Megamind (2010)

Rating: 7/10 (14 December 2011)

I'm the kind of guy that would love to see this idea pulled off seriously. The villain conquering the hero is an interesting one, and really has the villain questioning their role in life. Batman The Animated Series did this years ago, as The Joker became depressed at the (apparent) death of Batman. Dreamworks cranks out this idea, but ruined it in the trailers. Basically, it wasn't as dark as I had hoped. Luckily, I did find it very funny. Especially the relationship between Minion and Megamind. It gradually became more predictable, but also a lot of fun. Megamind is never truly villainous enough. He seems to be more of a joke villain than an evil genius. It will entertain, but might not have a huge effect in the future. If you like your animation simple and reliable, this is it. Though, I'll never understand why Dreamworks have to end their films on cringeworthy dance numbers.
