Daughter loved it. Also only cost $5 on Black Friday

The minions are yellow so yet a hotdog with mustard

These weird creatures are great and full of action!!

Kids love it they now have full collection on minion movies to watch when they come over

Great movie for the kids, if you liked the other movies then you’ll be enjoy it. Great 3d.

Minions works just fine as a colorful diversion that will satisfy the kids. In fact, it'll probably delight them. But in a marketplace filled with terrific animated movies that both kids and adults can love for their own reasons, Minions leaves the older crowd in the cold, catering exclusively to those more enticed by sight and sound than story depth and purpose. That's not a bad thing, and there's a reason why the movie cleaned up at the box office: it knows its audience and delivers what its audience wants. It's just a bit more focused on its younger audience's immediate wants and needs rather than trying to expand into a multigenerational classic. Universal's Blu-ray release of Minions delivers high end video and audio. An fair amount of brief extras are included. Recommended.

Good entertainment for family viewing that the whole family can appreciate.

Hysterical a must have in the children's movie collection

My wife and I both enjoyed the movie. It’s funny. It’s a must watch

I bought this for my Granddaughter who liked it! She loves cartoons!

Despicable Me is a cute movie, with a decent but overdone story about a cold-hearted villain who adopts 3 girls to steal a shrink ray, only for him to fall in love with the girls and turning him into a softie. Not exactly original or as well-done as other films of its ilk, but it had an ace up its sleeve. The minions. These barely understandable jaundiced creatures who are extremely clumsy stole the show and created a huge juggernaut of toys, video games, stickers, food items and et cetera. 3 years later, Despicable Me 2 released, was an even bigger hit but is a lesser movie, mainly due to a bland story (yet again) and a bigger emphasis on the minions, losing the focus of the main characters. 2015 saw the release of our main focus today, Minions, and with the main focus on the Minions and their origin story, will it be great or just a marketing scheme? Apparently the minions have been around since the beginning of time, serving the most evil creatures and people of their time; everything from the mighty T-Rex to Napoleon, they have been subservient to evil only for them to muck it up and cause great ruin to their reigns. Banished to Antarctica, they finally find peace, but that slowly wanes to total boredom with no one to serve. 3 minions, Kevin, Stuart & Bob are sent to find a new master, where they end up in 1968 New York, during which they stay the night in a department store and watch some TV, unknowingly tuning into a secret signal advertising a villains convention in Orlando, Florida. There they find their new master, Scarlett Overkill (Sandra Bullock, in her first villainous role) who has plans to steal the crown jewels of England so she can become the new Queen of England. The minions decide to steal the crown, with a minion accidentally becoming the new king. Scarlett plots to steal them for herself, and potentially rule the world. Will the minions stop Scarlett, will they save the world and will the minions hype machine ever stop? After grossing over $330 million here in the US and over a billion dollars worldwide, its gonna trudge on full steam ahead for the foreseeable future. How did I feel about the film? Eh, its easily the worst Despicable Me film in the franchise, but its not all bad, just very mediocre in the greatest sense of the word. The biggest drawback is the main stars themselves, the minions. The minions work better as side characters due to their lack of character. Yes, they are cute and are unique, but beyond that, do they serve any purpose beyond laughs? The story is bland, the characters are poorly developed, the humor isn't up to par (even for a kids film) and the whole affair screams "cash grab" with the smallest iota of effort brought forth for the movie. At least the animation is nice and colorful, the film moves along at a nice clip to prevent boredom, but this is not one worth owning without kids in the house. Even then, I recommend something else entirely better than Minions. Luckily the PQ/AQ doesn't suffer the same fate as the movie as this is a high quality digital-to-digital transfer. The image is sharp, colorful and very detailed and is demo-worthy on a nice OLED TV. The 3D is just as detailed and colorful, with plenty of depth and some nice pop-out moments that add to the fun and is also worthy of demo-ing. The AQ is also worthy of praise, with the Dolby Atmos (7.1 Dolby TruHD core) that is excellent in every sense. Extras are surprisingly limp though with the main feature is the 3 mini-Minion movies (Also in 3D disc, but only in 2D), which are cute but nothing more. Also included is a deleted scene, an interactive map that contains several featurettes and photos, a 5-part featurette about the making the movie, a Jingle Bells minion remix video and a preview for The Secret Life of Pets, all in HD. A DVD and a digital HD copy is also included, topping off a pretty but shallow set. Overall, a mediocre movie with mediocre extras but excellent specs and terrific 3D, its worth it for demo purposes but nothing more.

This movie was fun and adventurous with the little minions.

Easily one of my favorite movies of the year, as well as my girlfriend (who this was purchased for). The movie goes back in time to show the origin of this goofy species of creatures and shows their successes and failures of finding the perfect boss...From pre-historic times and ancient Egypt, to the 1960's/70's follow Bob, Stuart and Kevin all over the world. The movie comes with a digital copy that can be redeemed and watched on the go through a proprietary format or if you're savvy enough to make your own digital copy, you've got a DVD as well to make it happen. Worth the purchase? Oh yeah. Hilarious movie to add to the collection and one that will be cherished for years to come.

Vey good movie my daughter loves the minions good quality

To me, this doesn't quite measure up to the original or even the second Despicable Me. Now I understand this is focused on minions rather than the central villain character, but the premise of the movie Remains the Same - quirky characters, simple plot and humor that's targeting a wide range of ages. The movie does not disappoint but is certainly not the best in the franchise. I have to admit, I bought this movie Mostly for the 3D aspect. It is above average but on par with other despicable Me's comma and not as good as some DreamWork titles or Sammy's movies. The color pallet is bright and pops vividly on my active Samsung LED and Vivitek H1186 3D projector.

had a good time watching this with my kids, he loved it

If you like the Despicable Me movies, you'll like Minions. It's not as good as the others, but likeable. If the film makers left the evolution theory out and I would have given a better rating. Some of the humor was stretched out too long as well.

My son loves this movie so much he won't let it go

Minions is a great addition to the "Despicable Me" movies, filling in what happened to the Minions before they worked for Gru. It ends with the point in time when they first meet him. While the movie is a lot of fun and the story is enjoyable, I myself rate it slightly below the Despicable Me movies. It didn't have quite as much feeling and depth that the others did, and when covering portions of the Minions past history, it felt quite rushed. Meanwhile, other parts seemed to drag a bit. While I liked it, especially in 3D, I really thought they could have done a lot better with the story than they did. Again, the 1st 2 movies with Gru were the best. (The potential of working a story of where the Minions came from, fell far short of what it could have been.) While disappointing, it was still worth seeing.

We saw this movie in the theater and decided to add it to our home collection. It was amazing...watching this movie was like being instantly transported back to the theater. We turned down the lights, I filled up a mop bucket with Coke, We gorged ourselves on greasy popcorn, someone kept kicking my chair, I had to use the restroom part way through and missed an essential scene, and my daughter started talking on her phone during the movie. But I saved a bunch of money, and my shoes don't stick to the floor like they do in the theater. I guess the movie was funny too.
