Megamind

            Megamind is a 2010 animated family comedy.  It stars Will Farrell (Step Brothers) as Megamind, Brad Pitt (Inglorious Basterds) as Metro Man, Tina Fey (30 Rock) as Roxanne Ritchi, and Jonah Hill (Superbad) as Tighten.  The movie was directed  by Tom McGrath who is also known for making the hit kids films Madagascar and Madagascar 2.

            The film is about two aliens who's planets are being destroyed by a black hole and are sent into outer space towards Earth by their parents so that they have a chance of surviving.  The two aliens end up being Megamind (Farrell) and Metro Man (Pitt).  The two infants crash land on Earth and Metro Man ends up in a upper class mansion and as where Megamind crashes into a prison.  As the two of them grow up, Megamind, having landed in the prison, grows up to believe that he is supposed to be a villain, and that he should hate Metro Man because he has everything.  As the two grow up they rival each other and as adults their rivalry's scale becomes much larger than playground bullying.  One day when doing their usual theatrics, Megamind ends up killing Metro Man while the entire city watches via cameras recording the event live.  With Metro Man dead, most would expect Megamind to celebrate, instead he feels rather guilty and bored over the death of his nemesis and also begins to fall for Metro Man's girlfriend.  Now Megamind embarks on a journey to create a new hero for Metro City to worship, as well as a new nemesis to keep him entertained.

            The film had some pretty solid comedy.  And most of the voice work was very solid.  Especially Will Farrell's performance.  However, the voice recording for Jonah his was absolutely terrible.  His voice and the facial expressions of the character do not match at all most of the film.  I found this to be extremely annoying and very distracting while watching the film.  The other thing that I had an issue with while watching the film was some of the character models.  Tina Fey's character model definitely did not suit her voice.  The expressions matched the audio's delivery, but the character model didn't match Tina Faye's voice.

            Overall, the movie is pretty good.  With some pretty solid family comedy and good performances from Will Farrell and Brad Pitt.  However, a poor voice performance from Jonah Hill and poor character design for Tina Fey's character cause some irritation while watching the feature and prevents it from becoming as memorable as it could have been.
