Much better than suspected, I had low expectations

Rating: 7/10 (21 November 2011)

Megamind is one of those movies where the trailers really did the movie no justice at all. The movie is funny, but not extremely funny. There are a couple of scenes which seem borrowed from other movies, but that is one of my major gripes and that's it.
The movie has a wonderful visual style and surprisingly good effects. The animation is wonderful and the explosions are very good. The characters are actually pretty interesting and Tina Fey at first sounded kind of a bad choice though she actually did a good job. Megamind is an interesting character who can never really decide if he is a good guy or a bad guy. I will say there are a few scenes that are very similar to Despicable Me, but I'm pretty sure this movie had been in development a lot longer seeing as how much work was put into the animation.
The final showdown was actually entertaining and Tighten (titan) was fairly dark in my opinion. Megamind is a villain who loves to do bad and then losing so that he can do bad again. Tighten on the other hand is basically rage, selfishness and real evil. Overall a very entertaining movie, one small gripe is that some of the scenes seem very blank and flat, but I think they may have done that on purpose for visual appearance.
