4 stars out of 5
I liked the original; I really liked the sequel. The plot was a bit thin, but everyone did their entertaining part, and there was extra attention paid to the minions, who were always my favorite part of this franchise. Best of all: not too long! A lovely, delightful, entertaining piece of animation. As I watched it, I found myself wondering; how much longer will the uncanny valley will exist. At some point, there won't be any more live action. If you go by the percentage of most modern action films that is comprised of Computer Graphics, we are half-way there.
