While 2015's Minions was more of a haphazard mess, The Rise of Gru has a much stronger narrative. This is the story about how Gru pursued his life of villainy at such a young age. Since the first Minions ended with the lovable trouble-makers finding Gru, the Minions sequel is appropriately Minions: The Rise of Gru. A local theater of mine still has the teaser poster up outside the theater that they hung over two years ago it's now a sad, whiteish-yellow and wrinkled sight. for two years (earlier this year, it was even suggested the film wouldn't release until 2023, but thankfully they changed their minds about that). But as the movie ends, the minions meet Gru when he's still just a little kid, and so begins their journey with one of the world's most beloved supervillains.įive years later, in 2020, fans were promised a Minions sequel, but the pandemic scare derailed its release. The movie is downright silly (and sometimes needlessly crass), and definitely a departure from the Despicable series. After unsuccessful pairings with Dracula, a T-Rex, and other villains, they found Scarlet Overkill, who is delightfully voiced by Sandra Bullock. The movie is kind of all over the place it feels like a collection of ideas and skits strung together as a journey for the minions to find the ultimate villain for them to follow. The movie was an attempt to give the beloved yellow, gibberish-talking minions from the Despicable Me franchise an origin story, taking them all the way back to their creation at the dawn of time. I'm actually not quite sure when I saw the Minions movie that had released in 2015, but when I did, it kind of just had confirmed my original decision to not see it in theaters.
