I was wondering what it was about, too. The commercial trailers and the posters tell me absolutely nothing. I actually had to go look on Wikipedia to actually get any idea about what the plot is possibly about.
The trailers and posters alone didn’t make me want to see the movie. From just those alone, it seemed like it’d be some kind of gimmicky sidekicky movie perhaps focusing on those yellow eggmen things–which I had no interest in.
Judging by the posters and various promotions, I’d say the movie is about selling plush toys and various other cheap merchandise based on the minions. Who needs to entice people with plot or characters when you can tantalize kids with soulless marketing?
I want to see it so bad. LOL. especially for the “IT’S SO FLUFFY!” part.
I’ve never heard of this movie until reading this article, and the posters do nothing to convince me I’ll be missing out.
I read the book, it’s entirely about Gru!
I want to see the movie! And you guys obviously have not seen the official pooster for the film, Gru and his stepkids are the main focus of that poster. Plus, the reason why they’re showing those cute minions is because people find them adorable.
Yes it is possible to overadvertise. I am so sick and tired of seeing those yellow creatures marching acorss half of my TV screen while I watch a show that I will not be going to see this movie. They will not get one red cent from me. These onscreen ads have to stop!
