Fun, Animated Superhero Spin-off!

Rating: 8/10 (10 January 2013)

Megamind is not the most spectacular animated film I have ever seen but it still is highly entertaining. This film has a few things working in it's favor. It has a highly-talented voice cast, has great, bright animation, and it reminds me of many great superhero films I have seen.
This film is about a villain with that weird-looking blue head who conquers the city's hero. When he gets lonely because he has no enemy, he creates a hero so he would have someone to fight. But, this "hero" is more than Megamind expected. He has to deal with that and there is that newscaster lady he is interested in.....
Megamind excels with a brilliant, talented voice cast led by Will Ferrell and Brad Pitt. Those two were really great and we even get to hear Brad Pitt sing. I also liked the character connections between Megamind and his fishy friend, Minion. I really liked the fishy guy.
Overall, this is a solid film that most kids will enjoy. It is obvious that this film recycles plot points from better films such as The Incredibles, Superman, X-Men, and Despicable Me. But that did nothing to stop me from enjoying the movie. I rate this film 8/10.
