InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

tjblackwell-12115 Okay, I'm not going to act like this is the best Dreamworks movie ever made. I believe that title goes to one of the How To Train Your Dragon films. But no one really seems to remember this movie, and that's a shame. On the surface, Megamind looks like a spoof of the "superhero genre." But when you actually watch the film, it actually has some pretty well done character development and asks some interesting questions. It is also full of twists and turns (which I won't spoil here). The best part of this movie, by far, is Will Ferrell's performance as Megamind. Not only is he (and the animation department) able to produce some really funny moments, but when things get serious, Ferrell actually pulls of those more dramatic scenes as well. The rest of the cast are great as well, particularly David Cross and Brad Pitt. The movie also has a very cinematic feel to it, almost like it was meant to be a live action film at first, but they then decided to animate it. This especially shows during the action scenes. All in all, I think this is a very solid film that deserves more recognition. In time, who knows? Fingers crossed that we'll get a sequel!
Kirpianuscus touching, amusing, seductive, different by many other contemporary animations. because it not propose entertainment, has not ambition to impress and the story is almost too honest for many tastes. its great virtue is status of precise portrait of contemporary society. about the ambiguity of values, about old heroes/models , about self definition in a competitive society. and, sure, about love. its purpose - to reflect about every day themes. its good point - a strange, fragile bad guy who becomes hero against obstacles. Megamind could be the icon of the resistance against chaotic manner to discover life. and that does this film special. because it is invitation to courage to be yourself. because propose an ironic portrait of solid determined things in new light. because the romanticism makes not so bitter a story who balance between Oliver Twist and retreat Elvis Presley.because it is inciting invitation to think yourself.
Ole Sandbaek Joergensen I saw this the other day, with my two kids and wife at the cinema, this is a great movie, even though it's quite different from other superhero animations, you can't help compare it to them. As such a comparison goes, this has some great new stuff, but it is lacking some of the heroism that is often seen in these kind of movies.It's a really fun movie for the kids, but animation today tend to have something for the grownups as well, this does have a few things, but it is mostly for the kids. I don't mean this in a bad sense, that's good that it's main focus is on the kids and can really entertain them.It is entertaining all the way through, a bit chaotic at times and seems to jump or leave out some scenes, but all-in-all it works very well.
Python Hyena Megamind (2010): Dir: Tom McGrath / Voices: Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, David Cross: Grand masterpiece animation about exploration between good and evil. Megamind is propelled to evil while his counterpart Metro Man always saved the day. When he finally succeeds everything becomes dull until he decides to create a new superhero to dire consequence. Directed by Tom McGrath with glorious colorful images including our hilarious big blue-headed anti-hero voiced by Will Ferrell. Megamind is such a failure that when he does succeed, he cannot grasp its reality. A great story point regards how he and Metro Man landed on Earth and how they were brought up, but it is inevitable that the good inside him is the product of ignorance. Tina Fey voices Roxanne Ritchi, a reporter caught between several suitors. She has been abducted so many times and fell witness to so many schemes that she can merely criticize Megamind's methods. Jonah Hill voices her cameraman who will become the accidental successor to Megamind who had intentions with his powers that ultimately became the product that places Megamind in position to accept what he never accepted or realized. Brad Pitt voices Metro Man, tired of the routine heroism to the point where defeat is a welcome sigh of relief. David Cross voices Megamind's sidekick who happens to be a gold fish and smarter than he is. The animation is colorful with many hilarious comic lines thrown out with full blown sarcasm. Great animated filmmaking about crossing over to the greener, or bluer grasses. Score: 10 / 10
