I asked the Sky/Times rep on Monday if there would be a preview screening of this and he said he had just been told there would be but not in Edinburgh. Sorry I don't know where the other screenings are but he did mention Dunfermline (in Fife) as we had been talking about the traffic hold up on the Forth Bridge as I had been in Dunfermline visiting my two granddaughters.

So if this is true it should show soon on Sky.

I am going to see this tomorrow. I am very very excited. I have just returned from Orlando and brought back a Fluffy and a couple of Minions with me ;) And if anyone is heading over there... TRANSFORMERS ride at Universal is the best 3D ride ever.

:red: Very entertaining, but I guess does lack the freshness of the the first movie. Now I'm completely hooked on the Minion Rush iOS game and just read there will be a Minions spin-off movie! _0^

The story is a bit weak but the minions are comedy gold and the hilarity of their antics are enough to gloss over the thin plot. I actually had tears of laughter in my eyes at the end. It is not as brilliant as the original but it is very very enjoyable. 8/10.

This was very enjoyable. Not as good as the first one mind, which is mainly due to the storyline feeling less original and the obvious highlight of the film (the Minions) being slightly altered at some stage which I didn't care for. However, it was still very funny and better than a lot of other films I've seen recently. The movie goes out with a bang and I too was crying tears of laughter at that, I'd happily rewatch just that scene (you'll know it when you see it) again and again and again. Also, Agnes is so adorable when she gets excited about *anything* 9/10

Brilliant, I saw this today and laughed consistently all the way through.

The minions are a fantastic comic creation. Thin plot maybe, but who cares when it's this funny.

The opposite of the plot heavy Monsters Uni, which seemed to forget the gags - I know which I'll be watching again first 9/10
