Megamind 3D
DreamWorks (Madagascar, Shrek) 3D animated comedy. After super-villain Megamind (Will Ferrell) kills his good-guy nemesis, Metro Man (Brad Pitt), he becomes bored since there is no one left to fight.

Reviews & comments
Variety
pressThis latest DreamWorks toon, while not without its moments of wit and emotion, comes off as a derivative wisecracking machine rather than a feat of sustained imagination.
Total Film
pressLike Monsters Vs. Aliens, a retro-stylised fantasy-satire that balances knowingness with affection, winning kids and olds over in the process. Wry, spry and very funny.
The New York Times
pressVisually Megamind is immaculately sleek and gracefully enhanced by 3-D.
The Guardian
pressGood stuff, up to a point, but nothing like the passion and brilliance of The Incredibles or Toy Story.
Roger Ebert
pressAn amusing family entertainment and gains some energy from clever dialogue and the fun Will Ferrell has with his character.
Hollywood Reporter
pressFast-paced but not frantic, goofily good-natured and attractively designed for widescreen 3D.
Empire Magazine
pressLike his plans, Megamind verges on greatness but has flaws. But it’s fun, energetic and at times dazzling. Expect a stronger sequel — unlikely to be ‘darker and grittier’, though.
Christchurch Press
pressBy his own admission, Megamind (Will Ferrell) had a “fairly standard childhood”.
