Minions (2015)
Despicable Me (2010) -and its sequel, Despicable Me 2 (2013), is the animated film has enough uniqueness. First, the film makes a villain as the protagonist, although is made ridiculous and still have a heart to the theme of family is quite thick. Second, the main figures of the film was even less well-known than the characters aides, called the minion. With the form, the doings, and the language of cute adorable, the minion become a new star in the world of animation. Naturally, this opportunity was used by the animation studio Illumination Entertainment to create a movie spin-off called Minions, giving place to the yellow creature appeared in front.
Minions conceived as a prequel of Despicable Me, as well as the story of the origins of the minion. Minions was indeed created to serve and admire anyone who strongest-that usually are criminals. They are always looking for such figures to be the boss. Ranging from Tyrannosaurus rex in ancient, medieval Dracula, until Napoleon Bonaparte in the 19th century. Unfortunately, they often lose their bosses because of their own carelessness.
Life without meaning and purpose because it did not have a boss, three minion named Kevin, Stuart, and Bob (all voiced Pierre Coffin) do odyssey looking for a new boss. They reached the United States, and knowing there was a convention of the criminals from all over the world, featuring Scarlett Overkill (Sandra Bullock), which is touted as the greatest villain today. Three minion is also trying to make Scarlett as their bosses, although they had to do quite heavy conditions: steal the crown of the Queen of England.
Minions is one example of a film that is immune to criticism. However the quality of the film, the film will still be welcomed crowded. Frankly, the story is not the main selling materials of the existence of this film. Illumination Entertainment (and studio Universal Pictures) already know very well the market share of their property this one, the children and their parents, who will surely be interested in just seeing the minion is acting on the big screen. Good or poor quality, which is important the existence of these minions stronger and lifted again. Or in another language, it could be a momentum to increase sales of its merchandise.
The story of the origin of the minion who finally met with Gru (the main character in Despicable Me) can actually be done with a short, maybe even fit in a short film. However, because the value of the minions are very high to be sold, of course a pity if only made short films. Unfortunately, the opportunity to make a longer movie does not encourage the manufacturer to make the story more contained.
With equal humor, movie Despicable Me before at least trying to bring family values and acceptance between Gru with the arrival of three orphans. Meanwhile, the Minions it as just a set of sketch comedy of the minion who spliced-connect, entertain a moment without moments that really worth remembering. This film does not have something that can make the minion is preferable than before, in addition to regular laughter each see their silliness with his slapstick humor, which is also not surprising.
It should be recognized that a number of times humor was successful. Besides cuteness minion, the film also slipped Mockery humor that may be more pervasive in the adult audiences-especially how the film made a habit caricature Englishman who likes to drink tea and speak politely. The film is also packed with animated graphics are very smooth and clean, and the design of the characters and objects are interesting and colorful. However, like sweet drinks with artificial coloring and sugar are not healthy for the body, what does it mean humor and interesting pictures without a strong story and characterization. Even when the story moved to the moment the minion given power and was not able to because of their nature are devoted-also evaporated without a trace.
However, once again, because this film was obviously made just to make the audience flocked to buy tickets to the movie theater to laugh and feel passionately alone, Minions not completely "innocent" of the shortfall. Minions managed by naked eyes, fun and entertaining when seen, although it is the sensation that just got there. This film is like a pass away without giving trace means, other than the suggestion to buy toys and ornaments minion only.
