Rated PG
Starring Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill
Directed by Tom McGrath
The Story:
Megamind (Ferrell) is the world's greatest supervillain. However, he is constantly kept in check by Metro Man (Pitt). After years of putting Roxanne (Fey) in peril, the relationship is changed forever when Megamind kills Metro Man! Missing his heroic arch-nemesis, Megamind creates a new hero to fight (Hill). But when he goes rogue to use his powers for evil, Megamind must become the hero he never wanted to become.
A loving homage to superheroes, Dreamworks unleashed Megamind to help put a twist on the genre.
While not the perfection of The Incredibles, this film still has quite a bit to offer, not the least of which is the top-notch vocal talents of the 4 lead characters.
Dreamworks Animation continues to produce stealth classics that are overlooked and under-appreciated by the audience and critics.
I would be more than happy to see a sequel in the future, but I don't see that coming anytime soon.
So in the meantime, I'll just sit back and enjoy this one.
I think as time passes, this one will get more appreciated for all that it has to offer.
Final Grade: Solid B, maybe B+
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: I already own it, and it's a fun one to pop in and rewatch every so often.
