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.

Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B+ Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Its story's third-act inversions still provide a pointed rebuke to superhero narratives' set-in-stone dynamics. Rated: B Jan 5, 2011 Full Review 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 Dec 10, 2010 Full Review James McMahon NME (New Musical Express) ...in the depth of stories the company are telling, comparatively Megamind feels cheap... Rated: 3/5 May 25, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Quirky, funny, and relatable, thanks to solid voice work and expressive animation. Rated: 8/10 Nov 30, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Humor that consistently elicits smiles but seldom outright laughs. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 16, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
