Minion: The Rise of Gru
What a disappointment this was, and quite frankly I was bored from start to finish!
Yet again the script writers have failed to glean from the original movie what was the magical element that made this franchise a success. Clearly is was the strength of story, brilliant and inventive animation, and well drawn and memorable characters. Here the story was tissue thin, Gru's family was all but missing, there was little reason for things to happen, and the animation was largely uninventive with just repetition from earlier movies.
What was key in the original movie what the strong relationship ties between the characters, at best they were casual acquaintances in this movie.
Nobody liked it except the children who seem mesmerised by the Minions, clearly easily pleased.
For me this is a 5 outta 10, barely a screensaver!
