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.

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.

Its story's third-act inversions still provide a pointed rebuke to superhero narratives' set-in-stone dynamics. Go to Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald 12/10/2010
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. Go to Full Review Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) 12/08/2010
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. Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Jul 20
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. Go to Full Review James McMahon NME (New Musical Express) 05/25/2021

...in the depth of stories the company are telling, comparatively Megamind feels cheap... Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 11/30/2020

See more @LJRS333 3d Loved it as a kid but love it even more as an adult, just perfect all round. Remember when studios used to make unique, creative projects? Yeah those were the days. See more vid g @vidguy20 Dec 9 It's great, its funny, its clever, its original! See more Billy Dec 9 Possibly one if the greats of animated movies of all time. Movie contains amazing action with acting and crazy plot twists See more Anderson O @Platinum2027 Nov 18 Megamind is a great modern day and throwback satire and parody on the superhero genre in its time and beyond. Truly the ultimate subverter of superhero movies that teaches a lesson about decisions in life formulating character and determination of a new destiny for the main characters. A journey of character destinies based on outlooks of life and how they believe others should perceive them. Added the superhero tropes that are simple to identify and you still have an excellent and entertaining, heart felt and emotional animated film. See more Read all reviews
