Finally watched it over the weekend and no surprise, really enjoyed it. It was cute and fun and of course the Minions. Watched it with my friends' 6-year-old and loved how both of us laughed throughout. Bottom (haha, bottom, haha) line is, it's an enjoyable movie for the whole family.

8/10

Just got back from seeing this (thanks to a sky cineworld voucher code) and unfortunately I wasn't all that impressed.

There wasn't anything really wrong with it as such, it just didn't interest me as much as the first film and certainly felt much less inventive. That said, I was clearly in the minority as the rest of the audience seemed to be having a fantastic time (maybe I just wasn't in the mood for this sort of movie today :confused: ) but for me at least it didn't do enough to deserve more than a 6/10...

Laughed so hard I missed most of it- had to see it again

Best bit-too many to mention but my favourite? the minions and their take on 'I swear' by All 4 One!

Finally saw this yesterday afternoon. The film is a bit of disappointment compared to the first one. The minions are very funny, but the plot is rather weak. 6.5/10

I saw this yesterday when I discovered I had more free tickets left on my Picturehouse membership card than I remembered having. I thought this was a lovely story and more than holds up to the first film. Gru and his love for his girls is adorable, and so were of course the minions. "Bottom!" :giggle: It got a bit slushy at the end, but the minions' rendition of "YMCA" saved it, which was as inspired as letting El Macho access his inner sanctum through the melody of "La Cucaracha".

A solid 8/10

We finally got round to seeing DM2 with our Sky vouchers, although we did enjoy it very much, we didn't feel it lived up to the first one, as for the Minions, I could just watch them.
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!
