Too much of everything

Must See Movie...

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

For someone who is not yet in their tweens, this is a 5 star movie. For adults it is a 3 star movie. Megamind and Metro Man both are hurled to the earth from dying planets. Metro Man bumps out Megamind from a good home and lands our blue "hero" in prison. Megamind believes he is destined to be the villain his whole life, so he acts the role and harasses Metro Man, an unlikeable egotistical good guy as well as Metro City. After he successfully kills Metro Man and wins, his life is boring without a challenge so he creates a hero to fight himself, Titan Man.At this point I won't ruin the plot twists. Classic Rock and Pop is used as theme songs for the bad guy which made the movie confusing for me. ;)The sound track was 5 stars. What was unfortunate was the actors they chose to read the lines. They added nothing to the movie. When Lithgow, Murphy, and Diaz do a movie, their voices add to the story. This was not the case with Ferrell, Fey, Hill, Cross and Pitt. Could you imagine Eddie Murphy instead of Ferrell? Simply a better movie.

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.

touching, amusing, seductive, different by many other contemporary animations. because it not propose entertainment, has not ambition to impress and the story is almost too honest for many tastes. its great virtue is status of precise portrait of contemporary society. about the ambiguity of values, about old heroes/models , about self definition in a competitive society. and, sure, about love. its purpose - to reflect about every day themes. its good point - a strange, fragile bad guy who becomes hero against obstacles. Megamind could be the icon of the resistance against chaotic manner to discover life. and that does this film special. because it is invitation to courage to be yourself. because propose an ironic portrait of solid determined things in new light. because the romanticism makes not so bitter a story who balance between Oliver Twist and retreat Elvis Presley.because it is inciting invitation to think yourself.

Megamind (2010): Dir: Tom McGrath / Voices: Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, David Cross: Grand masterpiece animation about exploration between good and evil. Megamind is propelled to evil while his counterpart Metro Man always saved the day. When he finally succeeds everything becomes dull until he decides to create a new superhero to dire consequence. Directed by Tom McGrath with glorious colorful images including our hilarious big blue-headed anti-hero voiced by Will Ferrell. Megamind is such a failure that when he does succeed, he cannot grasp its reality. A great story point regards how he and Metro Man landed on Earth and how they were brought up, but it is inevitable that the good inside him is the product of ignorance. Tina Fey voices Roxanne Ritchi, a reporter caught between several suitors. She has been abducted so many times and fell witness to so many schemes that she can merely criticize Megamind's methods. Jonah Hill voices her cameraman who will become the accidental successor to Megamind who had intentions with his powers that ultimately became the product that places Megamind in position to accept what he never accepted or realized. Brad Pitt voices Metro Man, tired of the routine heroism to the point where defeat is a welcome sigh of relief. David Cross voices Megamind's sidekick who happens to be a gold fish and smarter than he is. The animation is colorful with many hilarious comic lines thrown out with full blown sarcasm. Great animated filmmaking about crossing over to the greener, or bluer grasses. Score: 10 / 10
