Review of Megamind (2010) by Phillip M — 29 Oct 2012
Absolutely awesometacular! This movie is by far the best that Dreamworks Animations has done. Every other one they've done before focused more on humor than anything else, which is okay, I mean who doesn't love a good laugh? But this movie goes beyond the humor, tones it down some, and focuses on a very well done story line, and awesome characters that we love and care about.
We start off with your basic superhero and super villain scenario, they fight, villain captures a citizen, super hero attempts to save her. But after that, things start to twist. For the (first time?) the villain actually defeats the superhero, which later becomes the basis of the character's growth.
Megamind learns how boring life is without an opponent, and that taking over the town has done nothing for him. He then decides to create his own superhero, who actually becomes the villain, and thus Megamind's role is reversed, and he becomes the hero instead of the villain.
The overall concept is very clever, and the movie which was born from that concept was very well done. I absolutely loved this movie. Great for kids, good for adults, and just fantastic for just about any audience.
