Mega Mind

Metro Man; superhero with super powers. Mega Mind; super villain with super intelligence. The two have been rivals since birth, continuously battling for control of Metro City. As one of their routine scuffles is coming to an end, something unexpected happens...Mega Mind wins, giving the bad guy all he ever wanted, or so he thought.

This was a fun yet average addition to the DreamWorks library of animated films, about at the Monsters VS Aliens level. As with the aforementioned movie, it has a very fun idea with a lot of potential but fails to give in to the moments that could have given it the heart it needed to be solid. It seems like it didn't take itself quite serious enough, maybe in an attempt to keep more Will Ferrel type humor. The visuals are amazing, especially in 3D, and there's some fun and endearing moments. But overall it's pretty forgettable. I also thought Brad Pitt's character was a little under-used. I think it's out of theaters by now, but worth a rental when it shows up at RedBox.

**1/2 out of 4 - Rentable
