Can an evil genius turn good? If you like Will Ferrell you will like this. I liked it but not for reasons I expected. I say B+

Rating: 8/10 (19 February 2011)

An evil genius becomes bored after defeating his nemesis. After being sent away from their home planet's Megamind (Ferrell) and Metro Man (Brad Pitt) develop a rivalry. When one of Megamind's plans actually work he is left to rule the city as he wishes. Soon after he becomes bored and comes up with an idea to create his own enemy. When he meets reporter Roxanne (Fey) he begins to re-think his life. I liked this movie but not for the reasons I expected too. It was funny, lot of adult stuff that made me laugh. A very good soundtrack (AC/DC, Guns & Roses, Ozzy) that fit the movie. But the reason I liked it was because of the story and message. Very touching and family friendly. Not as funny as recent cartoons like "Despicapable Me" or the "Shrek" series but very enjoyable and good fun for whole family. I give it a B+.
Would I watch again? - If my kids want to watch it, I would watch with them.
