Megamind Review "Where did you park the invisible car...? "

Two Thumbs Up!

This afternoon we went to go see Megamind.  I wasn't overly excited to go see this movie.  I have come to believe that the studios feel that if they take any movie, no matter how bad...computer generate it, and distribute it in 3D...it automatically will be a hit.  So what I've found is that movie makers have taken crap ideas, computer generated them and most recently, added poor quality 3D.  In the end all you have is computer generated, kinda 3D crap.  This is what I was expecting when I saw Megamind, I must say I was pleasantly surprised.
The quality of the Animation was good.  I don't think it was anything revolutionary...but it was well done.  For me most importantly it didn't distract from the story.
Will Ferrel, Tina Fey, and Jonah Hill do a great job as the voices of the main characters.  You can hear the classic Will Ferrel voice through the character.  
I think the part I liked the most was the subtle use of Superhero cliches through out the movie.  The hidden sanctuary/secret lair.  In fact it was fun to see how many I could find.  Again there were worked into the plot, quite well.
I didn't have to worry about my kids watching the movie.  There was no humor that made me cringe at the thought of my kids repeating it.  This was a big relief to me as I'm sure that I'll end up with this DVD, and I'm sure my kids will watch it over and over and over.  
Overall it was a fun movie.  It made for a great afternoon flick!
