adonis98-743-186503 The supervillain Megamind finally defeats his nemesis, the superhero Metro Man. But without a hero, he loses all purpose and must find new meaning to his life. Megamind has some good animation, interesting characters and some cool songs from movies like Iron Man and Terminator 2 but the obvious 'Superman' rip-off origin, the lackluster humor and a villain who isn't exactly a villain and is bored to death for being alone in Earth makes 'Megamind' a below average animated film. (5/10)
grantss Megamind, a super-intelligent alien villain, at long last destroys his nemesis, the super-hero Metro Man. Instead of being satisfied, he feels empty, so creates a new super-hero. Unfortunately the super-hero turns out to be a super-villain, and Megamind has to assume the role of super-hero in order to stop him.Very good, and surprisingly so. I thought this was going to be another comic-book-hero/animated kids movie. Kids will certainly enjoy it, but so will adults. Good plot, snappy dialogue, very funny, unrelenting pace. Action sequences are a prop, not the main idea, which is always good, and the movie doesn't take itself too seriously. Heaps of fun.Great casting and performances - voices are spot-on.
tjblackwell-12115 Okay, I'm not going to act like this is the best Dreamworks movie ever made. I believe that title goes to one of the How To Train Your Dragon films. But no one really seems to remember this movie, and that's a shame. On the surface, Megamind looks like a spoof of the "superhero genre." But when you actually watch the film, it actually has some pretty well done character development and asks some interesting questions. It is also full of twists and turns (which I won't spoil here). The best part of this movie, by far, is Will Ferrell's performance as Megamind. Not only is he (and the animation department) able to produce some really funny moments, but when things get serious, Ferrell actually pulls of those more dramatic scenes as well. The rest of the cast are great as well, particularly David Cross and Brad Pitt. The movie also has a very cinematic feel to it, almost like it was meant to be a live action film at first, but they then decided to animate it. This especially shows during the action scenes. All in all, I think this is a very solid film that deserves more recognition. In time, who knows? Fingers crossed that we'll get a sequel!
morrison-dylan-fan When originally hearing about this film a few years ago,I for somehow mixed up for being part of the Despicable Me series! Finding Turbo and Mr. Peabody & Sherman to be delightful "one-offs" from Dream Works that were shown on TV during Christmas,I decided to correct my mix up,and delve into the mind of Megamind.The plot:Being the only baddie in the city,Megamind passes the day in fights with local superhero Metro Man.Finding Metro man to get bored of the routine,Megamind kidnaps Metro's girlfriend Roxanne Ritchie for the 5th time,and sets a new trap. Preparing for Metro to arrest him once again,Megamind and the city are left in chaos,when Megamind's latest trap appears to have finally killed Metro off! Expecting to be happy,Megamind starts getting depressed over there being no superheroes to fight with,which pushes Megamind to put his mind on creating a new superhero.View on the film:Bringing Ben Stiller and Guillermo del Toro in to give the title a final gloss in the last month of production, director Tom McGrath looks into a mind of endless energy,with the attention to detail shown in the wide street shots leading to the action scenes having a crunch that is a match for any live action Comic-Book flick. Making Megamind rather refined, McGrath pulls at the vibrant,pulp coloured roots of Comic-books,flying from Megamind having a deep blue, paranormal round his cape,to the stainless steel whites reflecting the funny "perfection" image of Metro.Landing just before Comic-book movies took over the Summer season,the screenplay by Brent Simons & Alan Schoolcraft dives between a hilarious spoof,and a genuinely exciting anti- superhero tale in its own right. Taking sweet shots at Megamind getting what every baddie wants in a blockbuster flick,the writers hilariously dissect superhero and villains mythologies by leaving Megamind at a complete loss over what to do over finally succeeding. Soaring to life with sharp animation that give the characters a fresh appearance,the writers brilliantly match the high-flying jokes with a sweet, lonely heart being revealed behind the boo-hiss image of Megamind,as a mega light is turned on in Megamind's mind.
