Minions: Rise of Gru isn't what we expected...

Today we're finally reacting to Minions: The Rise of Gru! Illumination decided they wanted to print more money so they made another movie, but unlike previous entries the internet seemed to love this one. With trends like GentleMinions and Yeat's "Rich Minion" track, were the memes enough to make this movie a success? Who are the Vicious Six? Did it really get a minillion percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes? And why is Otto so THICC? idk but I'm tired, watch the review lol.

Minions - The Rise of Gru - 2022
In the 1970s, young Gru tries to join a group of supervillains called the Vicious 6 after they oust their leader -- the legendary fighter Wild Knuckles. When the interview turns disastrous, Gru and his Minions go on the run with the Vicious 6 hot on their tails. Luckily, he finds an unlikely source for guidance -- Wild Knuckles himself -- and soon discovers that even bad guys need a little help from their friends. With Steve Carell, Pierre Coffin, Taraji P. Henson, Russell Brand, and Jean-Claude Van Damme.

I’ll be that guy: The plane the minions fly cannot be a 737 or A320 because both of those models have two engines. The animators are likely referencing the 707 given the time period, 4 engines, and the black spot on the nose. The 707 and other planes of that time had a 3rd crew member in the cockpit behind the pilots called the Flight Engineer. Their controls faced the walls beside and behind the pilots.

Probably a dumb theory, but it's canon that Gru started cloning the minions. My theory is that Otto is a prototype clone and that's why he is so T H I M C K

16:03 "YOU DROPPED A VAULT ON BOB AND HE WAS SMILING"

[bigmanpounder]

what i find hilarious is that when gru got kidnapped.. his mother had no concern at all. she wasn’t even shown trying to look for him, which isn’t surprising given how she treats him even as an adult.

17:27: They do actually notice when Gru steals the moon. That's why they enlisted him to help take down the person making the Purple Serum. I guess... maybe because he didn't keep the moon, they didn't pursue him immediately?

11:01 LITERALLY just the house from Hello Neighbor

Idk why but "he's not a stake he's a human" just got me

[shibalord]

My only complaint about this movie is that it ignores the original minions movie at some points

[serunovu]

honestly the villains having these over the top and conspicuous hideouts seems to be a running thing, Vectors hideout, Gru's house, Bathalzar Bratts fortress, wild knuckles house, the vicious 6 hideout. and it's honestly a mildly humorous running gag now that i've noticed, and hope they keep doing it with inevitable future minions or despicable me movies

Best impression of Morshu I’ve ever heard

[hhgff]

As someone in the minions video explained there is a blueprint in Despicable me that basically says Gru found out how to clone them so I assume the fat one is a result of one of Gru's first attempts at it.

I love how happy and how big of a smile Bren had when he made the rat joke

[wschleisner]

19:53 oh rats....Brenden. **complete silence** it was funny

[dangerber]

19:31 Update from 2023 to Jude the Mario movie was actually the best Illumination movie EVER in fact I'll say it BETTER than the entire Despicable me franchise
Yeah I said it and I'm proud of it

[SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Love how this movie acknowledges how weird the minions look. Gru calls them taters tots and that other guy calls them Twinkies like no one can agree what they look like in real life, and they can't agree on it in the movie either. I wish I had my own Minions but I guess my titanoboa protecting my palace will do for now

[Modding_Jackster]

“I want a three-eyed Minion”, so a thrinion?

[herryisathiccboi]

Imagine being the main villains in a movie and not being in it that much 💀💀💀

#13:48, "I love the idea of being sucked!"🤔

[Koopkiris]

Fun fact: since all of the characters introduced in this movie aren't in any of the despicable me movies, we can only assume that Otto, baby chicken minion, and wild knuckles died during the space between. R.I.P.

Edit: I wrote this before the video premiered, so no, I did not copy what Jude said. If anything, he read my comment, recorded himself saying it while wearing the same clothes, and told Thomas to edit it in 5 minutes before the premiere. MWS debunked.
To those saying "minions are immortal", I will take from a comment from the despicable me video:
Minions cannot take physical damage, but, as we see in DM 2, they are vulnerable to chemical agents. Instead of turning them purple, with the right chemical, you could find a way to kill one.
