Wild Knuckles kidnaps Gru for the amulet as the Vicious 6 hunt him down.
The outing also suffers from borderline self-indulgence as director Kyle Balda has included too many subplots. Oh, there’s also Russell Brand as an eccentric inventor Dr Nefario and Julie Andrews as Gru’s mother. But, the flick is overcrowded and doesn’t do enough justice to their talent with such little screen-time. Jean-Claude Van Damme plays a giant lobstr called Jean Clawed, the new ringleader is an Afro-sporting Belle Bottom (Taraji P Henson) and Lucy Lawless plays an evil nun, Nun-chuck who really wields the weapon. It will be a pun-lover’s delight - Vicious 6’s lair is hidden under a music store called Criminal Records. The out-and-out slapstick fare is incredibly hilarious and redeems the spin-off after a tepid first part, Minions (2015). In this part, the spotlight is more on the hook-nosed and tubby Gru than the Minions, though there’s enough and more of their antics to keep you giggling throughout the movie. The film also reveals how Gru and the yellow little goofballs came to become a team. He’s a 11-year-old prankster in 1976 who throws stink bombs, glues people with a cheese gun and uses magnets to win games at the arcade with his minions, well, the Minions - Kevin, Stuart, Bob and a noob, Otto. Minions: The Rise of Gru Review: The fifth instalment of the Despicable Me franchise is the East European reformed baddie Gru’s (Steve Carell) origin story. He’s chased by the Vicious 6 and Wild Knuckles for the stone, as his stooges Stuart, Bob, Kevin and Otto set out to save their Mini Boss. Rejected and ridiculed by the evil gang, he steals their ancient amulet, which is their big-ticket to becoming indestructible supervillains when its powers are activated at Chinese New Year’s midnight. Minions: The Rise of Gru Story: Gru is a notorious 11-year-old schoolkid from the 1970s, who aspires to become a supervillain, and interviews with the Vicious 6 to replace their now-ousted leader, Wild Knuckles.
