Good Always Triumph even when it's evil

Rating: 7/10 (11 November 2010)

To get away from scamming car mechanics, I decided to take a break from reality for 90 minutes. Going to to see an animated movie was one way to forget about those overcharging a*!!!! Having already seen Despicable Me earlier this year (which was more of a tearjerker), the comparisons to it, other than the evil guy turning good, there's really not much the same.
Megamind has an evil blue guy, but for all his evil, he seems like a guy just wanting a good time, and he finds it in his fights with Metro Man. In the very cliché story of always being the overlooked kid so he turns evil story, Megamind finds purpose in life being the bad boy. When he finally conquers his nemesis, Metro Man, the victory seems empty because he has no one to share it with other than his best buddy, some strange fuzzy transformer fish thing he calls Code.
Despicable Me finds happiness being a father, Megamind finds happiness with a news reporter. He transforms himself into some guy name Bernard (didn't anyone feel sorry for that guy?) and gets to know reporter Roxanne Ritchi then suddenly falls for her. All this after he tried to make camera man Hal the new hero, Titan. only to have that backfire as his creation becomes the new face of evil.
This movie begins with action, is fast paced, and has a hilarious send up of Marlon Brando as Jor-El in the Superman movie. In all it was a cute movie, and the voice acting was great all around. It's refreshing to see the good guy lose once in a while, but having this not so evil MegaMind character as the focus isn't too bad either
