Damn that score, that comedy, that action and those characters. Great movie for babys and non-babys.

Anti-heroes are damn popular but not this underdog. There haven't been any animated movie which tells you a story about an under-dog villain. This is one.

I'm constantly thinking about a better timeline in which Megamind did better than Despicable Me

Every so often I watch a film with limited enthusiasm, simply because I have time me to kill. On these occasions I sometimes stumble across a true delight and am pleasantly surprised...a film that maybe had "mixed" reviews or that received little attention upon its release. Megamind is such a film; a great work of animation and character development.

The film should delight adults and children with enough in it to satisfy all tastes. There is also plenty of amusing and hilarious satire with regard to superhero movies and super villains.

Many superheros and villains are often depicted as wholly good or wholly bad, having at best some traumatic event setting them on their inevitable and unchangeable course. This film actually highlights certain sources of inner turmoil and insecurities of the characters in a very entertaining way and develops the characters as they work these out.

There's also plenty of rip roaring action on the way.

Great stuff! Highly recommended!

A faultless and incredibly charismatic little superhero film, Megamind may stand on the shoulders of other superhero flicks before its time, but it also provides such unique and creative differences that raise the bar higher than ever before. I have been a fan of Dreamworks Animation for a long time, I grew up watching it, and I always would prefer it to Disney flicks and other animated adventures that would come out throughout the years. Megamind is easily one of my favorite, and one of their most underrated films to date. Yes it relies on the Clark Kent vs Lex Luthor type of formula, as really most superhero films do, but it took a chance with its ambitious ideas and made it work so well, you can't help but forgive it. The film was largely overshadowed at the time by its animated competeter, Despicable Me which was a delightful surprise, but in my opinion no where near as close as smart and funny as this film. The film has such a great character with Megamind, who isn't just a bad guy, but someone who turns to bad to find a purpose- to feel fit in the world around him, even if it means being feared. The animation is fantastic and the voice work is tremendously on point, Will Ferrell (as he does with so many of his characters) brings so much life to Megamind- in a performance you will truly never forget. The soundtrack is fabulously done by veteran composer Hans Zimmer, and the script is incredibly sharp, with so many moments looking back upon that were truly ahead of its time. In the end, I feel we don't deserve a film like Megamind, but neverless we got it and it came with flair to spare. I love this film, and I encourage anyone who doubted its genius, to give it another try.

My Rating: 10/10.

Awesome and very funny with a good story and good heart. Great musical score by two of my favorite composers. Well-made all around.

The blue-skinned, bulbous-headed, shape-shifting, malapropism-spouting space-creature known as Megamind (Will Ferrell) prides himself on being the baddest bad guy around. His arch nemesis Metro Man (Brad Pitt), also a creature from beyond this world, is a squeaky-clean, universally beloved superhero who literally walks on water and keeps thwarting the plans Megamind has for ruling Metro City (which he mistakenly pronounces "metrocity"). When Megamind, much to his own surprise actually, manages to do away with Metro Man in a contentious battle-to-the-death, he begins to realize that being a villain isn't all it's cracked up to be without a worthy hero to call an opponent. Thus, Megamind hatches a plot to clone another Metro Man figure out of some remnants of the dead hero's DNA. But Megamind gets more than he bargained for when his creation comes to life.

Though "Megamind, " directed by Todd McGrath, has the distinction of being one of the only family-oriented animated films ever to feature a bad guy as its main character, the movie may be too cerebral and esoteric to completely enthrall children and too undisciplined and gimmicky to appeal all that much to adults. Still, the movie has a clean, sparkling look, filled with a whole host of futuristic devices in the foreground and stunning cityscapes in the background, and it moves fast enough to keep its audience focused on the screen for the duration. It also features the voice of Tina Fey as the Sweet Polly Purebred-type TV news reporter who is a constant bone of contention between Metro Man and Megamind - and Jonah Hill and Ben Stiller add their own vocal support in minor but key roles. And the script by Alan Schoolcraft and Brent Simons contains an interesting subtext about the rewards and sacrifices that come with being both a hero and a villain, a subtext that brings an added dimension to the movie.

I don't remember the last time I enjoyed an animated movie this much! One reason being the gorgeous 3D animation-I mean...look at Minion's dome! I was gee-king inside and out on how detailed this movie is from the characters to the scenery. Every time I watch the movie, I always spot something new! Megamind shouldn't have been advertised as a full blown comedy, because this movie held plenty of deep lessons to be learned and so laughter was a little on the offside at times, but those tender moments were probably the best part of the movie! Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, and especially David Cross impressed me with their voice acting talent! I felt as though they ARE the characters...it just felt real to me.

Megamind has a lot of great lines and is a great family film! A must see!

This film is about a villain who loses his sense of purpose after his enemy, the hero, dies in a battle.

"Megamind" tells the story of a wounded boy who turns villainous to build his identity. The plot continues to be emotionally complex throughout the whole plot, as he struggles with the lost of identity after the death of the superhero. "Megamind" is probably the most emotionally complex animation I have seen.

There are also much for kids to enjoy. The film is exciting, with lots of superhero action and fighting. The characters are well designed but I don't see them as being very cuddly, which may not bode well to merchandise sales.

Watched this for the first time a few months ago rough as hell, and I never watch children's movies, however I was getting well into it.

Watched it again last night,l to see if it actually held up. It was funny, easy to watch. And the A-list voice casting made it entertaining. The animation is fantastic, the soundtrack rocks and the story is compelling.

I would watch this again in a few years or if I had to chose a movie for some kids. This movie is entirely suitable for adults and kids and does teach a few lessons. For example Jonah Hill's character gives off incel vibes and the film discourages his insecurities. It also goes into how riches won't make you happy and how you need a purpose to feel satisfaction. And how good and bad aren't always black and white, life is full of surprising compromises.

Just chuck it on and see for yourself.

I tend to watch all the new animated movies that come out nowadays. It's simply amazing to watch each new advancement with each new movie. Megamind truly was enjoyable to watch, all the details and small touches made it a wonderful show. Just the right amount of humor and seriousness, with a strong love interest. It's everything I was looking for in a movie. The character, Megamind himself, voiced with Will Ferrel makes him seriously lovable, how can we not love a silly underdog trying his best? Music for the movie I felt was perfect picks for each type of scene, they seem to give the movie much more power! I want to see much more of these characters, I've already seen it a few times in the theaters, 3D and normal, each time unforgettable!

Please Dreamworks, keep going with this one, its a true winner in my book, I would just love to see more!!

The supervillain Megamind finally defeats his nemesis, the superhero Metro Man. But without a hero, he loses all purpose and must find new meaning to his life.

Of the animated films in the last ten years, "Megamind" does not seem to get a lot of love. Which is a real shame. Because although it may be basically a Superman spoof, it is a very clever and very funny spoof. And with Will Ferrell and Tina Fey, it's hard to beat. (Jonah Hill could have been replaced.) Is it too late for a sequel? Because there really ought to be one, even if it seems that "Despicable Me" has the animated villain market covered.

I like how Jonah Hill and J.K. simmons do the voices of some of these characters. Great film!

Following the destruction of two alien planets, both simultaneously send single escape pods carrying infants who are the last of their respective races. Both escape pods head to Metro City with one pod carrying a humanoid with eye catching hair crash-lands into a life of privilege and luxury and grows up to become the superhero Metro Man (Brad Pitt), while the other lands in Metro City's Prison for the criminally gifted and its bald blue skinned occupant is raised by criminals in the way of villainy to become Megamind (Will Ferrell) alongside his talking fish with a robot body, Minion(David Cross). The two become archenemies with Megamind repeatedly launching failed attempts at either world domination or destroying Metro Man often by kidnapping reported Roxanne Ritchi (Tina Fey). When Megamind's plan against all odds actually manages to kill Metro Man , Megamind's victory lap turns into existential ennui as his villainy loses its appeal with no-one trying to stop him. Megamind, against the advice of minion tries to create a new superhero to fight against, and finds what he thinks is a suitable candidate in Roxanne's geeky and emotionally clingy camera man, Hal Stewart (Jonah Hill). Megamind begins a relationship with Roxanne after stilling the identity of museum curator Bernard (Ben Stiller) and begins to question villainy, but Hal's obsession with Roxanne and jealousy soon leads to him becoming a threat that only Megamind can stop.

Megamind was one of three films released by Dreamworks in 2010, along with Shrek Forever After and How to Train Your Dragon. While 2010 was a very crowded year for animated films that featured not only two other Dreamworks movies, but also Toy Story 3 and Tangled, the biggest fly in Megamind's ointment came from Chris Meledandri's upstart Universal based animation studio Illumination which scored a breakout hit with Despicable Me 5 months before Megamind's release. Due to the fact that both movies were essentially "inverted takes on The Incredibles" where the focal point was on Supervillains, Despicable Me ended up with a massive first mover advantage leaving audiences feeling they'd already seen the concept by the time Megamind hit theaters five months after Despicable Me. As a result Megamind was on the lower end box office wise for an animated film, doing well enough with $320 million against its $130 million budget, but not to the level expected for a film of this ilk. Megamind boasts a solid premise, but it doesn't take full advantage of it.

Will Ferrell is having a lot of fun playing the alien supervillain Megamind and there's a good amount of humor mined from him being a technologically advanced genius but also bungling at basic social conventions or his frequent mispronunciation of words such as calling "School" "Shool" or "Metro City" "Metrocity". Will Ferrell's scenes with David Cross' Minion are rich with pitch perfect comedic timing as the two form a memorable comic duo with entertaining and engaging banter. Tina Fey is also quite good as a grounding agent playing a Lois Lane analogue who reacts to Megamind's plans with scoffing derision and boredom or mild annoyance at being kidnapping fodder. We also have a really good villain with Jonah Hill's Hal Stewart whose positioned as a socially inept creep with boundary issues with an undeserved sense of entitlement to Roxanne and it's a solid villain.

What holds Megamind back is really in the lack of any real gut-bustingly funny moments. The movie's an easy sit with solid characters and a decent story, but it is played more for pathos than it is humor with Will Ferrell considerably more dialed back in his performance than you typically see him in live-action work and his existential dilemma is played fairly straight. There are also some moments with Hal Stewart's character where it seems like he's blaming Roxanne for him becoming a supervillain with him saying things like "You never took the time to know the real me" or things to that effect and the movie never really counters them and feels like it finds Roxanne at least somewhat responsible for Hal becoming the monster he becomes, which is one of the bigger sticking points. The movie also brushes off Megamind's lies to Roxanne without much acknowledgment on Megamind's part for taking advantage of Roxanne's unawareness of him in disguise.

Megamind isn't one of Dreamworks' finest, but it's a solid superhero dramedy with engaging dialogue and solid performances from its core cast. It tries to do for superheros what Shrek did for Disney fairy tales, but doesn't quite strike that balance of pathos and comedy that made Shrek such a cultural phenomenon, but Megamind still works really well even if it didn't reach the standard of Dreamworks' other works.

I have read some reviews here and see it being unfairly compared to some Pixar's... I would rather rate it on its own merit. When I am sitting in a theater I would rather watch the current movie than try and compare it with others I have seen before. I guess that is just me! So here goes.

It is worth a watch (or two if your kids want you to). The story is built up on a traditional superhero concept inspired heavily from the first "Superman" movie to the "Return of Superman". However, the jokes are often original and some can get an LOL out of you. All in all, there is enough good humor sprinkled throughout the movie to keep everyone smiling.

If you can, do watch the 3D version. It has some good action scenes which look great in 3D but if not, you aren't missing a lot. This is not one created specifically for 3D pleasure - unlike Dreamwork's "How to train your dragon". Do watch out for some great dialogs by Megamind, and even some cutesy ones that seem right out of a Dilbert strip (office humor, if it wasn't clear enough). My favorite is "He is still not used to positive feedback" :) (probably funnier in context.

All in all an entertaining package.
