Minions Movie

I am a big fan of this yellow creatures and therefore when it was released I immediately went for the first slot available, and I even decided to watch it before I return to Penang since my flight departs at night. Minions could be considered a prequel to Despicable Me, and it very briefly shows how the minions first appeared, rather smoothly found their masters to serve (which basically is the sole purpose of their mere existence) and tragically lost all of them. Then after a long time they decide to travel to find a new master after momentarily gave up due to repeated failure to serve properly and found Scarlett Overkill. And so it goes on. The movie itself is rather entertaining though a bit dull if compared to Despicable Me but still it manages to give good laugh to the audience. Insertion of elements from the legendary King Arthur seems out of place and a bit absurd but at least the storyline flows well. The best part of the movie has got to be the part where one of the minions actually spoke "Terima kasih". To hear Malay being spoken in a Hollywood movie this big is simply jaw-dropping and everyone in the theatre was literally caught off guard. Overall, great movie!
