TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3452: ![]() Dad and I were scanning through the lists at our local RedBox kiosk, and thought that this would be good for all of us to see together. Tina had seen the previews of it at the 2010 San Diego Comic Con International, (aka SDCC), which had been shown to those attending in the Hall 'H'. It was shown in 3D with 3-D glasses being distributed to the attendees. She thought that the 3D made it feel like you really were in the city when Metro Man was flying about. You can see Tina's thoughts on the SDCC panel at this link, Blog #3209 from August 10th of 2010. I personally feel that the story had a nice twist which kept this from being another boring story of good versus evil. The characters had great chemistry, and the voices of them were perfect for their roles. It was also funny that Metro Man didn't actually die; it was faked. He just wanted to follow his dreams of music and wanted to become Music Man, to keep his initials of course! The music fit in well with the movie. They were all songs relating to being bad including: 'Bad to the Bone', 'Highway to Hell', and Michael Jackson's 'Bad'. It was quite funny due to the timing of which the songs were played. I found it interesting that the producers of the film kept alluding to the story of Superman from DC Comics. Kind of like how 'The Incredibles' seemed to be really simillar to the Fantastic Four from Marvel Comics...! We all enjoyed the movie, but ended up with different comic book ratings! Tina gave it an 8.0 / VF, and my dad gave it a 9.0 / VF/NM, due to the comic book mythos alluding to Superman and other heroes. I give 'Megamind' a 9.2, NM-, due to the great voicing, great characters and roles, and great overall presentation. This would make a really good family viewing DVD to watch! ![]() ![]() ~Vinnie! -------------------------------------
