20 Rotten Tomatoes Predictions For 2022's Biggest Movies

10. Minions: The Rise Of Gru (51%)

It's tough to know what to make of the new Minions movie either critically or commercially. The same question abounds either way - does the world still care about them?

Minions were of course all the rage with kids and aunts the world over in the mid-2010s, but with an entire seven years passing since the release of the first Minions movie - and five years since Despicable Me 3 - it's entirely possible that everyone has just moved on.

Minions and Despicable Me 3 both scored scarcely Rotten ratings - 55% and 59% respectively - and given that Minions 2 basically looks like more of the inoffensive same, it'll probably score similarly.

Knock a few points off for critical fatigue with these movies and 51% feels totally on the money. Not bad, not good - just totally mixed.
