Title: Megamind Post by: Ragnoros on March 30, 2011, 09:21:23 PM I was just hoping for something better than the disappointing Despicable Me; boy howdy. Megamind exceeded all expectations. It was absolutely hilarious, easily on par with Pixar's work, and played the superhero genre like a fiddle. If you liked The Incredibles, or just funny/superhero movies, you really ought to give this a watch.
Obligatory, yes I searched, and here are some trailers, not that they do the movie justice (and of course give away half the plot).

Title: Re: Megamind Post by: Furiously on March 31, 2011, 01:51:29 AM Thanks for reminding me how Despicable Me was so horrid. The only good part was when he was reading the book to the little girls.
Even my four-year-old son thought it wasn't good. And he really liked Unstoppable. (Which is the best Tony Scott film, about trains with Denzel Washington, he has made)...(Not that he remade his own film the taking of Pelham 1 2 3.) Title: Re: Megamind Post by: Khaldun on March 31, 2011, 07:50:32 AM I thought it was quite good if not quite great.
You could do a pretty interesting think piece about how this idea that supervillains are the geeks and outcasts of school culture and superheroes are asshole jocks has grown into a full-blown remapping of the superhero genre. Austin Grossman's Soon I Will Be Invincible is one example; the film "Sky High" had some elements of this as well.

Really? Title: Re: Megamind Post by: Mrbloodworth on March 31, 2011, 10:16:23 AM I was not life or industry changing, so it sucked? I guess.

Title: Re: Megamind Post by: Comstar on April 01, 2011, 01:22:33 AM I thought Despicable Me was a much better movie. Megamind's jokes were all in the trailer and there wasn't anything left for the movie.

I was very "meh" about the movie. Megamind was much more enjoyable marred only by Will Farrel in the lead role. (I'm getting alot of Will Farrel burnout lately.)
