Now that the actual plot enters the picture, the movie now takes place where supervillains are the ones who deserve them, with three of the Minions stumbling from one misadventure to another. But this makes for a setup of putting them in desperation for having a boss after a number of failures of keeping them alive. It's a decent little origin story, even though we would rather assume them as an accidental science experiment. The Minions happen to be long-living prehistoric creatures that exist to serve any formidable master, in spite of their often incompetence. In the end, there is just nothing remarkable about it. While the gags are funny enough, it suddenly gets exhausting after a while. Unfortunately, the film doesn't find a compelling storyline for these antics to fit right through. It seems that the filmmakers don't have much of a decent idea for the original character for a while, so it's quite appropriate for them to stumble into these Minions while it lasts. So the studio basically made a spin-off mainly for them, which makes more sense than having these characters stealing the predecessor's spotlight, thus leads to a result that can be good and mostly bad. 2013's Despicable Me 2 has proved that people came back to this franchise for the striking popularity of the film's comic relief characters, the Minions.
