Megamind?
Try Megabore!
Honest to God, I knew I shouldn't have waisted my time with this movie when I learned Will Farrell was involved in it. But I told myself, "Self, don't be a prejudicial asshole. Sure, you can't stand Will Farrell in live action roles, but he's doing voiceover in this movie. So you probably won't want to rip your spleen out in the first fifteen minutes."
Well, self, you were right. I didn't want to rip my spleen out in the first fifteen minutes of this movie. I wanted to rip the spleen out of whoever did the writing and voice casting for this piece of epic unfunniness.
Interestingly enough, I have no problem with Farrell's work doing the voice of Megamind. My problem is with the writers who worked on this piece of crap. Honestly! I know comedy isn't easy to do, guys, but make an effort!
And how about a storyline that isn't so cookie-cutter predictable? Everyone and their brother knew what was going to happen. And I'm not talking adults here either, I'm talking kids. I had kids sitting next to me who were sighing from boredom. The only reason I stayed is because I thought the ending might be worth the effort.
Boy was I wrong!
On the Melworks Scale of Movie Love, I have to give Megamind a solid one. Don't waste your time watching this movie, unless it's on network television at 1:00 in the morning and you're too damned drunk to use the remote control.
