Feature length animations! HAR HAR! They’re funny aren’t they? You’re only ever 2 feet away from someone who is thinking “it’s good this film because it has some jokes for the adults in as well!” INNUENDO! HAR HAR!
Of course, these things are all exercises in cynicism, but y’know, all films are aren’t they? Why are we even whining about it? We’re jaded, that’s why. Please don’t copy our attitude and behaviour because it’ll only end up in a failed cry for help.
Anyway, (cue: Fanfare) From the studio that brought you ‘Shrek’, ‘Madagascar’ and ‘Kung Fu Panda’ comes a film about a diabolical super-villain called Megamind who has failed to conquer Earth for over 20 years. That’s because caped superhero Metro Man keeps getting in his way.
That changes one day when Megamind accidentally kills Metro Man in the throes of one of his evil schemes.
Suddenly finding himself without a foe to overcome, the despondent evil genius decides that the only way out of his rut is to create a new super rival. He's a bigger, better and stronger opponent than Metro Man ever was.
But when the former good guy begins to wage his own war aimed at destroying the world, Megamind must decide: Can he defeat his own now diabolical creation? Can the world's smartest man make the smart decision for once? Can the Evil Genius switch sides and become the Hero of his own story?
And here’s the new trailer for DreamWorks Animation?s Megamind, which stars Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. The film is out December 3rd, just in time for Christmas cash-in on action figures and lunch boxes.
