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.

B

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...

I saw Megamind once as a kid many years ago. It was a whole lot of fun and I enjoyed it a lot. I decided to rewatch it today because I finally wanted to check out its garbage sequel, but first, I wanted a refresher on the original. What I found was beautiful. The movie is still as funny, clever, emotional, and impressive as it was the first time I saw it. Plus lots of fun callbacks to older superhero movies it’s spoofing. I especially love "Space Dad" just being a kind of stupid impression of Marlon Brando playing Jor-El in the first Superman movie. If you’re my age, you will see SO many different scenes from this movie that were turned into memes. Stuff you didn’t even remember. It’s so funny seeing it now. Megaminds character arc throughout the film was just so heartwarming and made me genuinely attached to his struggles. This is probably one of the best examples of a kids movie I’ve ever seen. 4/5 stars. While it’s great, it didn’t change my life or anything. Fun film.

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.
