Customer Ratings & Reviews

Our family are fans of the Minions franchise. Our grandchildren, in particular, just love Bob & Kevin, so selecting this Blu-ray/DVD combo was an easy choice. We were not disappointed once we popped the DVD into our notebook PC for our granddaughter. She loved it. My husband and I recognized the songs chosen for the musical score right away as they were longtime favorites. To that end if you're a minions fan like us, proceed with confidence in your purchase decision. You'll be glad you did.

We bought the LG UF8500 65" television and the first one we brought home was cracked across the screen and had a spider web crack at the bottom of the screen. The second one we took home had what looked like a bubble on the top right corner of the screen and when we turned it on there were lines running up and down on the screen. The picture wasn't viewable so we had to pack up our 2nd television and once again return it. So we were a little reluctant to take a third one home, but finally I think we have a good one. At least this one wasn't damaged and so far it's working well in its first week! It has a great picture so I hope it holds up.

This is personally my least favorite of the Minions movies, when counting Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2. I think that's because when the Minions speak I hear jibber jabber. BUT, I love the Despicable Me movies, which my kids have purchased for me for past Christmas presents. My son loves this one, which is why I purchased as a Christmas present for him. Seems like a lot of stuff at the movies and on TV for kids to watch isn't really appropriate, but I grew up in the 80s when The Bad News Bears was PG, so what do I know. There are a lot worse things that he could be watching right now, so I will deal with Minion jibber jabber.

Another great addition to the "Despicable Me" series. The minions are hysterical, and the plot is fun and exciting. It was nice to see the origins of the minions and their various bosses throughout history, and the addition of many villains gave the movie a thrilling aspect. And Bob is just adorable! It was also great to see a young Gru get his start. This was a fabulous movie that anyone who is a fan of the series or animated comedies in general will love.

For characters that do not speak English they do quite a good job of entertaining with great nostalgia music for the adults. I was the skeptic because of how idiotic the characters work but after watching it a few times they grew on me.The story is actually well done even though they are minions. Definitely worth a watch through

This is the perfect prequel to the Despicable Me series, the Mionions are adorable and hilarious, though never fully explained 100% but enough so that you get a kick out of their wacky evolution. And it even touches on how they came to work for Gru, which is priceless. The cast is stellar, the movie really holds the attention of kids without any slow points, and if you like goofy hijinx, it's full of them!

My son loves anything with Minions. This was another that met his demand. It has 3D blu ray, blu ray, DVD, and a code for a digital copy. Unfortunately, you need iTunes for the digital copy. That is the only drawback. And when you DL the movie to a Windows 10 computer with iTunes, it will NOT playback in high definition for some reason. Only drawback. Otherwise, you can DL the movie in standard definition to any device with iTunes.

If you loved Despicable Me and it's sequel, you'll love this story of how the Minions came to be Gru's henchmen. They are the same cute, funny, irrepressible guys that have no filter and dare to do anything, anywhere. This great story takes you from the prehistoric age to present day villainy. And the extras are always wonderful to watch! You don't have to be a kid (or even have any) to love this movie.

If you liked 'Despicable Me 1 or 2', you'll like this movie. Tie-in at the end to 'Despicable Me' villain. Fortunately, the writers kept the dumb & dumber type moments to a minimum. Most of the stupid actions lead to funny results, with the jokes often having two levels, one for adults & one for children. The extras offer added value to the main movie. I'd recommend this as a stocking stuffer, despite lots of cartoon violence.

Gru, and specifically his transition from bad guy to good guy is really what ultimately made Despicable Me 1 and 2 the quality that they are, but his back up in the minions are SOLID. So having their own film was obvious and seemed like a sure thing. Sadly, they quality of the writing fell a bit short and the film suffered for it. Ultimate a good film, but I wouldn't pick it over either prequel any day of the week. I did laugh out loud a few times though, and in some scenes, laugh out loud every time, so that's really saying something.

I love the little yellow guys but when the movie "Minions" came out, my 27 yr old son said it was a waste of money. I listened because he just graduated college with a degree in fine arts having studied movies. Well his girlfriend wanted to see it so they rented it from Red box and my son changed his tune and said he liked it better than the Despicable Me movies. I love it and have recommended it to a lot of people.

Minions is fun for everyone and a thousand times over in 3D (too bad 3D is being phased out in the US as a novelty.. that's a poor excuse for poor marketing and education on the tech.) The only film of the many I own I liked more was Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 in 3D. The 3D animator or cameramen etc make all the difference, this was well done. Funny.

My son is obsessed with minions and my wife and i actually enjoys them as well. This story of the minions is great!

Okay, so this movie is 75% gibberish and it made $150 million over its premiere weekend (go figure!) It's one of the zaniest movies, but it's really enjoyable - almost as good as the Despicable Me movies (which I love!). If you're a Despicable Me fan, you'll enjoy this film. The voices of Sandra Bullock and Jon Hamm are nice additions too. Highly recommended.

Universal Studios & Illumination Entertainment outdone themselves when they made this movie. It is very funny I busted my gut laughing at the outrageous stuff that went on in this movie. Even though it was computer graphics, it was extremely well done and they had some high profile actors for the spoken parts. I highly recommend this movie to the applicable audience and above. You will not regret it.

A lot of people have said that they thought this movie was bad but I think they may say that because they were expecting a movie that was EXACTLY like the original Despicable Me. You need to realize that this is it's own movie. It isn't Despicable Me, it's Minions. If you understand that they're different then you'll love this movie.

I was initially let down by Minions when I saw it at the theater, as it confirmed my suspicion that making these lovable supporting characters the central figures of a feature length film was a questionable idea. But the film is more likeable on subsequent viewings, especially if you break it up across 2 or 3 sittings. The mini-movies are as entertaining as those included on the Despicable Me Blurays. The behind the scenes content is interesting, and the menus themselves are fun to view and navigate.

Can't go on a day without saying a minion line. This movie is suited for both kids and adult. Even adults without kids. I like the time line with narration considering that we can't understand the little twinkie looking characters. You laugh, you don't cry, and then laugh again. I've seen it more times than any other cartoon movies. Blu-ray is best of course and got a free lunch bag from bestbuy.

Best Buy has this playing in the store every time we go in and we finally decided to buy it. So worth it if you enjoy Despicable Me and were already a fan, but even if you didn't see DM, if you like the animated comedy genre, this is a great one too add to the collection. Great animation and The story is funny. I thought the Minion speak might get a little old, but it wasn't over done.

I got this version of the movie specifically for the 3D aspect of it. I wanted to try out the new 3D update on PSVR. the movie over all is great, hilarious and kids love it. the product comes with so many versions of the film. that is one plus not only do you get the bluray and 3d bluray but also the dvd version and digital version to watch anywhere you want.
