Ed: Okay so I’m a cartoon made in CS Flash so when ever I get the chance to see fellow animations in their 3D world. I am always in wonder and awe. Now myself and Larry will tell you what we think of Megamind. With the amount of Superhero films taking the box office it’s time for the villains to get the stage.

Larry: The 3D animated comedy feature by Dreamworks is a story focused on the big, blue, bald, bulbous headed villain ‘Megamind’

Ed: Ooo, Larry nice alliteration. You’ve been reading haven’t you.

Larry: Alliteration what’s that?

Ed: Why do I bother?…Megamind can be seen very similar to ‘Despicable Me’. Megamind, a villain with a vast amount of weapons with minions who realise he is not as villainous as he thought. In fact comparing it to other Superhero films like my good friends ‘The Incredibles’ the film does lack some depth.

Larry: You think ? …oh and I just googled alliteration. Who knew I had it in me lol.

Ed: Yeah I’m trying to contain my excitement ¬_¬ but back to the matter. You have Metro man (Brad Pitt) much like Mr. Incredible and you’re classic superhero. Strong features, chisel chin and muscle always defeating Megamind. In their latest of battle Megamind manages to defeat Metro Man.

Larry: He must have been thrilled !

Ed: You don’t know the half of it. I guess this is where the film shines with it’s visual gags which I must admit produce mega laughs.

Larry: Such as the use of a parody of Shepard Fairey’s Obama poster with the new slogan ‘NO YOU CAN’T ‘. Also with the whole Mega Rap.

Ed: So now the story needs a catalyst here to get it moving. Megamind realises things are not sound without Metro man.

I’m a villain without a hero. A ying with no Yang

So being the clever guy he is. He gives powers to Hal (Jonah Hill), the goofy cameraman.

Larry: So far you’ve voiced you’re opinion and it seems like you’ve have enjoyed it.

Ed: Larry don’t you see it though. The plot kind of well lack depth. There’s not much diving force. Dreamworks need to take a note from Pixar and the way they focus on a well paced story.

Larry: Jheeze. You’ve met Mr. Incredible once at a dinner party and all you do now is like Pixar’s ass. You have to admit Will Ferrell produces plenty of funny moments and the visuals of the movie are ‘incredible’. I wouldn’t mind taking a step of this 2D plane and into the 3D world.

Ed: Okay. What book have you been reading? You’re using puns now and fair enough I’m going a little bit hard on Dreamworks but I have to say. Just here me out. Don’t you feel it’s just like any other hero movie premise and nothing has been changed. Check this out from Hollywood Streams before you make up you’re mind.

Ed: All I’m saying is with
