Flicks Review
BY Andrew Hedley Flicks Writer
The super-villain is back in business. Hot on the heels of Despicable Me’s Gru comes the blue, bulbous-headed Megamind, wannabe tyrant of Metro City and arch-nemesis of the citizens’ beloved Metroman. Gru and Mega must be related – they’re both a plastic surgeon’s dream, they both think dastardly, and they’re big softies underneath it all.... More
All serves to highlight that Megamind, whilst a fun watch, is content to follow formula. It isn’t very unique (The Incredibles did superheroes and did it better), but it will play better to a younger, less discerning crowd. Despite a darker tone than one might expect, the humour is too mundane to appeal to adults (the song selections, in particular, are very unimaginative).
But the 3D animation is vibrant and well utilised, a couple of top comedians lend their voices (though Will Ferrell’s just not the same without his face), and the climatic battle is big and loud. Megamind is a moderately amusing experience, if not one of the year’s most memorable animated efforts.Hide

Megamind 3D
The Review compared this movie to Despicable Me I have seen both and see very few similarities Mega Mind was by far a better movie and the 3 D was more advanced a thoroughly enjoyable movie for any age group e.g. take the grandparents and introduce them to 2011 3D and 2011 Cartoon.
I loved megamind the movie and i love megamind as the person as well.
The Press Reviews
An amusing family entertainment and gains some energy from clever dialogue and the fun Will Ferrell has with his character. Full Review
By his own admission, Megamind (Will Ferrell) had a “fairly standard childhood”. Full Review
Like 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. Full Review
Good stuff, up to a point, but nothing like the passion and brilliance of The Incredibles or Toy Story. Full Review
Fast-paced but not frantic, goofily good-natured and attractively designed for widescreen 3D. Full Review
Visually Megamind is immaculately sleek and gracefully enhanced by 3-D. Full Review
A lot of fun, but little heart Full Review
Like 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. Full Review
This 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. Full Review
