Megamind


Movie: Megamind 3D IMAX
Voices: Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, David Cross, Ben Stiller
Genre: superhero, fantasy
I saw it on: November 7, 2010
Synopsis: Just like superman, two infants are sent to earth from a dying planet.  Metro Man (Brad Pitt) lands in a millionaire’s estate and is raised in the lap of luxury to become a superhero. Megamind (Will Ferrell) lands in the prison yard of a prison for the criminally insane – you can guess how he grows up.  Things always seem to go Metro Man’s way until he suddenly is destroyed.  Now, when a new super-bad guy threatens the world there is no super hero to battle him.  Enter Megamind, forced against his will to become a good guy

My two cents: This movie was a pleasant surprise – much better than I expected.  The whole premise of the evil genius being forced to become the good guy was hilarious.  Jonah Hill was great as the new evil-bad-guy-taking-over-the-world.  And of course, Tina Fey as the object of Megamind’s affections. And let’s not foget Brad Pitt as the everything-goes-his-way hero – who wants a vacation from fighting evil.

I don’t know that 3D really ads much to the movie, but regardless, this movie was thoroughly enjoyable.
