As a Despicable Me fans, I knew that I gotta watch the latest movie of Despicable Me. Illumination Studio just released more excitement of Minions in their latest animation movie, MINIONS. The story is basically prequel before they met Gru. Once the movie released, Minion Toys in McDonald are stampeded by their loyal fans and being sold out in most of McD outlets.
I just watched this movie yesterday and my thoughts about this movie is..

PLOT:
Minions are small, yellow pill-like creatures who have existed since the beginning of time, evolving from single-celled organisms into beings who have only one purpose: to serve history's most despicable masters. But after accidentally destroying all their masters, including a T. Rex, a caveman, an Egyptian pharaoh, a medieval king, a pirate captain, Genghis Khan, Napoleon and Dracula, they decide to isolate themselves from the world and start a new life in Antarctica. By 1968, the lack of a master drives them into depression, so one Minion named Kevin comes up with a plan to find a new one for his people. The rebellious teenage Minion Stuart volunteers to join Kevin by accident, while the lovable kid Minion Bob joins by begging Kevin, who thought he was too young.
After a long journey, the Minions arrive at New York 42 years B.G (Before Gru), where they learn that Villain-Con, a villain convention where supervillains from around the world gather to search for henchmen, was to be held in Orlando, Florida. They manage to hitch a ride to Orlando. Coincidentally, the family who drove them there were criminals heading to Villain-Con as well. The Minions were impressed by some of the villains, including a sumo wrestler and an aquatic supervillain called Frankie Fish Lips. In the end, they attempted to become the henchmen for Scarlet Overkill, the world's first female supervillain. Hundreds of audience members rush on stage to participate in Scarlet's challenge, but they are eliminated easily by the supervillain. Amidst the confusion, Bob wins the challenge by swapping Scarlet's ruby with his teddy bear, Tim. Scarlet declares the Minions her new henchmen.

MY THOUGHTS:
To be honest this 3rd movie is the least favorite of Despicable Me series for me. The story line is quite good but so boring, not as fun as the first movie. Personally I think this movie is kinda inappropriate for kids. Come to think of it, why this movie taught kids to be bad and evil as villains from Villain-Con? Well, I hardly get morale lesson from this movie as well..
So my advice is, if you want to watch this movie, go ahead. But, you shouldn't watch it on weekend or Premier Studio, or you only would throw your money for worth-less movie. Jurassic World is pretty much worthier to be seen on weekend of Premier Studio, compared to Minions.
Pros (+)
+ Entertaining
+ Funny
+ Nice and smooth graphic
Cons (-)
- Quite boring
- Very minimal morale lesson
- Kinda inappropriate for kids

Just because it has yellow midgets in the movie doesn't mean it has to be aimed at younger kids.
@Thomas: I agree, but 90% kids that I know watch this movie.
