Minions: The Rise of Gru is a fun, energetic, and laugh-out-loud prequel that dives into the origins of everyone’s favorite villain, Gru. Directed by Kyle Balda, this 2022 Illumination film brings back the mischievous Minions for another chaotic adventure filled with action, humor, and plenty of banana-loving madness.

Set in the 1970s, the film follows a young Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) as he dreams of becoming the world’s greatest supervillain. When he tries to join the legendary villain group, the Vicious 6, things don’t go as planned, and Gru suddenly finds himself on the run. With the help of his loyal Minions—Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and the hilarious newcomer Otto—Gru embarks on an action-packed journey filled with kung fu training, heists, and unexpected friendships.

The animation is vibrant and stylish, capturing the funky 70s vibe with bright colors, retro music, and crazy action sequences. The Minions steal the show with their classic slapstick comedy, adorable gibberish, and non-stop antics. The new villains, especially Belle Bottom (Taraji P. Henson), bring fresh energy to the film, while Gru’s backstory adds depth to his character.

While Minions: The Rise of Gru is primarily aimed at kids, there’s plenty of humor for adults, thanks to clever references and a fantastic soundtrack featuring hits from the 70s. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, making it a perfect lighthearted family film.

Final Verdict: A fun, fast-paced, and hilarious adventure that delivers everything you’d expect from a Minions movie—pure chaos and joy!
