Megamind
After destroying Metro City’s hero Metro Man (Brad Pitt) the evil Megamind (Will Ferrell) begins to question his goals and overall outlook on life. In a moment of reflection Megamind has the brilliant idea to create a new hero, Tighten (Jonah Hill), to give meaning to his life’s passion, but now with a secret crush on reporter Roxanne Ritchi (Tina Fey) perhaps his priorities are out of balance?
3D animated fun for the family is pretty much what Dreamworks is aiming for in this one, and, while this may not be the funniest, most meaningful, or touching story, the end result is the same, it still accomplishes what it sets out to do, it entertains. Not exactly a huge ringing endorsement, I know, but with the comedic talent assembled, I’ll admit I was expecting a little more depth in the humor. Still, for 96 minutes the characters were interesting enough and the film didn’t wear out it’s welcome. Maybe a matinee for the family, Megamind is rated PG.
