A genuinely fun comedy movie

Rating: 8/10 (8 August 2016)

Megamind is an animated comedy movie from 2010 which has become popular for it's genuine comedy and encaptivating protagonist.The story is about a blue,big-headed alien (megamind) who comes to Earth as infant and grew up in a prison.His rival,Metroman,too was sent to earth as an infant but he grew up in a rather luxurious home.This contrast in their upbringing quickly lit the fire for their rivalry and continued as they grew up.
The movie tries to answer an important question which not many superhero movies delve into, 'What happens if the villain wins?'.When metroman dies , you can clearly see the loneliness inside megamind and would almost feel a little bad for him. His plan to create a new hero for him to fight was laughably ingenious.
The strongest aspect of the movie were clearly the characters. Megamind is one of the funniest protagonists in animated movies who can be silly and evil at the same time while still making you laugh.Tighten was an unexpected villain given the way he was introduced but truly came off as evil.Roxanne and Metroman were great too.
The story itself was linear and predictable at points but interesting enough to keep the audience occupied and the music was just amazing with songs like 'crazy train' and 'highway to hell' perfectly complimenting Megamind's nature.The only way one would be disappointed from this movie is if you expect too many new things in the plot.It blatantly takes up concepts from some famous superhero movies but it doesn't even try to hide that it has.Overall,it was just a fun ride you can enjoy with family and friends.
