Review of Megamind (2010) by Antony G — 16 Jan 2013
Despite being far from boring this movie suffers from a lack of originality. How Dream Works escaped any law suits is a super hero feat in itself. This animated movie screams Superman with other superhero themes making brief appearances. At least Pixar's The Incredibles had original ideas with their superheroes, this was straight out of the Superman franchise from the start, both our lead characters being sent from a doomed planet, there was even a reference from Superman Returns.
After conquering his nemesis Metro Man, super villain Megamind finds his life is pointless without a hero to battle with. He decides to create a hero using Metro Man's DNA but this backfires & the newly created hero, Titan, turns evil. In an ironic twist Megamind must become the hero to save the day!
