The 2015 'Minions' film was not only charming and stupid but somewhat fascinating in its long stretches of near-silence, with little more than gibberish and musical cues propelling forward whatever passed for a story. Perhaps the biggest disappointment in 'Rise of Gru' might be nitpicking, but there's too much talking this time around.

These Minion adventures have a zany, anarchic feel that is as close as modern pop culture gets to the heyday of the Marx Brothers or classic Looney Tunes, and this is something both freeing and empowering for kids, who need to laugh at the absurdities of life just like the rest of us.

Their boss is an older, 'Easy Rider'-type hero (voiced by Alan Arkin) named Wild Knuckles, who is betrayed in the film's opening moments and effectively replaced by disco-loving Belle Bottom (Taraji P. There's metal-handed Stronghold (Danny Trejo), roller-skating Swede Svengeance (Dolph Lundgren), lobster-clawed Frenchman Jean Clawed (Jean-Claude Van Damme), and best of all, an evil nun named Nunchuck (Lucy Lawless) who wields her namesake. 'Rise of Gru' begins in 1976, with the audience quickly introduced to the 'Vicious 6,' a supergroup of villains, one more colorful than the next.
