Mega entertainer

Rating: 7/10 (2 March 2011)

Hollywood doesn't seems to be running out of creative ideas very soon. 'Megamind' is a good example.
Good animations always has its place. And with several big time animation studios doing their best to get to the sweet top spot we seems to be treated with superior stories, characters and overall superior animation quality year after year. And while the live action movies take up on comic book super heroes, 'Megamind' goes on creating super heroes and villains of its own and deliver it with a punch full of super power.
Megamind (Voice by Will Farrell) is a super villain. After he left his dying planet at infant age and hits the planet earth his big blue head realized only one big reality. That is that no matter how good he tries to be good world does not except that. So he turn villain and become 'the' pro at that. But his eternal pain is Metro Man ( Voice by Brad Pitt) who is a super hero who shares the same fate as Megamind from a distant dead planet. Well he can fly but Megamind can't. One fine day after years of battling each other Megamind succeeds in destroying Metro Man. And then he realizes that the world is not the same place any more with his arch enemy is gone and no one to battle with. So Megamind sets to create a Super hero of his own to battle with but finds that he has made a grave mistake doing so.
'Megamind' is fast phased. The first few minutes of the movie quickly creates a strong base to the rest of the plot and its solidly done. And the plot stands tall. Creative, amusing and yet emotional where it should be. And the very kick ass animation does its part so well some time your will have a dropping jaw. Some of the plots bits and pieces may seem familiar if you're a routine animation fan or a comic fan. Especially when Superman left Krypton to find his new home in Earth.
The voice acting is great as well. Farrell and Brad who we have never seeing together in a real movie just makes lot of sense in this animation.
'Megamind' is a nice family entertainer. It will make you laugh and gaze at wonderful quality animation throughout. It will make you realize that a super hero is of no use without a villain and every villain has some good in them. And no matter what color you belong to white, black or blue some day you will have a change of heart when you fall in love.
