Though he is the most brilliant supervillain the world has known, Megamind is the least successful. Thwarted time and again by heroic Metro Man, Megamind is more surprised than anyone when he actually manages to defeat his longtime enemy. But without Metro Man, Megamind has no purpose in life, so he creates a new opponent, who quickly decides that it's more fun to be a bad guy than a hero.

Critics Consensus

It regurgitates plot points from earlier animated efforts, and isn't quite as funny as it should be, but a top-shelf voice cast and strong visuals help make Megamind a pleasant, if unspectacular, diversion.

Its story's third-act inversions still provide a pointed rebuke to superhero narratives' set-in-stone dynamics.

3.5/5

It's a sassy comedy with a lot of one-liners, some of which apparently came from improvisation between Ferrell and Fey, both in good vocal form. The quality of animation is outstanding, as you would expect.

3.5/5

A full-bodied, busy-as-heck, funny-as-heck comedy adventure from Dreamworks that merrily riffs -- in its own fractured way -- on the Superman legend.

3/5

"Megamind" tackles and covers fascinating and uncharted ground. Not only is this kind of story become interesting to the adult viewers, but very cool for the kids who get to root for the bad guy.

...in the depth of stories the company are telling, comparatively Megamind feels cheap...

Evil defeats Good, Evil creates Good, but turns bad like a bowlful of yogurt left in the sun, Evil turns Good to fight said yogurt. Kids loved it, watched it an unfathomable amount of times, still enjoy it, lots of great lines and a soundtrack that rocked. Crabnuggets indeed, Tighten your belts and pop your pop-pid corn of deliciousness and sit back and enjoy a wonderful movie.

There's nothing more to say about this movie. How can you not give such a great film the recognition it deserves? As a kid, it was already a coveted prize, even from an unknown production company. And now that it's grown up, and considering how its predecessor ruined it, all that's left is to enjoy it and pretend there wasn't a prequel.
