No, just lucky to have been at Movie-con at the Southbank all weekend. Saw Hole 3D as well. I'll try and get a review up of that at some point.

I wasn't as impressed as Kevin, I enjoyed it, but I was annoyed that it was funny without much plot, and they wasted lots of famous people on small voice roles that could have been done by lesser known, superior voice artists.
Still, it was funny, if very slight, and the 3D works well enough to make it worth the price, especially with the end credits having ladders, measuring tape, a minion flying around the screen, all for the 3D effect.

Hmm... I don't know why, I haven't read much about Despicable Me, but I find it quite similar to Megamind in feel anyway
