Megamind
A baby born in another planet is sent to Earth to save his life from the destruction of his homeworld. Sounds familiar? Well this one is not Superman but a new character from the creators of Monsters vs Aliens. His name is Megamind and unlike the Kryptonian, this one grows, by circumstances mostly, to become a supervillain and as all good supervillains he has a superhero that thwarts his every plan called Metro Man. The whole point of Megamind’s life is to destroy Metro Man so when accidentally he “destroys” his nemesis, Megamind gets so bored he creates a new superhero called Tighten (pronounced Titan). What Megamind cannot foresee is that his creation decides to become a bitter supervillain so in order to save Metro City Megamind is forced to show his heroic side and defeat Tighten himself.
This is not a superhero movie, it’s an animated movie for all ages which behind the story shows interesting things such as how people just because you’re unattractive (Megamind is a big-headed blue alien) and clumsy deem you as unfit. This label signs you forever and in the case of Megamind becomes the definition of his life when in reality he’s someone else. Just the same when a dull cameraman is given superpowers the possession of those powers corrupts him entirely and permanently when he becomes Tighten. That and several elements such as, of course, the voices: Brad Pitt voices Metro Man and Will Ferrel is Megamind, the story which is well-paced and the animation that is impeccable. A movie to see, but also to comment with your children if you’re a concerned parent who wants to teach some values to your kid.
