Review of Megamind (2010) by Filipeneto — 21 Aug 2018

This film follows the trend, of the "good villains" in animated films, more and more evident since "Despicable Me". In fact, both films are from the same year and its difficult not to make comparisons, but I will resist this temptation.

The core of this film is a hero vs. villain fight, where Megamind, the villain, manages to finally win, which puts in question the purpose of his life forward, without a good guy who fight against him.

Its clearly thought out for teenagers and young adults and action is a fundamental part of the fun, along with good humor. Drawings and animations were really well made, the plot is good and pace is perfect, with no dead moments or annoyingly boring situations.

But it lacks that spark of brilliance that you see in films that last forever and become classics. This spark, this film does not have, not being remarkable or memorable. It's a good movie, no doubt, but it's within the standards that studios have used us to.

Entertainment and laughter are guaranteed, and that's reason enough to make it worth it.
