Okay. MEGAMIND REVIEW!
The non spoilery part :
Well, I loved it. I feel this movie exists in the same unvierse as The Incredibles, Dr. Horrible and Despicable me. It's not the best movie of the yeah, but it has a nice mix of humor. It's a storyline similar to the Incredibles (in the sense that it subverts then confirms and plays with various superhero tropes) but with a bit more goofyness. The goofyness mostly comes from Megamind himself who is flamboyant and fun and has what I think is the BEST ANIMATED SMILE EVER. His smile is adorable and hilarious and wonderfully natural. Plus I have a thing for goody-two-shoe villains, i'm quite happy. So yeah. Good movie. I don't think it tops How to Train your Dragon, but it's still in the same vein. Most of the humor is based on wacky body movement and language and witty dialog. So I had fun.
Also, good god, so much leather.
The movie had an interesting storyline, but it wasn't unpredictable. Like Megamind himself, it's good old predictable villainery. However, the different twists and turn to get to the classical points in the movie that are interesting. It's kinda like the movie is a weird baseball game. They hit all the usual bases, but they do wacky and intricate backflips instead of running to one or another in a straight line. The way the story is told is really interesting too. Basically, you kinda expect where the movie is going, but the ride to get there is the original part. And I find that often makes the best stories. Familiar yet twisty.
My favorite part is how they decided to open with the ending. Very interesting storytelling choice.
And now for mild spoilers and spoiler-ish art :
( Mild spoilers. Read if you've seen it, or if you're going like... tomorrow )
Oh. Stay after the animated credits. Little spoof visible there.
And I must say : teen Megamind is the cutest thing ever. End of story.
And the music is by Hans Zimmer, so officially chock full of epic.
ALSO "BAD TO THE BONE" PLAYS. This had me rolling in my seat, laughing.
