Minions: The Rise of Gru

[Zyraquis]

Saw this over the weekend (it’s already released in some markets). My partner and I totally enjoyed it. It is one of those harmless silly films that that works for me when I need something light and a few good laughs for like 1.5 hours.

My partner, on the other hand, I think loved it more than majority of MCU films that he just tagged along with me.

7.5/10

Minions: Cinemas ban teens in suits over #gentleminions trend

Happened last week when me and my Dad saw it in the cinema. A bunch of school-kids in their school uniforms had to be kicked out by staff members as a result.

Oh damn. Hope you were still able to enjoy the film.

This is giving off Trump telling the Capitol rioters to "go home, we love you" vibes.

I was going to take my kids to this but not if I have to deal with a bunch of tik-tok crowd yelling at the screen.

We were, thanks!! Around halfway through the film, the film stopped abruptly while staff members ordered those in question to leave immediately, which they all did and everybody cheered as a result, which I found to be quite weird, if I’m being perfectly honest with you.

Spoiler: The scene in question

The movie stopped just before Otto actually managed to finally catch up to the biker

Two more things of note:
1) A kid next to my Dad was coughing quite loudly before the film even started, which caused some of us (my Dad included) to be concerned about him, as he had something stuck in his throat. He recovered, only to be sick on the floor sometime during the movie, which we discovered after the movie finally finished.

2) After the movie finally ended, most of the audience actually cheered and clapped, which was a first for me.

Sounds quite dramatic! Thanks for all the info and glad you managed to enjoy it anyway despite all that.

Thanks!! It was “something”, I’ll tell you that. Hopefully soon(ish), I’ll post my 2022 Film Rankings in the appropriate thread.

Although I'm not a fan and yes the certain section of dummies ruining the experience by yelling at the screen and whatnot is silly

It's still cool to see so many people show up and really be into a movie. The few people I know who saw it really enjoyed it. Even the ones without kids
