The minions are a nice idea and the animation and London recreation is really good, but that's about it. The script is boring and the jokes not really funny.

a nice idea and the animation.the new thing in animation field.a movie that every one should like an kid or old man.

I enjoyed it a lot with my nephews. It's a fun family movie to watch with young'uns and there are some adult flavored jokes here and there.

Funny movie, but I thought it was kind of dumb. The minions did make me laugh a lot but the movie itself I just didn't like that much.

Given the megalomaniacs the poor "Minions" have had to work with over the years, it's not really surprising they are a bit flaky! Now, though, they are also rudderless. They have no guiding light. They have to find someone so dastardly to be worthy of their loyalty - but whom? Well, "Kevin", "Stuart" and baby "Bob" find are determined to settle this, and so are easy prey for the scheming "Scarlet Overkill" who has plans to commit the mother of all crimes. Not since George Zucco tried it in 1939 has anyone ever tried to steal the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London. She's tired of playing second fiddle to the men in the criminal fraternity but can her diminutive yellow henchmen facilitate her way to the Queen's throne itself. Loads of daft escapades and some duplicity later things come to an head with Beefeaters, a dungeon, dinky police cars and a good soundtrack to accompany their adventures. It's quite good fun, this, with loads of quickly paced action and some quite wittily scripted scenarios keeping ninety minutes of goggle-eyed action worth watching. The garbled baby-squeak does grate after a while but this is clearly just an introductory means to an end, this film, as the denouement shouts sequel at us and we meet a true nemesis of the law-abiding world.
