A prequel, yes, in which <strong>the jokes are somewhat watered down compared to the original saga <\/strong>and in which a little more black humor is missing, but in return <strong>eliminates the dose of glitter and sugar <\/strong>that tirelessly accompanied the first trilogy.  One thing for the other.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 2 --> <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Minions: the origin of Gru&#8217; correctly avoids his great handicap, that of <strong>become a child version <\/strong>without desire or talent in the style of &#8216;The little Flintstones&#8217; or &#8216;A puppy named Scooby-Doo&#8217;.  Gru and, above all, his secondary characters, maintain the same comic style that we are already accustomed to, and the only thing that changes, in reality, is the age of the protagonist. <strong>The essence of the saga lives on <\/strong>in a character that is still learning the art of villainy and that, although he does not dare to show his sinister side as in the originals, he is constantly very funny.  The fear of destroying the character is unfounded: to be a fifth installment, he is still in good shape.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 3 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-asset-image article-asset-normal article-asset-center\">\n<div class=\"asset-content\">\n<div class=\"base-wrapper-image\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n                 <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sf-lazy centro_sinmarco\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.blogs.es\/b44c7e\/gru-minions\/450_1000.jpeg?w=788&#038;ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/i.blogs.es\/b44c7e\/gru-minions\/650_1200.jpeg 681w,https:\/\/i.blogs.es\/b44c7e\/gru-minions\/1024_2000.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/i.blogs.es\/b44c7e\/gru-minions\/1366_2000.jpeg 1366w,\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.blogs.es\/b44c7e\/gru-minions\/450_1000.jpeg?w=788&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Minions: the origin of Gru\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><br \/>\n  <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Minions: the origin of Gru\" class=\"centro_sinmarco\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.blogs.es\/b44c7e\/gru-minions\/450_1000.jpeg?w=788&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But if you don&#8217;t mind Gru because you&#8217;re a Minions fan, this movie, intended as a meeting point between the main saga and the obligatory spin-off, <strong>it will also give you a good dose of clubbing<\/strong>, bananas, incomprehensible language and cuteness.  The slapstick works especially well, with some scenes that rival in absurd violence (although not in perfect timing) with the Looney Tunes shorts.  In the end, there is only one possible and palpable conclusion between the blows and the evil plans: <strong>&#8216;Minions: Rise of Gru&#8217; is bound to be a box office hit.<\/strong> There is no other possibility.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 4 --><\/p>\n<h2>Sor-chaku vs. Monica Naranjo<\/h2>\n<p>Both &#8216;Gru 3.
