  when i say i would die for my daughter, it doesn't only mean i would give her a vital organ or make her drink the last of the water in a desert or take her place in front of an oncoming speeding vehicle or pull her out of a burning building. it also means i will die thousands upon thousands of small deaths - i watched the seconds of my life tick slowly away as i endured the mind-numbing boredom of watching an infant attempt a simple puzzle, i took years off my life when i made myself sick with lack of sleep or stress or worry, i feel a pain close to death as i stand and make awkward…

  To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand an arthouse film like Minions (2015). The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of minion-ese most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Stuart's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterization and his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about BANANA. As a consequence people who dislike Minions truly ARE idiots of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humor in Bob's existential catchphrase…

  11/100

  Well, fuck.

  OK, so I didn't have any expectations for this, but considering how much I enjoyed the two Despicable Me installments, and especially the moments with the minions, I thought I would enjoy myself.

  I made an unspeakable, vile, agonizing, shitty mistake.

  From the opening Universal logo and theme, sung by the minions with their usual glee, I felt like I was beamed into a special corner of Hell, handcrafted and designed just for me. A headache instantly stung and crept into the crevices of my head, and there I was, listening to gibberish for the next 90 minutes. With not even an inch of interesting story development and quite possibly the worst villain that I've ever seen…

  I'm going to be 100% honest, I watched the version of this without minions. I'm fucking logging it because I would rather die than watch the real version. Fuck you Illumination Entertainment

  Who doesn't love the adorable Minions?

  This is not a good film, but it is a good "enough" film. However, the film is very cute and has an excellent animation style. It appears to be cute enough to be memorable, especially seeing the Minions participate in activities in things they are seeing for the first time. My favorite scene was the opening sequence, which detailed how the Minions came to be and all of their previous "bosses'" failed ventures. What lets the film down for me is that there isn't much substance to the story, and the singing and silliness get boring after a while. There are a few songs and brief musical numbers that start out funny and endearing but…

  What's yellow and will kill you if you swallow it?

  What's yellow and can be jumped on repeatedly?

  What's yellow and will leave you brain dead and stare in amazement at your kids as they seem to enjoy the shit out of watching it and/or you watching it and suffering in utter agony?

  
  Empty. Uninspired. Vacant. Cheap.

  part 2/3 of my "accidentally awful movie marathon"

  hell is real. i witnessed it firsthand laying in the back of a pickup truck at a drive in, staring at the stars and hoping a ufo would appear out of the sky to abduct me as the minions jabbered on in the background. it's a miracle i fell asleep.
