#Minion memes for moms spanish movie

Any appreciation for the movie is ironic, aside from those who go for the sole sake of seeing the minions out of a genuine love for them, which is certainly not healthy. Really, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Here we get a paralleled dynamic, but it's not fleshed out nearly as well.Ħ/10 and what pushed it over the 5 was the banging 70's or 80's exclusive soundtrack.It seems like lots of people are excited now that Minions: The Rise of Gru has been released. But one thing that makes Despicable Me shine is building the relationship between Gru and the kids. Which is kinda like a minions thing, where everything just ends up working out for them. I don't feel like any of the objectives or arcs in the movie were well earned. Wasted climax IMO.Īlan Arkin is doing his thing and the only side cast member who's not under-utilized. But we focus so solely on four specific minions. Like, the whole point of minions is there's a fuckton of them, and this is the minions movie. It is insane to me that when Belle said at the end, 'You and what army?' that they didn't get all the minions there for that scene.

The way it comes together is both not super interesting and very predictable. The plot doesn't need to be up for best screenplay or whatever, but the way it is it's just an excuse to have this fun. Steve Carrell is really one note here, no one has a very interesting arc, the fun casting of JCVD and Yeoh and Lundgren and Trejo all feels wasted because we're focused on minions who speak baby spanish. It works because we all know minions are kinda dumb, not just in concept but they aren't smart creatures, so it's fun to just do all this dumb fun stuff with them.īut, when I think of what's wasted here it's kind of a shame. The minions song renditions, the James Bond opener, the hilarious casting of the villains including JCVD playing a Frenchman with a lobster claw named Jean Clawed, and the dumb humor. He's framed and moves exactly how I imagine Waluigi would in the Mario movie.ĭefinitely at its best when it's having fun. But especially after that airplane scene, it's established this movie doesn't take itself seriously at all so it's not a big deal lolĪlso Illumination has Waluigi's body and movements down perfectly with the Wild Knuckles character in this movie lol. I know he'd probably be dead by the time Despicable Me 4 takes place, but I'd love to see him again in that film, somehow.īiggest flaw to me was the final fight + how useless the kung fu side plot was, when what they never use 99% of what they were taught and just pull the super powerful freak-out mode out of their ass. Highlights were Gru and Wild Knuckles, I liked their dynamic. Don't think I would rewatch this one though. The callforwards to the first Despicable Me was the bulk of my enjoyment here, to be honest. Fun cameos and I got pretty much all of the references/cameos despite not having watched DM1 in a loooong time (want to rewatch it now). Especially if you're a fan of the first Despicable Me, as they tie things back to that one in this prequel. It's nothing groundbreaking but it's fun, mildly entertaining and worth a watch. It laid the foundation for why Gru would 'turn good' later in his life much more seamlessly.

That paralleled how Gru charged in to Vector's lab to save the 3 kids, perhaps subconsciously because he was thinking 'what would my favorite villain do if kid me was in trouble?'. Or how Wild Knuckles risked his life trying to selflessly save Gru from the supervillains. In particular, how he became Wild Knuckles' emotional support, when he was all alone and demotivated.

Rather, from a really early age he learned the importance of being part of a team and not alone.Īnd he learned the concept of 'found family' early on in life too. So for example, Gru wasn't just a narcissistic supervillain who randomly fell in love with 3 orphans. But I thought this added some depth / believability to the first Despicable Me for example (which me and my daughter watched last weekend), and some of the choices Gru makes there. I do prefer the family cuteness of Gru and his kids in the Despicable Me series.
