Blog and Movie Review on Megamind
Professor Purdy
Another movie I failed to mention that I saw over Thanksgiving break was the new 3D animated film by Dream Works called, Megamind. This blockbuster hit features a superstar cast including, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, Brad Pitt, Ben Stiller, and David Cross. The cast lineup was just way to good to pass up when thinking about going to see this film. With that being said, on the day after Thanksgiving I decided to hit up the theater for a matinee showing with the family. I was very excited to see the film considering it had one of my favorite actors, Will Ferrell in it, and it was also in 3D. As the movie opens up we find out that the jest of the story is that Megamind, Will Ferrell, and Metro Man, Brad Pitt, are sworn enemies. Megamind is the evil super villain and Metro Man is Metrocity’s superhero. Megamind is always trying to defeat Metro Man in anything and finally, one day Megamind ends up succeeding. Megamind is able to destroy Metro Man and he becomes the ruler of the city. However, soon after having killed off Metro Man, Megamind finds out that ruling the city isn’t that fun. What really was fun was the competition he had with Metro Man. Megamind realizes that what he needs to do is create another superhero in order to fight with him. Megamind ends up creating a potion that will turn anybody into a superhero. However, he accidentally uses the potion by mistake on a silly cameraman named Hal, Jonah Hill. Hal ends up turning into a dangerous superhero, almost a super villian and coins the name Titan. Well that’s all the details I am going to give you about this movie folks. Don’t want to spoil all the fun for you when you decided to head out to the theater and see Megamind. In my opinion the movie was great, however the 3D was definitely not an impact at all. I feel that today a lot of movies are going into 3D because the producers feel they sell more. However, this film had very little 3D action and I would have rather saved the five dollars extra it cost me to see it in 3D. Beyond that though, the movie was hilarious and had so many funny jokes. The cast and acting really shines through and I definitely have to give Megamind a nine and a half out of ten stars! So stop wasting time and go see Megamind and find out for yourself what the sly twist towards the end is!
