They always speak strange languages that people can't understand. They like to pretend to play all kinds of careers and have the talent to screw everything up. Every time they appear on the stage, they just make the audience laugh.
Yes, you are talking about an animated character-Minions.
A film "Despicable Me" seven years ago broke through the traditional routine of Hollywood animation, making a bad character the protagonist of the film and the dark horse of the box office at that time. As a supporting role, Minions succeeded in stealing the camera.
Because of Minions's wonderful performance, the second part of the series occupied more scenes. However, the surprise and freshness it brought dropped sharply, especially in "Thief Dad 2", the big bad guy actually began to turn over a new leaf! Since the first film was not introduced to the mainland, the China audience who saw Minions for the first time on the big screen also ignited a Minions fever, and the mainland made 324 million box office.
In 2005, Minions also independently released the derivative series "Big Eye Minions". However, in such a film with a slave as the protagonist, the story is ignored, and everything is for the sake of selling cute, and it has not achieved a higher reputation. However, this did not affect the audience's love for Minions, which made 436 million box office in mainland China.
Recently, Stealing Dad 3 was released in Chinese mainland. It's been four years since Dad Thief 2 was released, and two years since Minions's Eyes Are Big, but it didn't bring much joy of "reunion after a long separation".
Even if Minions returns to the supporting role this time, judging from Douban's score, this series of films also shows a downward trend, from 8.5 in Despicable Me to only 7 in Thief Dad 3. Overseas IMDB scores, rotten tomato freshness 62%, popcorn index 66%, all barely passed.
The following "Stealing Dad 3" is a high-energy spoiler.
The plot of this film begins with a failed mission of returning to justice's father Gru. After failing to catch Brad, he was expelled from the league, but unexpectedly learned that he had a twin brother.
So Gru set out to find his "silly white sweet" brother, and then the two brothers teamed up against the villain Brad; After getting back the big diamond, the Gru brothers had a little conflict about Gru's future (whether to be a good person or a bad person), and then Brad pretended to be his mother to get back the diamond and kidnapped three little daughters.
Then there was the battle to save her daughter. Brad started the robot and defeated the daddy Gru again. At the critical moment, Gru destroyed Blatter's robot and saved his life!
Judging from the feedback from the audience, this film mainly focuses on the following aspects.
1. In addition to the main story of Gru Li Qian's search for relatives and brothers to unite against the villain, there are many other branches in the film, including the declassification of the life story of the villain Brad, the family history of Gru Drew's brothers, and how Gru's wife Lucy became a good mother. There are too many auxiliary lines in the story, which have no special connection with the main line, resulting in a loose plot and no focus, giving people the feeling that it is only 90 minutes.
Secondly, the "father-recognizing routine" ranges from the Star Wars series to the recent Guards of the Galaxy 2, Pirates of the Caribbean 5, Wolverine 3 and so on. This time, "Stealing Dad 3" has become a routine to recognize brothers. I don't know when Hollywood blockbusters have completely lacked innovation. In order to earn the feelings of the audience, only the relatives are left.
Third, following the movie Minions with Big Eyes, starring Minions and Minions once again returned to the supporting role in Thief Dad 3. But what makes people angry is that the appearance of Minions does not affect the plot. It seems that Minions, which has been neglected for a long time, may become the most criticized point.
"Stealing Dad 3" is one of the few imported films in the domestic protection month. Although the film has some shortcomings in the plot, we can see wandering minions and huge squares singing and dancing. In this hot summer, it's enough to laugh at Minions on the big screen!
