Every Major Movie Sequel Of 2022 - Ranked From Worst To Best

Though Minions: The Rise Of Gru is destined to be best remembered for the unhinged #Gentleminions TikTok trend, it's... not bad overall.

You know what you're getting here - a gossamer-thin excuse for a story, holding together a series of funny, nicely animated vignettes involving everyone's favourite yellow, pellet-shaped creatures.

Sensibly clocking in at just 87 minutes, this is a film that knows the limits of its appeal and doesn't try to persuade the audience otherwise, delivering some daft slapstick, eye-popping visuals, and... that's about it.

Of all the movies you could've taken your kids to this year, this one perhaps found the most reasonable nexus of entertainment value and brevity. And because it grossed an eye-watering $939.6 million globally, Minions 3 will surely be here before we know it.
