It's good to be good, but what’s the world like on the other side? Is it good to be bad? A film as intelligent as it is clever, Megamind explores the life of a person who’s slinking into the shadows as the world applauds a superhero: the super-villain. If both come from outer space, with special powers, what makes one the do-gooder and the other the bad guy? Does the rise of one preclude the fall of the other? And can’t the bad guy get the girl?Read full review3.5

Megamind is a delightful film about a super-villain, Megamind, who has an existential crisis when he actually succeeds in defeating his arch-enemy, the super-hero Metro Man. Megamind, voiced by Will Ferrell, discovers that having it all isn’t quite what’s its cut out to be. So once he has killed Metro Man, voiced by Brad Pitt, poor Megamind loses his purpose of being. He finds himself so bored and empty that he actually creates another superheroRead full review3.0

Both charming and surprisingly smart, ‘Megamind’ is a fast-paced animated adventure about an evil genius who turns over to the good side after his nemesis is defeated. Will Ferrell lends his voice to the film’s protagonist ‘Megamind’, the bad guy with the enormous bulb-shaped blue head, whose rivalry with the insufferably vain superhero Metro Man (voiced by Brad Pitt) dates back to their baby days. When ‘Megamind’ finally vanquishesRead full review3.0

Can bad guys turn good? Are heroes made, not born? Can a villain grow into a hero? Good questions. Meaningful questions. Topical questions. Megamind maybe an animation film, meant to please kids with its wonderful imagery. But behind all the artistry, there are important philosophical -- and ethical -- debates. And the fact that they are conducted in a humorous and breezy manner only adds value to the film. Megamind is one of the cutest villainsRead full review3.0

Megamind is a delightful ride that turns the idea of good and evil on its head. The hero/villain Megamind, with his oversized bald pate, is goofy and lovable as he goes around trying to destroy Metroman, the cloying superhero who rescues the city from every crisis. One day, he accidentally manages to kill Metroman and now the bad guy is left with no good to pit his evil against. The withdrawal symptoms lead him to create a new good guy, Hal (Jonah Hill)Read full review3.0

Paida karne waale se badaa hota hai paalnewala! This B-Town adage doesn't hold truer than in this story about two alien babies reaching Earth as the only reminder of their dead planets. One gets a good upbringing and becomes Metro City do-gooder Metro Man (Pitt) while the other lands in a jail for the criminally gifted and becomes the brilliant MegaMind (Ferrell). In the battle of brain versus brawn, brawn usual KOs its opponent into submissionRead full review1.0

I suppose it makes sense to target kids on Christmas vacation with an animated movie. Guess it's too much to ask for the filmmakers to actually consider whether the film they will be presenting as must-see fare for those that wield the Pester Power in a household is actually intended for children. Which is how we end up with Megamind in movie theatres this holiday weekend with a voice cast that comprises the likes of Tina Fey, Jonah HillRead full reviewNR
