The newest featured Minion is Otto whose braces, chubby physique and air-headed hijinks brings the most laughs, including a dreamy ride through Death Valley with a hippy biker voiced by RZA of Wu-Tang Clan fame. Bob is the unpredictable wild card, dressing up as a lipstick-smacked flight attendant or whacking his head in undeniably successful physical comedy. The three most famous of the Minions - Kevin, Stuart and Bob - veer from the group for some trailer-happy footage, and it's hard not to chuckle at their gags. Gru's gaggle of yellow henchmen might be our focus here, but it is Gru's development from juvenile wrongdoer hopeful to a bonafide supervillain that offers the majority of plot development. Instead of impressing the adult villains, Gru's sticky fingers send the five specialized fighters with punny names and iconic voices – the Scandinavian roller-blader Svengeance (Dolph Lundgren), the lobster-hoofed baddy Jean-Clawed (Jean-Claude Van Damme, epic), the nun-chuck-wielding nun."Nun-Chuck" (Lucy Lawless) and the superhumanly strapping weightlifter Stronghold (Danny Trejo) - into full offense mode, stopping at nothing to retrieve the valuable weapon. It is this artifact that Gru swipes from the Vicious 6 during his interview where he's seeking to fill the position opened up by Wild Knuckles' exit. Henson voices the new leader of the pack, Belle Bottom, who usurps – and nearly kills – founding member Wild Knuckles (Alan Arkin) after he retrieves the Zodiac Stone, a mysterious, powerful relic with the ancient ability to turn its yielder into animals of the Chinese Zodiac timed with the Chinese New Year. He's a wide-eyed, relatively-innocent crime junkie, honing his craft in the hopes of one day joining the headline-making crew of eclectic outlaws known as the Vicious 6. Picking up where its 2015 predecessor left off, "Rise of Gru" makes the wise choice of bringing back a voice-modulated Steve Carrell who reprises his role as the nefarious villain, this time as an 11-year-old child who commits small-time crimes in 1970s suburbia. The fifth in the universe, " Minions: The Rise of Gru," offers a sweet, impeccably-timed (literally timed, clocking in at a lean, mean 97 minutes) installment with much of the same with a few new, welcome elements. In fact, a majority of what makes us laugh about the sunshine-colored, phallic-shaped creatures of unknown origin is their comedic timing, a tight-rope walk between unintelligible goof-talk officially known as Minionese - though it's hard not to hear an ambiguous fusion of Spanish, French and Italian - and physical comedy pulled directly from "The Three Stooges" or, more comprehendible for this generation and demographic, "Loony Tunes."īut it is the Minion's unquestionable love and loyalty to Gru that has brought kids and adults back for four feature films: "Despicable Me" 1, 2 and 3 and the first "Minions" film.
