I have to admit, I did not know precisely what to think or expect from this film even from first seeing a picture or a trailer. but not that I've seen it, I think it's pretty fricking awesome.
Plot: Megamind a blue, big headed alien and Metro Man...a human from another planet, have both had a superman like beginning. Their planets gets destroyed but end up on earth. Metro Man grows to become a super hero and Megamind become a super villain and become each others nemesis'. Generally, Megamind will often terrorize the city of Metro City and kidnap reporter Roxanne Ritchie and then when it seems like he wins, Metro Man completely kick his rear to kingdom come. It all happens the same way like all super heroes and villains. but then one day when it seems like he was going to defeat Megamind, Metro Man ends up getting killed by Megamind's death ray. And as Megamind officially takes over the city, things begin to change.
This was actually a really good movie. the plot was fairly unique as it went, the characters were fun, and don't get me started on the comedy when I haven't even gotten to screenplay yet.
Characters:
Megamind: Finally, a character from Will Ferrell that I ended up really enjoying. Megamind was a fun character with a lot of what he does around the film from being a villain always being the push-over to all the things he does afterwords.
Roxanne Ritchie: She was pretty fun too. Although as far as look, I thought he seemed a little to familiar or like Susan from Monsters vs. Aliens.
Minion: He's a funny minion which made him work as far as being the assistant went...aside from those little robots.
Hal Stewart/Titan: He was a little obvious but he had some pretty funny lines himself.
Screenplay: well they made a lot of funny lines. like all the times Megamind mispronounces words, to him and Minion saying things by saying Code in the beginning if their sentences. It's pretty good.
Music: the shocking thing is that Hans Zimmer was doing the music to this along with Lorne Balfe. There was nothing special about the score because you couldn't really pay attention to it alot because it was the same thing as far as the particular concept to the film. All around, in my opinion, this so far has not been a good year for Hans Zimmer considering this film along with One Stranger Tides and Rango. On the bright side, as far as actual songs, I enjoyed the soundtrack with it playing songs like "Back in Black" and "Highway to Hell" from AC/DC, Welcome to the Jungle from Guns n' Roses and "Bad" from Michal Jackson.
And that is my review for Megamind. it's not Pixar, but it sure is entertaining nonetheless.
