Another Animation, Another Kids movie. Its getting harder to judge these just on appearance as there is no denying that pretty much everything falling out of Hollywood right now looks great when it comes to modern animation so lets instead, take a look at the cast.
Ferrell, Fey, Pitt & Hill. All 4 are absolutely fantastic in this. The script is brilliant. It's well written and beautifully delivered. Hysterically funny with Ferrell taking all of the best one liners and Brad Pitt, albeit he could easily have done his lines in a single lunch break pretty much sends himself up here and is a great cameo.
The plot sees our super villain head out of his home galaxy as a baby after his and the neighbouring planet get sucked into a black hole. At the same time, another family have the same idea, also launching their son into Earth's orbit and after years spent together in school, battle lines are drawn and our team favourite, Megamind ends up the villain to Pitt's over cheesy Metroman. What then plays out is (unbeknown to us at the time) Metroman becomes tired of being the hero so works it in his favour to lose a battle, opening the way for Megamind to take over!! With no Hero to defeat life soon becomes boring for our villain so he sets about creating his own one but this quickly backfires when "Titan" realises that good guys finish last and switches to the dark side, leaving Megmind no choice but to turn his attentions to saving the day, and the girl.
Right, that's the plot so I hope I did not give too much away. This is a very funny movie and great for both kids and adults alike - I was quite impressed with the 3D effects in comparison to others seen recently but I am sure it would have been just as good without them.
Finally though, I have to just mention that as we all did with Jessica Rabbit, you have to admire how great Tina Fey's Character looks. I don't care what you say. She is proper cute!!!
Great Film, Great laughs.
See this if...........................................You have ever felt like the underdog should win (at least sometimes!)
