FIRST TIME WATCHING ~ MEGAMIND ~ REACTION/REVIEW

Megamind (2010) is the animated superhero comedy that asked, “What if Lex Luthor actually won?” and then spun that premise into a surprisingly clever, heartfelt, and endlessly quotable film.

The setup flips the genre: Megamind (voiced by Will Ferrell) is a blue-domed supervillain who finally defeats his nemesis, the smug Superman stand-in Metro Man (Brad Pitt). But instead of world domination, he’s left with something far scarier: boredom. His solution? Manufacture a new hero to fight—only for that plan to implode when his creation, Titan (Jonah Hill), decides evil is way more fun.

What makes Megamind work is its tone—it’s self-aware, packed with superhero tropes to parody, but never so cynical that it forgets to be fun. Ferrell brings a manic, lovable weirdness to the title role, balancing hammy villainy with genuine pathos. Tina Fey as Roxanne Ritchi (the Lois Lane analogue) is smart, sharp, and gets some of the film’s best banter, while David Cross as Minion—Megamind’s fish-in-a-robot-suit sidekick—steals scenes with sheer deadpan brilliance.

The humor lands because it’s character-driven: Megamind isn’t just a gag machine, he’s a lonely outcast trying to figure out who he is without an enemy to fight. The film’s emotional core—his gradual realization that he could actually be the hero—is played with sincerity that sneaks up on you in between the jokes and Queen needle-drops.

Visually, DreamWorks leans into bold colors and exaggerated action, with fight scenes staged like comic panels come to life. And the soundtrack? Pure chaos in the best way—AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, and Michael Jackson blasting through animated mayhem.

Megamind may have been overshadowed by Pixar at the time, but it’s aged like fine wine. It’s funny, sharp, and secretly heartfelt, with a lead character who’s both a parody and a genuine underdog worth rooting for.
