Megamind (2010)

Director: Tom McGrath
Starring: Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, David Cross, Jonah Hill, Brad Pitt, Ben Stiller
Certificate: PG
Genre: Animation, Superhero, Comedy
Awards: None

Megamind is a film about a super villain of the same name. For his entire life he has been battling the popular superhero Metro Man, never winning and becoming humiliated. When he does eventually kill Metro Man, Megind has nothing left to do. So he creates a new superhero, but of course that goes horribly wrong...

Megamind is a funny, enjoyable film. It just had the misfortune of being released at the same time as super villain animation Despicable Me which had minions. Megamind doesn't have minions. Yet the story is quite interesting and teaches the lesson of acceptance. The love story is handled well while the comedy is, of course, very funny with references to superhero films (Marlon Brando!) as well as creating its own jokes.

****Good
