Movetime:Megamind

'Megamind' the 2010 Dreamworks film starring Will Ferrell.
Here is the synopsis given on IMDB.com :
"The supervillain Megamind finally defeats his nemesis, the superhero Metro Man. But without a hero, he loses all purpose and must find new meaning to his life."

Much like 'Despicable Me' this was an adorably cute movie but, in true Dreamworks fashion, didn't seem much for kids. There were a lot of jokes and references obviously put in there for adults and while I thank movie producers for doing this I think back to all the good Disney movies that I still rewatch and dont see the same habits. While comparing Disney to other animators isnt fair it is the truth that when I watch 'Little Mermaid' there are adults 'themes' if you will, but not so many jokes aimed towards adults. I quite enjoy the simplistic aspect of childrens movies and revel in the relaxation ones mind might experience watching one. With that said, I do not dislike Dreamworks way of incorporating adult humor, simply that I wonder why they feel they have to do as such.

'Megamind' was a very funny movie and Will Ferrell made me forget who he was for a while. Lately I have not enjoyed his movies as much, or more I find they seem to be all too similar to one another. Not seeing him in this movie helped me to truly engross myself in the film and take in its full worth. The best part of the movie was Megaminds butchery of the English language. He mispronounced most words and has successfully engrained them in my mind.
Some examples are
Metro City-Metrocity (Pronounced the same as atrocity)
Revenge-Revange (Orange)
Hello-Oolo (I couldnt even begin to explain)
School-Shool (Similar to a Jewish temple)

The reason for this was his upbringing and lack of schooling.
All in all I would give this movie a 4.5 rating. It is definitely funny, a well thought out plot, and good for the whole family.
