While some critics argued that the Minions' movie was too similar to other animated comedies, the film's visual humor, lovable characters, and Pierre Coffin's (co-director) passion project credentials shone through. The movie holds a respectable 69% on Rotten Tomatoes, with praise for its colorful animation, zany humor, and Kevin Hart's energetic voice performance as Scarlet Overkill, the villainous character.
