In case you didn't know before. This movie has been in the top 3 movies in the Pandemic era. With this in mind. Is Minions: Rise Of Gru really that good? Or was the hype around the memes what caused the movie to get the views? In my opinion. The movie was good compared to the previous instalments. I wouldn’t say it was my favorite but it was definitely good. Now here I will give a more in depth review.

Plot:
With the story being the continuation of the first Minions movie but before the events of Despicable Me. Minions: Rise of Gru (MRoG from now on) tells a story of young Gru before he was known as everyone's favorite villain, as he embarks on an adventure to meet his idol. Not by choice but because he got kidnapped. He got himself in a predicament when he tried to join a team of elite villains in order to accomplish his dream of being, dare I say, Despicable. He got rejected for being a kid which then led to him stealing from the elite team of villains in order to prove himself as capable of joining them. However they took that as a threat and went after him. Of course his idol ,(name here), was kicked out of the elite team for being too old despite him being the creator of the team. He then decides to go after Gru to get the item he stole. This way he can get his revenge on his former colleagues.

Final Thoughts:
In all honesty I would say watch the movie once if you enjoyed the previous installments. The memes definitely overhyped the movie quite a bit and that is probably why people aren't really watching the movie anymore or aren't talking about it anymore. With the whole ban on people who watched the movie in suits it made people quickly realize that they memes went too far.
