REVIEW | Megamind (2011)



Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, and Brad Pitt come together in an animated 3D story of a villain, and how that villain came to be. It's a depressing tale of this blue guy ridiculed all his life, a consistent failure, and who has never had an experience of normal human affection until he decided to disguise himself as some intellectual dweeb. And yeah, it's a comedy.

The dialogue rarely made me laugh, and the story is essentially all about the sad, depressing existence of insecure losers masked by not-so-witty dialogue, making me wistfully think of the real Will Ferrell instead of watching this Megamind character.

Megamind is heartbreaking, sparsely funny, sometimes corny and mostly boring. I expected laughter from the guts, and I didn't get it.
1 out of 5 stars
