I just finished watching Megamind, like literally a minute ago, hopefully things will stay fresh.
I have a plan to write a review that compares Megamind with Despicable Me, but finding the words for this blogging thing is much more difficult than I anticipated. I blame the five years of University essays, my prose just isn't what it used to be. So I will give you my initial thoughts on Megamind, and a wonderfully amazing post comparing it to the other villian-turned-good cartoon that came out this year.
I realize that the title of my blog has the word "fart" in it, and my first review is on a cartoon, I will try to up the mature ante in the future.
One surprise was the quality of music, every time I heard an AC/DC song I wondered how much the production company had to pay for the rights. You don't often get classic rock hits in a cartoon. The movie ended with MJ's "Bad". The dancing was cute.
You get what you expect in this movie: it's family-friendly, parents should be able to sit through it no problem, and a twenty-something took the time to both watch and write about it, so worth your time if you like this sort of movie. Despicable Me on the other hand.... I would pick it over Megamind anyday (more on that to come).
I haven't decided if I should have a sort of rating system, I think perhaps a verdict would be more fitting.
And the verdict is:
Watchable if you like movies like Happy Feet and The Incredibles
