Megamind : *** (out of 4)
Including the voices of Will Ferrel, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, David Cross and Brad Pitt.
Directed by Tom McGrath. Approximately 99 minutes long. Playing at major theaters. Rated PG.
When I first saw the preview for Megamind, I thought that it looked good. When I saw the second preview, I still thought it looked good. But one day, when I was half paying attention to a TV channel, an ad came up for it. Oh dear goodness. It was a terrible ad. It made the film look so stupid with a horrible rap they added in. Gosh darn it, I've said this before and I'll say it again, What is wrong with this world?!
But I saw the movie anyways and I have to say it was quite entertaining. And also, I found out a little more about it. Okay, so the film starts out with Megamind (later voiced by Will Ferrel) getting shipped off to Earth by his parents with a minyon (later voiced by David Cross) as his planet gets sucked into a blackhole of some sort. Then, along comes Metro Man (later voiced by Brad Pitt) who's planet was sucked in by a blackhole, too. He is the good guy, but Megamind is not. The movie shows a bit of their childhood. Metro Man grows up in a lovely house and everyone loves him, while Megamind grows up in prison and everyone hates him. Fast forward quite a few years later and Megamind has killed Metro Man. He blew him up with a sun ray. Now, Megamind has taken over the city and has stolen everything.
But the story doesn't stop there. The story also involves Megamind being lonely without someone to fight. So he decides to a take a cameraman named Hal (Jonah Hill) who works for a reporter named Roxanne (Tina Fey). Hal has a thing for Roxanne, but she doesn't. So, Megamind decides to take Hal and make him a hero named Titan. Pretty soon, though, Megamind realizes that it was a huge mistake because Titan turns from a geek to a jerk after Roxanne rejects him. From then on, Megamind wonders if he wants to be so bad after all and dare I say it, develops feelings for Roxanne?! ( dun dun dunh).
Megamind is not the best animated film I have ever seen, but it is very entertaining and the cast does a good job. The writers make good jokes and thankfully, there is no bad rapping. So, I say that this is worth seeing.
