Megamind

MEGAMIND

Megamind is an animated film starring Will Ferrel as the smartest super villain existing and Brad Pitt as the strongest superhero. Megamind is unlike most villains in that he is actually the protagonist of this movie and is just badly misjudged. He thinks he is evil, but actually the "evil" thins he does is funny, until he kills the hero in the first twenty minutes. He takes over the city and starts to realize he doesn't have fun destroying the city or being a villain, especially when he falls in love with a women and starts wanting to help everyone. This villain versus hero film puts a new twist on this genre of films and is very comical and entertaining to watch. The villains become heroes and the heroes become villains and it's very interesting way to change the stereotypical roles around. Will Ferrel is excellent in playing the goofy, brilliant villain and for once you want the villain to win throughout the entire film.

Even though this film is children oriented, I still found it hilarious and the plot was very surprising. The ending, especially, really kept you on the edge of your seat and shocked you multiple times. Therefore, any adult or kid would enjoy watching this movie and although the film did not do that well at the box office, it definitely deserves more credit because it was unique and more entertaining than any superhero film I have seen.
