Megamind - Movie review

Mega mind was a mega let down as I expected something extraordinary from the company who are slowly getting better and better with their animated flicks (without counting the last of the Shrek series, of course). Dreamworks did get richer by a few hundred million due to this movie so I don’t think they will be complaining or hear our complaints, but seriously a substandard work taking the content into consideration. A predictable movie from start to finish which has the same Villain-turned hero story, which was quite cleverly put-forth in the recent Universal hit, ‘Despicable Me’.

Will Farrel is a big let down and why the hell did Brad Pitt even sign for this petty role? Jonah Hill’s voice suited the role perfectly though. Let me make this clear, the movie was not all that bad, a definite one time watch in your home theatre but all too predictable a fair which might be lapped up by the kids but not the adults. Kick-ass animation though.

A mega waste of time.

Stars – 2
