Megamind (2010)


Release date: 5 November 2010

Rated: 8/10

The film revolves around the tale of two alien babies who make their way to earth. Megamind (voiced by Will Ferrell) is mostly misunderstood and decides to be a super villain and his enemy and superhero Metro Man (voiced by Brad Pitt). The tale begins with Metro Man landing by a Rich family and growing up with a silver spoon in his mouth. Megamind on the other hand landed in a jail yard and was raised by criminals.

Megamind revolves his life around destroying Metro Man but his plans are predictable and never work. So he is shocked when he finally succeeds in his diabolical plan and becomes
the ruler of Metro City. At first he is extremely happy and uses the city as his play ground. He later realizes that his life lacks purpose now that he has achieved his life goal of destroying Metro Man and he becomes very bored.

Megamind concocts a plan to create a new Metro Man by fusing some of Metro Man’s DNA with an ordinary citizen. He chooses the camera man of Roxanne Ritchi (voiced by Tina Fey and a reporter he has a crush on). This new found hero is known as Titan (voiced by Jonah Hill). Megamind hopes that Titan would challenge him much as Metro Man does but Titan is more interested in being a super villain as a love triangle ensues between Megamind, Roxanne and Titan.

Megamind now finds himself in a dilemma, he must give up his super villain ways and become Metro City’s super hero. The battle is on and Megamind has the help of his faithful Minion (voiced by David Cross) who has been with him since childhood.

The 3D effects of the movie were good and the movie was quite enjoyable. It is comedic and also gives the audience some life lessons on satisfaction and the “grass being greener on the other side”. This movie can be enjoyed by both adults and children equally. The audience could relate to the characters and feel for their personal situations. You won't regret watching this movie and you would get some laughs along the way.
