MEGAMIND (Theatrical Release USA 2010)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì

Megamind—a superhero movie with a bit of a twist—has a good storyline and plays well. The acting/portrayal is good. The voices are well done. It is interesting, despite the fact, that there’s not a lot of ‘new and novel’ here to work well within the comic universe.
