Fabulous Evil Fun

Rating: 8/10 (6 January 2011)

"Megamind" is one of the better animated movies to have made it out of 2010, end of story. It is right up there with "How to Train Your Dragon".
The story told in "Megamind" is one that everyone can relate to, both children and adults, and that makes it so much fun. Because there is something in this story for everybody. The classic tale of good vs. evil, but with a funny twist. And you can do nothing but love the plans and schemes Megamind comes up with and the way he carries them out. Total genius at work here.
As for the animated style of the movie, well I loved it. It had this really cool cartoonish touch to it, though it was superbly and beautifully drawn at the same time. The colors were plenty and splendid and the animation itself was amazing.
The cast of voices in the movie was amazing as well, with great names like Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, Justin Cross, Ben Stiller, and more. Everyone here did a really good job with voicing out the characters on the screen, with so much passion and soul. It worked so good.
And the characters in the movie were lovable, though some were quite stereotypical. But oddly enough, I found that to be quite a fun approach to the archetypal superhero genre. So it worked out well. And my favorite character was Minion, he rocked!
This animated movie is wholesome entertainment and fun for the entire family. Kids will love it, adults will love it, heck, even your pets will love it. This movie is a definite keeper. And I think it is also the type of movie that you will take out and watch again at a later time, because it just has that much appeal and watch-value.
And it was a refreshing touch to actually have the 'badguy' of the movie turn out to be the light of the day. Thumbs up for "Megamind", way, way up!
