Rated: PG

Sypnosis: When Megamind kills off the city's favourite hero, Metro Man - much to the surprise of everyone, including himself, he suddenly finds that having everything he wants isn't so much fun when no one's trying to fight him for it. Naturally, he devises an ingenious plan using the deceased Metro Man's DNA to create and train a new hero to fight against him. Unfortunately, when his DIY-hero strays from the plan, and the situation is further complicated by an unexpected romance and a fallout with his best-fish, Minion, Megamind finds himself having to decide whose side he was really cut out to fight for.

Ok, so I promised a review of Megamind in my last post. I actually wanted to share my first experience with Boxing Day Sales today/what I got for Christmas yesterday, but I really can't be bothered uploading the photos now so that can wait for later :)


I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, even though we missed the opening few scenes trying to sneak in some popcorn and ice-creams, and even though I was really confused as I thought we were seeing Megamind II (there isn't one. That was just me being a retard because I saw adverts for Megamind a millenium ago featuring Metro Man saving the city, and then I saw the recent ads featuring Megamind wanting to become a good guy so I got a bit confuzzled :P)


I loved the storyline, and I loved the characters. I loved EVERYTHING! There were laughs all the way through to the very end and even though I suppose the essence of the plotline has been done before, I really don't think you feel that way coming out of the movie. It wasn't just another kids holiday movie to me, there was something very endearing about the characters and the exploration of what was going behind the facade that people had built up for them which made it thoroughly plausible and extremely enjoyable to watch. And I loved the fact that an unlikely hero saves the day in the end. All in all, it was an excellent film and I definitely recommend everyone to see it these holidays, if you can find a little kid to rent for the day. If not, I really do think everyone in the theatre will be too engrossed in the screen to care that you'll be the oldest person there aside from the pensioners taking their grandkids.


Hope you all had a lovely Christmas!


Take care,
