Film review: Megamind 3D

9 Jan

If you fancy a bit of animated action, you could definitely do worse than watch Megamind 3D directed by Tom McGrath. Our protagonist Megamind (Will Ferrell) is a super intelligent but slightly misunderstood alien who causes trouble for his fellow alien superhero celebrity nemesis Metro Man (Brad Pitt). The rivalry goes right back to their childhood prior to them even ladning on Earth. Megamind wants to rule the world and frequently kidnaps news reporter Roxanne Ritchi (Tina Fey) to lure his enemy. His only friend is Minion (David Cross).

When Metro Man appears to die in battle, Megamind is left with no obvious foe. He now has control and no one powerful enough to challenge his evil ways but he finds its actually quite dull without Metro Man to spar with. Megamind hatches a plan to remedy this but somehow finds himself falling for Roxanne.

I was engrossed and loved the animation. It’s not a knock you down type of comedy but you will be entertained.
