Megamind



The Good:  Not bad, Not bad.  If we remember correctly, this movie came out at the same time "Despicable Me" and "Toy Story 3" did, and so the two of us didn't really pay enough attention to it because we were so focused on the other two.  Well we're here to tell you that this movie (although it aint no PIXAR film) is still pretty "mega" cool!  First of all Will Ferrell is hilarious in almost everything he's in, and the same goes for Tina Fey as Megamind's mega-hot (for an animation, but nothing compared to Jessica Rabbit) love interest.  The two of us were pleasently surprised that Brad Pitt was in this, because we never really figured him for comedy; we figured he would always stick to Dramas.  Last but not least, there is this 3-year old from church who would always clench his fists together and yell "MEGAMIND!!!!!" at the top of his lungs, and it always made us laugh until we fell into cardiac arrest!  This is a shout out to you little bud.

The Bad:  It's not that this movie was really bad at all, because it was actually really funny.  We feel that the downfall for the movie is it wasn't publicized enough, and that it got lost in the cracks.  It wasn't as interesting as well, especially since there have been so many animated superhero movies coming out lately.

The Ugly: The truth about this movie is not so ugly.  Not only is this movie a hit with the 3-year olds, but grown ups will love it as well.  Sure it may not be an academy award winning PIXAR movie, but then again it's not claiming to be.  This is a movie that is purely meant to be laughed at, and laughed we did... and the nurses were by, just in case we actually did fall into cardiac arrest.
