Villainy is a way of life, but if a villain doesn't have a hero to
battle, can he still expect the same sense of satisfaction from his
evil deeds? When Megamind (Will Ferrell) finally defeats his long-time
nemesis Metro Man (Brad Pitt), he ecstatically goes about laying ruin to
Metro City, reveling in the fact that he can now have anything he
wants. Surprisingly, Megamind's glee quickly turns to dissatisfaction as
he realizes that the battle was half the fun and everything comes too
easy now. Thus begins a plot to turn the nerdy Hal (Jonah Hill) into
Tighten, a new hero for Megamind to battle. What Megamind doesn't count
on is that Tighten may not turn out to be as good as he's meant to be.
Nor does he anticipate falling in love with his old rival's girl Roxanne
Ritchi (Tina Fey). In the end, Megamind finds he must rethink his
assumptions about good, bad, and what makes him happy.
It's an ok movie, a fun way to spend 90 or so minutes. A good twist on the usual evil versus good movies where the Villain wins and then is lost without his nemesis to pit his wits against. It is also a good moral of how even someone who has been created pure and good can turn evil. The 3D effects are better than some other animated movies I have watched recently like Brave. Not much else to say about it, other than it is offers nothing new from every other similar animated movie but it does entertain for 90 minutes.
