Henson premiered back in July, seven years after the first Minions movie. The 2022 movie starring Steve Carell, Julie Andrews, and Taraji P. Rise of Gru is a prequel to the Despicable Me movies. Here’s what you need to know to get your villain on from the comfort of your own couch. Check out what we know about the latest Minions movie in the meantime here on CinemaBlend.Bello! (That’s “Hello” for those of you who don’t speak Minionese.) Minions: The Rise of Gru is finally moving to streaming platforms to watch. Minions: The Rise of Gru is coming to theaters on July 1. However, if you’ve been hate watching your way through the others, Rise of Gru likely won’t be the one to knock your Minion goggles and overalls on. Did you like the other Despicable Me and Minions movies? If you have and don’t mind some of the same old tricks, it sounds like this prequel is worth your time. Perhaps that’s your best measure when it comes to deciding whether you’ll go to Minions: Rise of Gru when the upcoming 2022 movie hits theaters this July. It’s unlikely to win over anybody unmoved by the previous movies and likely to deliver exactly what you’re expecting if you’ve enjoyed everything so far. Audiences know what to expect, and Illumination delivers, offering another feel-good dose of bad behavior.Įmpire’s Olly Richards caps our review roundup off with another middle ground critique, calling the movie “fun,” but also being aware of the shortcomings that perhaps hold the movie back from absolute greatness. Six months into 2022, it’s the funniest film Hollywood has produced thus far. Variety’s Peter Debruge found Rise of Gru to be predictable, but found its humor good enough to be entertaining. That’s not to say the film doesn’t feel like a binge: in fact, it feeds its audience mayhem and gags at funnel-down-the-throat, foie-gras-producing speed. This latest, 1970s-set installment… is an unexpected treat, and by far the series' punchiest and most polished entry yet.
