    I wanna think that to myself all day: Belle Bottom...Belle Bottom...
    I never got sick of the minions but neither was I a huge fan. This is more about Gru than them though there is a lot of fan service.

    This was everything I really wanted it to be really. Vibrant, funny, witty, colorful and with tons of personality. It's a fantasia of the 1970s and pulls no punches with its cast of puntastic villain names and at the core of it is a story of proving your worth on both ends of the time line and the bonding of boy and his hero.

    The thing I didn't like was that acupuncturist who was just over-powered and annoyed me.

    So yeah, more a Despicable Me prequel than a Minions 2.
