Not for "Innocent Children"

Rating: 7/10 (12 November 2010)

The movie is funny and exciting, but strangely I fell asleep during it.
I don't write these reviews, and I don't feel so strongly about you knowing my opinion of this movie to write one.
But it has a line that should not be in any movie marketed towards children. I don't care if it is rated PG, so is The Incredibles and it has no lines I hope get taken out of future releases of it.
Megamind has such a line. And if it isn't taken out of the movie, I will not suggest parents take their kids to see it.
American society has agreed upon certain mythical creations to be portrayed as fact, and it is up to the children to move from believing to disbelieving when they are ready. It is not up to Dreamworks or Jonah Hill to decide it is time to educated my child, and the millions who see this movie. Had I read the reviews I am finding now I would not have taken my son to see this movie. And if Dreamworks does not take out the line "{This toothy character} isn't real, and {that mascot for Jesus' resurrection holiday} isn't real, and the queen of England isn't real," I won't rent the movie, I won't it, I won't recommend it. However, if my son takes this opportunity to say, "Daddy, is there really no . .." I'll be happy to boycott many more Dreamworks productions.
That's all.
