Film Review - Megamind (2010)


Megamind, the latest from Dreamworks Animation is the story of two super beings, Megamind voiced by Will Ferrell who is blue and has a large brain and Metro Man (Brad Pitt) who is essentially a Superman type figure, but when Metro Man is defeated, Mega Mind finds himself without purpose.

And so does this movie which is Mega boring, now I know that over time there has been great animated movies last year's Toy Story 3 being one of them and great Superhero movies the first Superman being one of them but this fails at both of those mainly because there is nothing here to hold the viewer's interest, so much of it feels like it's been done before and more interesting in other pictures.

And not only that, it wastes the talent of Tina Fey, who had no reason to do this at all but did so anyway, why she did I'll never know but apart from those even the animation feels sterile and did I mention how boring this movie is, for god's sake why didn't someone inject some excitement into this, I mean there were times where I wanted Dr. Claw and his MAD organization from Inspector Gadget to come and take over the movie, at least that might have been good, instead of this disaster.

All in all, skip this, .5 out of 5.
