Rating: 4/5; Really liked it and enjoyed it. Would watch again. Not necessarily add-to-your-collection worthy, but still fun. Release Date: November 5, 2010
Synopsis:
This movie's about a villain who's only purpose in life is to fight against the very charming, handsome, and perfect superhero.
Thoughts:
The kids will love this movie. Grown ups will find it very fun and amusing. The story's engaging enough even though it does have a few story line cliches. For the most part, it is quite unique and stays far enough away from previous villain vs superhero movies to remain enjoyable throughout.
What I loved the most about this movie was the geekiness of it (the way the movie turned out overall didn't hurt either). There were allusions to Superman, Ghostbusters, and other things I can't recall. I loved that! The soundtrack also helped. Highway to Hell by AC/DC was an unexpected yet funny song to hear during this one particular scene in the movie. The funniest thing about that was the creative way the word "hell" was covered up (for the benefit of the kiddies I assume).
I must say, I liked the first half of the movie more than the second. I could tell what was coming so that's probably why it didn't fascinate me. All in all, a fun movie. At the very least, rent it when it comes out on DVD/Blu-ray.
Warning! Be sure to stay a bit after the end credits because there is a bit more to the movie!!
Note: Yes, this movie is somewhat loosely based on the Superman story.
Watch the first 5 minutes:
Tag Cloud:

I was wondering about this movie - it was promoted quite a bit at Comic Con over the summer. Glad you enjoyed it - it sounds very creative. Happy Halloween!
I wasn't impressed by the 3D-ness of Megamind. I was like, that's it? They could've made it more exhilarating, but instead it just fell flat. I have nothing to compare it with since it's the first 3D film I've seen, so I guess that says something. By the way, I made a full review about it in my blog. If you want you can check it out and the rest of my entries. Thanks!
