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.

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

One of my favorites in general, and for DreamWorks is almost a tie with my love of HTTYD movies but it was a shame it came out to close to despicable me and didn't get to much attention compared, but in my opinion this movie is better than them :) definitely should watch :D (I know I'm almost 15 years late on reviewing this but even in 2024 I love this movie)

There are movies that RT critics are too harsh on. Megamind is one of them From the amazing voice acting thru the awesome story to the great animation, Megamind is arguably one of the best Dreamworks animations.
