I’ve been fascinated with the concept of Super Heroes since I was a child. Comic books served as a conduit to tales of universes filled with extraordinary beings and adventures. Fast forward several years to an era that includes spectacularly animated feature films as well as realistic looking CGI in live action movies and one could argue we are living in the golden age of Super Hero storytelling. Therefore the expectations built up for the widely anticipated DreamWorks comedic animated feature film “MegaMind” were perhaps insurmountably high. At the theatre in which my son and I watched the movie, the audience level of excitement quickly transformed from palpable engagement to one of indifference.
