Author Topic: Megamind (2010) David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 11-07-2010 07:16 PM                        Today at Regal 15 in Eugene, #9, NEC 2K DLP + RealD XL 3D. No presentation issues except the usual relative 3D dimness. The majority of the movie was boring to the point of making me sleepy. Megamind is the weakest animated feature of this type I've seen in a long time. Very few good laughs. Sorry but The good news is they now have the Regal Roller Coaster policy in DCI format so at least that rocked.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 11-07-2010 07:53 PM                     I screened it in 2D and enjoyed it quite a bit. I thought it was pretty funny overall.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 11-08-2010 11:33 AM                        There were lots of kids in the audience who seemed to get restless in certain stretches of the movie and there were few laugh-out-loud moments from the adults. I dunno. Maybe everyone was a little "off" from the time change.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 11-08-2010 04:58 PM                     from what I've read this is Dreamworks first discrete 7.1 release.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-08-2010 05:30 PM                        I've heard nothing but good things about this movie, though it does appear to be kind of a rip off of Incredibles. Dreamworks is always kind of "me too" with their animation. Nobody can match Pixar. Dreamworks (and others) kind of remind me of cheap foreign knock-offs of real products.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-08-2010 06:43 PM                        Haven't watched this yet but I've listened to it from my office. The movie just sounds like a series of one-liners quite a bit of the time. But not hearing a lot of laughter out of the crowd here. It's certainly not getting the unanimous "that was awesome!" reaction that we got from Toy Story 3 and Despicable Me.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 11-09-2010 11:55 AM                     I've seen this a couple times now. It really is the worst of the Animated stuff for the year so far. Its really not funny at all, has a couple of moments that got a chuckle, but no funny hahaha out loud moments. Space Dad might of been the best part for me. Also, they made Megamind look like a blue Neil Patrick Harris. 2/5  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-09-2010 10:36 PM                        Ug. Does Neil Patrick Harris do Megamind's voice? That reminds me of that underwater Shark CGI movie from one of these non-Pixar shady animation places where Martin Scorsese provided one of the voices. They gave his fish huge-ass eyebrows just so you would know it was Martin Scorsese. Facepalm!  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 11-09-2010 10:59 PM                     Megamind's voice is Will Ferrel.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-09-2010 11:15 PM                        Shows how much I've researched this movie. Granted it'd probably be far better with Neil Patrick Harris than Will Ferrel.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 11-10-2010 01:19 AM                     quote: Chris Slycord Megamind's voice is Will Ferrel. Whew! Thanks for saving me the hassle. The only thing worse than Will Ferrel's voice is Owen Wilson's voice.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Great, great movie.  |  IP: Logged
