It was amazing. It was on the plane on the way home and I was bored so I figured what the hell, but I had the same reservations as you. I either love Will Ferrell films or hate them, and I'm not to big on Brad Pitt and I can't stand Jonah Hill in anything, but like I said, I was stuck on a plane for six hours and bored, so figured I'd try it and if it was bad, I'd just read or go to sleep.
Imagine my surprise when I was totally blown away by it. It was really cute and really clever and I loved all the characters. I'm much more about hand-drawn animation than computer animated stuff and luckily it wasn't in 3-d on the plane (was it in the theatre?) so I didn't have to deal with that.
I think it was just so well written and the characters so engaging that it grabbed me, plus the way it played with comic book tropes/cliches. I'm loving your comic and I meant to say that when I saw the film, I picked up a slashy vibe between Megamind and Metro Man and I rarely pick up on that. LOL
anyway, keep up the brilliant work! It's fantastic. :)
