Movie Night: Megamind.

Review #195: Megamind.

Cast
Will Ferrell (Megamind), Tina Fey (Roxanne Ritchi), David Cross (Minion), Jonah Hill (Tighten/Hal Stewart), Brad Pitt (Metro Man), J. K. Simmons (Warden), and Ben Stiller (Bernard) Directed by Tom McGrath (#165 - Madagascar and #154 - Madagascar 2)

Review
Megamind has been compared to a mix between Superman and Despicable Me, which is a strange combination of films, but is it really? Not so much, but you eventually get over that comparison and start to watch with interest. Ferrell does a good job, he's charming and somewhat sympathetic. The rest of the cast do good as well, such as Fey and Cross, who are both fun to watch. The animation is refined and excellent, the movie is enjoyable and while it may not be a great movie, it at least is a fun one. The plot line is alright, with some good jokes and dynamic action all around to make an excellent film. Countdown to 200: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5...

Overall, I give it 8 out of 10 stars.

Review
We all once went to High School at one time. We all did weird things (mainly stupid things), and we all watched weird things happen. This is a movie that has managed to stay onto our minds even after 10 years. The acting is alright, with Lohan doing a good job being our main character and our narrator. Rachel McAdams does a standout job here as well, as this film isn't as generic as the premise may seem. This film is enjoyable for all, even for someone like me. It can be fun, it can be serious, it can be very catty, but most of all, it can be a good film.

Overall, I give it 7 out of 10 stars.
