I really liked it, the first 30 minutes of the movie is pure genius and hilarious. The part at Villian Con is fun too, but I was hoping they'd show more of what goes on there than just showing off how great of a villian Scarlet is. It would have been great to see a rival supervillian compete with Scarlet for attention, but I thought the way they left it was perfectly fine. Scarlet herself was an enjoyable character, but her backstory was a little messy and Sandra Bullock didn't quite seem like a good match (I think maybe someone like Melissa McCartney or Tina Fey would had been a better fit for her), but I really liked Jon Hamm as Scarlet's husband Herb, who did a great job pulling off that hippy-60s casual guy (I found the nicknames he gave to the Minions were hilairous). When the movie hit London, the pace kind of got all over the place, but it recovered by the final battle scene, and the last 10 minutes of the movie is also the funniest part of the movie (and there's a special cameo too!)  Overall, I give Minions a soild 8/10, it's not as fresh and funny as the first two Despicable Me and lacks the heart of characters that those movies had, but Minions showed that the title characters are front-leading worthy, and will probably always stay hilarious. Highly Recommended for all Despicable Me fans and in regular, fans of animation/comedy everywhere. I have high hopes for DM3, and Secret Life of Pets looks to be Illumination best film yet outside of the Despicable Me franchise.

Also, STAY FOR THE END CREDITS!!!
