Megamind (2010)


Director: Tom McGrath 

Producers: Lara Breay, Denise Nolan Cascino.

Cast: Will Ferrell (Megamind), Tina Fey (Roxanne Ritchi), Jonah Hill (Hal Stewart), Brad Pitt (Metro Man).

A really funny parody of the traditional superhero movie and a one where a villain is a hero, Megamind (2010) is the perfect spoof.

One day, a big brain guy is seen falling into a lake. He tells his story up till then. When he was only eight days old, his planet was sucked into a black hole. He was sent from an escape pod to Earth, with a piranha named Minion. From a neighboring planet, a (better) escape pod comes out of it containing ‘Mr Goody-Two-shoes’. From that day, both of them became rivals. The guy in the better space pod landed in a mansion and the one with minion landed in a prison in the same city. Both became lifelong rivals, turned superhero and supervillain. One day, the one in the prison and the one in the mansion named Megamind and Metro Man respectively, engage in Armageddon and Megamind kills Metro man. With the whole of Metro City under Megamind’s control, Megamind and Minion have fun everywhere.  Megamind starts felling empty and creates a new superhero out of Hal Stewart, a dim-witted cameraman of news reporter Roxanne Ritchi. However, Hal, now going as Tighten, learns that being a villain is more fun.  The rest of the movie is yours to see.

WARNING! SPOILERS ALERT.

I love this movie. My favorite now, second only to Mr. Peabody and Sherman (2014). Megamind (the character) is totally hilarious. His pronunciation of ‘hello’ is the funniest*. Minion is a perfect balance of ‘I will listen to my master’ and ‘I can deny with my master’. The running gag of Minion correcting Megamind is really funny. The most shown invention of Megamind’s is the shapeshifting thing, where you can change your looks and voice to someone else’s*. Why does Megamind consider his high-controlled prison ‘home’*? His lair is his home*. Because he lives there for most of the movie. The Metro man Museum* Is great. Did that consist of a figure of a superhero’s DNA or Metro Man’s DNA*? Ben Stiller’s cameo as Bernard is cool. The elements for being a superhero are true*. I will develop them and be a real superhero 😊. Roxanne doesn’t really need saving, she is someone who can think for herself. Anyways, this movie is FLAWLESS!

*spoilers

I wholeheartedly recommend this movie because:

  1.         It has great comedy.
  2.        It has amazing characters.
  3.        It has perfect animation.
  4.        It has great fight scenes.
  5.        Overall, THE MOVIE IS TREMENDOUS!

Contrastingly, his son Aditya Lele, or Aale, is an extreme workaholic, constantly having calls, conferences, meetings, presentations, and having very little, if any time for himself and his family. How much ever Ole tries to get Aale to do anything, he never manages to do anything with him. One time, after Aale fails to appear for a dinner at home, Ole, in sadness, apparently flees the house. Confused, Aale and their house helper, Baburao, rush to the police station and ask everybody about Ole’s whereabouts. Turns out, Ole was always at home, simply hiding. It was all a ploy to get Aale to stay at home and cancel his meeting in Delhi. Du
