Though he is the most-brilliant supervillain the world has known, Megamind (Will Ferrell) is the least-successful. Thwarted time and again by heroic Metro Man (Brad Pitt), 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.

Megamind

What to Know

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.

Lessons of Darkness

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

Rated: B

Paul Byrnes

Sydney Morning Herald

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

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

Rated: 3/5

Angel This movie is unfathomable…it’s without fathom. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/16/23 Full Review Jacqueline T Cool movie. The kids loved it. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/21 Full Review Cooper J An underrated masterpiece that deserved a lot more respect when it released. I've watched this movie so many times now, that I can quote almost any line from it, and I am not ashamed to say that. Not only was this movie ahead of its time in terms of the superhero genre it's parodying, but it also has a lot of strong messages about nature vs nurture, the ability to change, whether a person deserves a second chance despite what they've done, as well as the dangers of incells. Definitely check this movie out, and definitely DO NOT watch the sequel or TV show. They do not exist in my mind. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Brennon M a Cinematic Masterpiece. 100000 out of 10. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review AnonymousReviewer I absolutely loved this. "Megamind" is hilarious and it never gets old. Anyone who enjoys watching superhero movies with a sense of humor would enjoy watching this.
