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.

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

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

The Age (Australia)

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

Every Movie Has a Lesson

"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.

Rated: 3/5

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

The way Megamind (Will Ferrell) mispronounces words like “school” gets me every time.
