Megamind Review

Blue is the new hero!!!

Yes, still now I understand, and even convinced what is the difference between an animation studio DreamWorks from Pixar or Disney . It is not much goes into detail . I do not know whether this can be considered a plus or not, but not all the cartoons the studio can be called masterpieces. Unlike a Pixar,DreamWorks is a risk that the cartoon is not something that will fail, but the flamed film critics or audiences. Of course, this does not always happen, but this was. For example, "Shrek the Third" very disappointed fans franchise. I will not, of course, discuss now why, but it says that the studio is capable of, and errors. As serious and not so. But it also has the best work, except the first and second "Shrek" can still mention the "How to Train Your Dragon", which has pleasantly surprised the audience. And now, after a brief introduction, I begin to describe the new work studio.

From "Megamind" I expected a little more than received, but the impression all the same remains good. I have to say, this cartoon is much better than "I'm Ugly", which has a similar idea. And although " Megamind " was released later than the "ugly self, the creation of DreamWorks does not seem trite. He has significant advantages, but, unfortunately, and the creators have made plenty of mistakes. Explain the order.

The plot of this cartoon is enough original and unpredictable. The protagonist - Megamind, being with the dead planet, which has blue skin and a highly developed mind.  Another little baby, he gets on this earth, but with him there arrives and his future enemy - Metroman, a humanoid alien with super-abilities. It can be considered a direct analogue of the world-famous Superman. His show us how narcissistic and selfish hero who is ready to help mankind. Villain same Megamind, it seems as repressed Metroman person who realizes that he will inevitably have to become a global villain and an enemy who will fight to the end Metroman. So, after many adventures and events Megamind still kills superhero and initially pleased. But later realizes that his life has become meaningless. Herein lies the main distinguishing feature of the cartoon.

This animated picture breaks down stereotypes of superhero films and gives us realize that after all the villains are not without heroes. And vice versa. Next Megamind trying to create a new superhero, the Titan, but it is not the way it should be. Likely to light a new villain, and now Megamind will have to fight with him and find previously the hero love, human love. Original? Absolutely. And this cartoon does not seem to break, he is not much stands out. Everything has been designed in the classical traditions of any kids cartoon: exposition, conflict and resolution. The creation of DreamWorks is not much surprise the audience, there is nothing new, there is a funny and charismatic characters, sometimes comical and naive humor, exciting battles and touching scenes. In "Megamind" as opposed to "I'm Ugly" virtually no flaws.

But the error still there . First and foremost, this is difficult to capture the atmosphere of the painting. If the action takes place in a fictional town Metrociti, the cartoon is simply obliged to attend a saturated atmosphere of the business metropolis. The creators had to create their own, unique world, full of boundless imagination. But they did not. The whole plot is built only on cartoon characters and the main idea. In the rest of the picture is no joy and no surprise. I have it personally a little disappointed. The creators have made a few logical fallacies. For example, when the two villains fighting each other, one of them cuts the most important and tallest building in the city in half, and then runs it in his enemy.After which it is, of course, collapses and turns into splinters and dust. The question immediately arises: as the creators do not take into account the fact that the skyscraper might be people? This is also the main business building in Metrociti and work there innocent citizens. And one of the villains took, and destroyed it. Of course, they're fighting right in town, like kids in a sandbox squabble. But still: where is the logic? In the picture there is still a couple of mistakes, which is quite acceptable for a children's cartoon, but not desirable.

But there can be commended computer graphics . Each time, it is becoming more perfect and more perfect, and Megamind "that is no exception. Here, beautifully drawn and all the major parts of the city, and although the atmosphere, as I said, do not feel Metrociti anyway looks very plausible. Another advantage is the characters themselves, which are very similar to real people. Their faces and manners of behavior seem to be sometimes very human, and they are drawn well in contrast to the "I'm Ugly", where characters are and square, and angled shape of the head. In "Megamind" as each character is shown is plausible.
