It may seem unfair to hold animated output up against Pixar's standards but in this case I don't think it's a misguided comparison, for Megamind lacks exactly the hallmarks of that other beloved studio: wit and heart. What saves it, in the face of many bland and eye-rolling-inducing moments, are some nice twists and turns of the plot, a good voice cast and a fantastic premise which, it must be said, was taken to much more brilliant use in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.

Even if you give Will Farrell a more handsome face and blue skin I still don't like him. Regardless, this is a pretty decent movie, good marks for being entertaining, however it's not pushing the bar on kids movies, which seems to be happening more and more these days.

Another animated flick that can be enjoyed by both adults and kids equally. It's constantly funny (providing a good mix of dialogue, pop culture, slapstick, and physical humor) and has an engaging, albeit predictable, storyline. Ferrell and Fey are good in their roles but the real gem is David Cross as the Minion. Reviews seem to be very mixed on this movie, but I can say that everyone in the theater I was in seemed to enjoy themselves quite a bit.

"Its all about the presentation" says Megamind... This movie presents itself superb with a great premise, wonderfull voice talent and is overall very entertaining, but it just doesnt change the fact that what could have been a great tale of Evil turning Good becomes a somewhat of a cliché, where you can see the twists a mile away and where you never really care for the Megamind character. But definately one of the best soundtracks to an animated film to date ;-)

Really enjoyable comedy with a solid cast of voice actors (loved David Cross, especially). There are some touching moments and the story is fairly engaging, if not totally original (see Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog). The animation and use of color is fantastic in fast-moving scenes, though the character design outside of MegaMind is kind of weak. Ultimately, it's a quality animated family film that falls short of being a masterpiece, but has plenty of clever moments & never insults the viewer.

Not my favorite from Dreamworks, but it's pretty funny and has plenty of likable characters and a fun premise to keep one invested. Some talented voice acting and great animation helps out too. It's a little uneventful at times, but entertaining enough.

(Rewatch. This film really needs a sequel now that the characters are established. A weaker Despicable Me.) Well that was a bit different and unexpected. Inconsistent pacing but it really picks up in the second half. I didn't care for the character design of Megamind. The film obviously pales in comparison to The Incredibles but it's in the top half of superhero movies. Fav scene: What's the difference between a villain and a super villain? PRESENTATION!

It's a clever idea, and a somewhat interesting and fun take on the superhero spoof genre. However, it feels overdone and trite. We've seen these characters and plot devices before. I also didn't find the jokes that funny, even though it's over-the-top and goofy. In fact, it's a little too goofy, at least for my taste. Nonetheless, I did enjoy it. It's a decent 'no-brainer' film that, albeit not that impressive, is still fun to watch.

During the first half 'Megamind' is sporadically funny, formulaic and tiresome on the same subpar levels of other popular non-Pixar animations like 'Despicable Me', with nothing remarkable going for it other than crisp visuals and a good voice cast. Then there's a a massive shift in quality. The jokes become funny, the characters become interesting and the story is surprisingly brilliant with plenty of twists I didn't see coming.

The animation is nothing that stands out and the film has plenty of formulaic and cliche moments. However there are moments of genuine entertainment that prevent it from falling into outright mediocrity and, let's be honest, the premise is actually pretty clever.

DreamWorks general trend of improvement continues. While not containing any moments to rival Pixar at their best, "Megamind" none the less proves an entertaining and rarely irritating ride. It is all pretty predictable, but is also well presented and voiced to a good standard. Not bad at all.

Despicable me is definitely the better movie, but it's still enjoyable. Hans Zimmer did the score??? There's a bunch of old songs... I honestly really liked every scene that didn't have Tighten and my score shows just how much he dragged it down for me.

With How to Train Your Dragon and now this Dreamworks Animation prove that they're more than just a one trick pony. What with uninteresting Shrek sequels and the atrocity that is the Madagascar franchise I'd begun to wonder. Funny, well-cast and possibly the smartest superhero film I've seen. Yes, it's made with family-friendliness in mind, and must therefore suffer certain pitfalls that only Pixar have the know-how to avoid, but I had a total blast with this.

An interesting reversal on your cliched superhero capers. Megamind himself is such a lonely, broken soul underneath the surface. It's incredibly easy to emphasize with his position,(even if the circumstances themself are a bit outlandish) and root for his success. The mix of comedy with a underlying serious tone has the perfect balance, a pleasant surprise.

Megamind attempted to parody superhero movies, but thanks to its characters and recycled plot simply became another one. A good one, and one that will be enjoyable for most audience members (particularly if they're under the age of, say, thirteen), but neither the wit nor the brains are there to keep older members engaged at all levels. This is a film that looks great, and has an interesting lead, but fails to do what needs to be done to elevate it above your average superhero flick.

Enjoyably silly superhero send-up has amusing banter and clever ideas to spare (especially giving Ferrell the opportunity to wheel out a pretty good Brando impression), but it overall feels like one-joke not properly developed, relying on the sizzle of an A-list cast to string it all together, while liberally borrowing from other Dreamworks/Disney efforts. Spends its sweet time getting to the ultimate story turn, leaving Hill in reserve for too long; fun enough, but ultimately unmemorable.

It starts out pretty indecisive. It cannot really decide whether it wants to be a mainly funny superhero movie á la "Shrek" or a more serious superhero movie á la "The Incredibles". But after about 20 minutes it turns out to be a fine, little "tight" movie (except for a slight relapse about halfway) with a nice amount of originality. Still the adult audience might feel a bit left out - It is mainly a children's movie.

The premise of the rip-off of Superman/Lex Luthor/Lois Lane story was not the most original. The first half was pure pain, though the animation looked more or less fine. Surprisingly the twist somewhere half of the movie improved the story greatly and latter part worked much better. The fish sidekick was sweet, but the most interesting character was the confident female of the story. That was well written part.

I thought this animated film was pretty fun. The voice work was great with Pitt, Ferrell, Fey, Cross and Hill at the helm. I loved the clash of good vs. evil and the idea that what does evil do when there is no good to combat it? Does evil get bored with itself? There were some really good twists in this and also I enjoyed the animation. I thought that Roxy was probably one of the cutest non-princess animated girls in a film, and she had really great hair.

This movie is so odd to me. I generally hate the actors involved, the art style looks ugly, and narratively it is very safe. Yet, the movie plays with tropes in a creative enough way to be fun and the writing is snappy enough that a lot of its one liners are memorable and funny. The romance sucked and I wish they'd play the villain concept more straight without feeling the need to redeem him and I hated the twist that undermines the core premise, but I can forgive that for its fun climax.

Another very good Dreamworks animated feature. Superior to "Despicable Me" but not at the level of "How To Train Your Dragon", it still sits at semi-high point in children's animation (in the "non-Pixar" category). Unfortunately, some (if not most) of the humour may go over the heads of little ones but, well, it makes it palatable for adults.

This is first Shrek level of quality from Dreamworks; the kind of humor and slick, wacky animation that I haven't seen them produce in years, and what's nice is it strays just beyond the line of mind-numbing cliche and contrivance. I mean, that might be a criticism for some, especially in comparison to Pixar who rarely even see the line they're so far beyond it, but it's not. The humor isn't revolutionary for an animated feature, but it's fresh enough to make the film great fun for all ages.

The design style is pretty boring, especially considering all that can be done with this genre. But the movie is far more entertaining than most of its DreamWorks brethren -- which isn't to say it's approaching Kung Fu Panda territory (not even close), but it entertains for sure. I'd just like it if these movies could stop ending with a gigantic dance sequence / musical number. At least this one isn't set to "All-Star" by Smash Mouth.

Surprisingly original story that manages to avoid clichés unless it's lampooning them. There's a nagging feeling of being a little underwhelmed and you think they could've shown more creativity with the ideas, but they're minor quibbles in something with lots to praise and little to criticise. It's well-written, well-directed, consistently amusing (if not LOL funny), has good voice work, and no flat sections. Miles better than Despicable Me.
