Mega-Great!

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2015)

Megamind (2010): Dir: Tom McGrath / Voices: Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, David Cross: Grand masterpiece animation about exploration between good and evil. Megamind is propelled to evil while his counterpart Metro Man always saved the day. When he finally succeeds everything becomes dull until he decides to create a new superhero to dire consequence. Directed by Tom McGrath with glorious colorful images including our hilarious big blue-headed anti-hero voiced by Will Ferrell. Megamind is such a failure that when he does succeed, he cannot grasp its reality. A great story point regards how he and Metro Man landed on Earth and how they were brought up, but it is inevitable that the good inside him is the product of ignorance. Tina Fey voices Roxanne Ritchi, a reporter caught between several suitors. She has been abducted so many times and fell witness to so many schemes that she can merely criticize Megamind's methods. Jonah Hill voices her cameraman who will become the accidental successor to Megamind who had intentions with his powers that ultimately became the product that places Megamind in position to accept what he never accepted or realized. Brad Pitt voices Metro Man, tired of the routine heroism to the point where defeat is a welcome sigh of relief. David Cross voices Megamind's sidekick who happens to be a gold fish and smarter than he is. The animation is colorful with many hilarious comic lines thrown out with full blown sarcasm. Great animated filmmaking about crossing over to the greener, or bluer grasses. Score: 10 / 10
