Megamind

It's big for a reason.

Two alien babies arrive on Earth at the same time, and grow up with super powers. One becomes a hero, the other the villain. When the baddie manages to kill the hero, he finds that his life has lost meaning, so he takes some of the Hero's DNA and uses it to turn a cameraman into a superhero. Unfortunately, the new superhero decides he'd rather be a baddie instead. One thing leads to another and our original baddie is pressured into becoming the Good Guy to save Metropolis (and get the girl, of course). This film is releasing in both 2D and 3D, this is the 2D version.

Box Office (USA)Pete Hammond DreamWorks Animation hits another one out of the park.

Chicago Sunday TimesRoger Ebert Megamind is an amusing family entertainment and gains some energy from clever dialogue and the fun Will Ferrell has with his character.

eye Weekly (Canada)Neil Karassik Very likeable.

ScreenIt (USA)C. Fuchs An amusing diversion that could have benefitted from a beefed-up script

RottenTomatoes.comTomatometer It regurgitates plot points from earlier animated efforts, and isn't quite as funny as it should be, but a top-shelf voice cast and strong visuals help make Megamind a pleasant, if unspectacular, diversion.
