Good Strong Family entertainment :)

Rating: Null/10 (21 November 2010)

I just got back from seeing "Mega Mind", and have to say that I really enjoyed it. Even though it was in 3D, the glasses did not darken the image. At least not too much anyway. Did this need to be in 3D? Not to my way of thinking, but it didn't hurt the film either.
This film has strong quick witticisms that will have a full packed house laughing through much of the first 20 minutes. We have a basic story with a psychological twist, that only gets better as it goes along.
There are parts that are a bit over the top, even for a CGI super-hero comedy, but the film doesn't suffer too much for it. I think it's good solid entertainment, but I think I would only take in another showing if I was with a group of friends and family.
Beyond that, "Mega Mind" offers a new twist on the super hero craze over the last several years, and should delight most family audiences. Please note however that the music can be a bit loud, and some smaller ears suffered for it in the form of crying and tears in the theatre. Not a big deal. That's what parents are for :) The rest of us without kids should be tolerant given the venue.
All in all a good watch. If you have a space $14 burning a hole in your pocket and a free weekend afternoon, give it a shot.
Enjoy!
p.s. one critique, one of the characters at the end should have made a bigger showing than he did.
p.p.s. some of the writing is almost too clever. I got all the humor, but thought it was almost surreal as to how intelligent witty some of the characters were portrayed as being.
