Megamind
Cast (Voice): Will Ferrell, Brad
Pitt, Jonah Hill, Tina Fey, David Cross
Megamind will be our sixteenth
recommended movie, an 3D animation comedy film about a super-villain who is
engaged in a never-ending battle with superhero in a city which gives his life
a purpose of moving forward every day. But when he defeats his foe, he loses that
purpose and thus plan to create a new superhero on his own which turns out to
be a super-villain.
This 90 minutes comedy has very
strong visuals which would be a selling point of this movie and with the cast
chosen for voice adds extra spice to the same. The movie starts with a quick
background of a Superhero and a Super-villain who invaded the earth as Infants
and have been each other rivals. When Megamind creates a new plan to kidnap a
reporter (Roxane Ritchie) and hold her hostage inside Copper Lined Observatory.
When Megamind realizes that Metro-Man is weekend by the copper, he finally gets
his sweet revenge and kills him with the death ray and takes over the city.
After taking over the city ,
Megamind realizes he has nothing else to achieve and his life has no purpose
now. While wandering around in the city one day, he disguises himself as
another person (Bernard) and starts interacting with Roxanne and immediately
gets attracted to her. He gets an idea from Roxanne, where he would create a
new superhero to fight him. Megamind creates a serum using Metro Man DNA and
injects it to Roxanne proclaimed boyfriend Hal Jordan and convinces him to
become a superhero “Titan” to fight Megamind.
Things go wrong when Titan is not
able to woo Roxanne and realizes that she is on date with Bernard and leaves.
Megamind also reveals her identity to Roxanne who leaves. Titan, also fights
Megamind realizing he is being used for all this mess and is unaffected by the
copper-lined trap which killed Metro-man becoming a new super-villain. Megamind
seeks help of Roxanne who reluctantly takes him to Metro Man headquarters where
they are both surprised to see Metroman healthy and alive. He faked his death to
take retirement from being a superhero and declines to help Megamind.
Megamind on his own now decides
to take up the fight with the super strong HAL now. And we enter in to last 30
minutes of climax fight which is truly visually stunning (The Incredibles level). But, the question lies how can Megamind defeat someone who has been
created to defeat him and will he get any help from Metro-Man who has been
hiding and relaxing all this time. Although this movie has received mix reviews
saying this is the same old superhero vs super-villain story i.e. served in a
new package we would still recommend this for its stunning visual effects and dialogues.
Do watch the movie and let us know your comments.
