's that bad, really. It's nothing special, to be certain, but I don't think it's offensive either. It's just... middle of the road. It still managed a few good chuckles out of me, at least. On that problem with the minions not talking, through context you can often infer what they're saying, your mind passively fills in the blanks. It definitiely has it's issues in some places, like that intro would likely be indecipherable without the narrator, and personality does suffer.
I figured the movie is set in the 60s because that's when James Bond movies started and the 60s aesthetic was inherently tied to them. Scarlet, Gru, and all the other villains are quite obviously Bond-style supervillains reminiscent of the 60s and characters like Blofeld and Goldfinger.
I have to admit, I'm incredibly disappointed that you bashed the concept of visual stories lacking dialogue. It's sort of a spit in the face to works that do dialogue-lacking protagonists well, like Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron (which had a narrator), Shaun the Sheep, the dailogue-less parts of Samurai Jack, and other works that are a trillion times better than Minions.
If you think about it, the minions are just clones of the Rabbids, simple designs, copy and pasted and scream a lot and make random jokes but instead of a video game, its a movie.
My Geometry teacher was a 67 year old man who was retiring the year I had him and every day he would show a Minion Meme from Facebook whenever we walked into class.
I don’t really agree with your points on dialogue. Yes, dialogue can help and be a very important way to convey information, but there are movies like Shaun the Sheep that don’t have and don’t need speaking protagonists because of the strength of its characters and visual storytelling. Not defending this movie by any means, but your argument about dialogue seemed to chalk up to “If the characters can’t speak, it hurts the movie, period.”
Yeah, if we went by that logic, the entire silent era of filmmaking is inherently bad
I remember watching the trailer for this movie at the movie theater 3 years ago. I laughed at some parts, but that doesn't mean i want to see it.
I’ve been waiting really long for this! Thanks for the awesome content Mr. Enter😁👏🏾
If this movie takes place in the 1960s that means Gru would be in his 50s in the Despicable Me movies, which he looks nothing like. Not even his wife looks like she’s in her 40s or 50s
