The movie is like watching a failed NASA launch it starts out great but then crashes and burns. The movie is nothing more then a bad Superman parody. It begins with both Megamind's and Metro Man's planets exploding but before Megamind is sent off his father says something that gets cut off and that's never exampled. Megamind is raised by criminals and Metro Man is raised by a rich family yet they go to the same school? To add insult to injury none of the prison guards ever try to contact the government or Child Protective Services about the blue alien that landed in their jail instead the just sent him off to school everyday. After being picked on by Metro Man and his classmate who basically have judged him when all he was trying to do was fit in he tells himself "if I can't be good at being good I'll be good at being bad". When he does that closed mouth evil smile as a kid that's about as evil as he gets, time pass and with some odd luck Megamind kills Metro Man which i had no emotion reaction because Metro Man from get go was an ass. With Metro Man defeated Megamind is free to rule over the city which would be threaten if how he destroyed the city wasn't so childish. The rest of the movie is Megamind gets bored and creates Titan another hero for him to fight who turns evil now Megamind must use his past evil inventions to save the day. The story was predictable and it's not a villain movie it's a redemption movie for kids. The character were just poorly crafted staring with Metro Man who's an ass hat throughout the movie but, there's a point when he's talking about why he faked his death that I actually felt for him until he said that he now he'll be Music Man just so he can keep the M symbol. Then there's Roxanne Ritchie who takes all the female empowerment of Lois Lane and never shows any of it the only reason she's in the movie was so that Megamind had a romantic relationship and it's so forced. Hal Stewart/Titan is the creepy "friend" of Roxanne who's creepy level is over 9000 plus the only reason he become evil is because Roxanne won't date him WTF man! Megamind I feel for but because his not really a villain but a product of his environment, upbringing and abuse at the hands of Metro Man as a child. The scene when he snaps and becomes "evil" really is him just losing the battle against Stockholm Syndrome. Last thing that makes Megamind an odd character is the fact that the movie really focuses on the man-love Megamind has for Metro Man. The jokes/running gags are flat out terrible and they get worst as they're told again and again. The movie realize too much on the star power of it rather than good writing and truly funny jokes.
My Rating: Didn't live up to anything that was said about it: 3/10
