So having navigated their way around the Big Apple, the inane triumvirate hook up with a likeable family of bank robbers, and head to VillainCon in Orlando in search of the world’s first female super-villain – Scarlett Overkill.īut, as voiced by Sandra Bullock, Overkill is something of a dud, the character lacking in personality and one-liners, which makes it frustrating that her dastardly schemes quickly become the focus of the movie.

Because the Minions work best when left to their own devices, with no human as funny or downright strange as these lovable oddballs.īut, with the filmmakers perhaps fearing that they wouldn’t be able to carry a feature on their own, the bulk of the movie takes place in New York, Florida and London – in 1968 for reasons that aren’t entirely clear – and features lots of interaction with human characters who simply aren’t as amusing as their yellow co-stars.
That’s the set-up for the movie, and probably the film’s strongest section. He’ll set sail for lands anew with fellow Minions Stuart (attention-seeking, one eye) and Bob (eager, optimistic, dumb), in search of the biggest, baddest villain on the planet. But finding a boss is easy, it’s keeping said boss that’s hard, so-much-so that when a series of baddies die in unfortunate circumstances, they retreat to Antarctica to experiment with a master-free existence.īut without a scoundrel to serve, the Minions become aimless and depressed, inspiring one of their number – Kevin (tall, bossy) – to come up with a plan.
Via Geoffrey Rush voiceover and a bunch of hilarious visual gags, we therefore witness them evolve through the ages, the Minions locating and serving villains during the Jurassic era, the Stone Age, in Ancient Egypt and through the Dark Ages.
