Young Gru (Steve Carrell) and his Minions and is on a journey to earn his supervillain status in The Rise of Gru (Universal) The Battle Within Minions: The Rise of Gru They did a perfect job making this a story in an era that I wanted to see, but there’s this constant THING that gets in the way of the thorough success of this film. Little quirks like the truncated secret lab, and the minimal gadget – it’s all great. The cute way the film portrays a smaller and less–legitimized Gru ( Steve Carrell) is very well done, too. The implementation of choice settings like San Francisco allows the action to use those winding mountainous hills to great effect. The sharp edges of the Despicable Me villain aesthetic clashing with the trademark overly-round Illumination animation style is as stunning as ever. However, just because it isn’t wholly unique doesn’t mean it doesn’t have any redeeming qualities. There wasn’t, but the movie decided to turn back into an average Illumination film, lacking anything interesting or unique from a visual standpoint. So much so, that I jumped to the conclusion that there must’ve been a large time jump. The opening made a very distinct decision, but once that opening comes to a close, all of those unique flares are dropped. Although, it’s not a stylistic choice that lasts through the entire film.

From the very first frame of the movie, the whole thing is dripping in delicious and groovy colors. Minions: The Rise of Gru taps into an electric style, rooted in its 70s setting. Now here I am, writing a movie review for the Minions movie. Then, to my surprise, I found myself with more and more things to say about this film. But, there we were, on a Saturday, with nothing to do after lunch somehow we all landed on this.

I’ll admit, this wasn’t something exactly on my radar, nor was it even something I was expecting to see in theaters. Minions: The Rise of Gru has finally come to theaters after 2 years of delays thanks to the pandemic.
