Maybe it's a bit better than the first movie, but still the story is very generic.
What improves from the first film is the essence of the Minions and Gru, which is executed in a convincing way, but the entire story is full of well-known and well-used plots and subplots, from the relationship between the main characters, passing through the antagonists, the predictable ending, until the climax of the film. It is a story that we have already seen many times, adding too many subplots that do not end up impacting the story and that we know how they will end, and with a totally known and predictable ending, I even stopped focusing my attention during the last 10 minutes since I knew how would it all end. The cameos feel very forced, and while some parts of the story fill in script holes from previous movies, they open up new plot holes in the franchise at the same time. Although at first I thought it was funny and throughout the whole movie there were quite funny jokes, there were other jokes that I did not understand and that did not make me laugh at all.
I really like the Minions, just like the first movies in the franchise, but since the first solo Minions movie came out, everything has gone downhill, and this installment is no exception, mainly because of the unoriginal story and that we have seen many times before.
