We Said: “Not only were [the
Minions] the only characters anybody cared about after the smash 2010 film,
they went on to have their own Minions spinoff, which did bigger
business than any Gru-led movie, but they now occupy a huge amount of space in
the Despicable Me films. Despicable
Me 3 sees the Minions have their own subplot yet again, while all of
the time spent with Gru feels like filler. […] Unfortunately, it looks like the
next film will pick up a lot of what Despicable Me 3 lays down. I guess
we’ll have to count on Minions 2 to play hero and save the
day.” Rating: 2 out of 5

We Said: “Who knew The
Maze Runner’s Dylan O’Brien could out-Bourne Matt Damon’s Jason
Bourne, but he does in Michael Cuesta’s American Assassin. Granted, the last
Bourne
film was pretty terrible in its awkward attempts to adapt to the new cyber age
of counter-terrorism. American Assassin on the other hand is strictly old
school, Tom Clancy-type stuff with a contemporary flair and O’Brien, while not
the most credible action star the genre has ever seen, has the presence to grow
into a believable boogeyman terrorists can quake in their boots over.” Rating: 3 out of 5
