Villainy is a way of life, but if a villain doesn't have a hero to battle, can he still expect the same sense of satisfaction from his evil deeds? When Megamind (Will Ferrell) finally defeats his long-time nemesis Metro Man (Brad Pitt), he ecstatically goes about laying ruin to Metro City, reveling in the fact that he can now have anything he wants. Surprisingly, Megamind's glee quickly turns to dissatisfaction as he realizes that the battle was half the fun and everything comes too easy now. Thus begins a plot to turn the nerdy Hal (Jonah Hill) into Tighten, a new hero for Megamind to battle. What Megamind doesn't count on is that Tighten may not turn out to be as good as he's meant to be. Nor does he anticipate falling in love with his old rival's girl Roxanne Ritchi (Tina Fey). In the end, Megamind finds he must rethink his assumptions about good, bad, and what makes him happy. Megamind and Despicable Me are remarkably similar movies: both deal with villains who are unfulfilled by their evil ways and who, despite their despicable natures, have some essential goodness deep down inside. Both villains are presented in highly stylized animation and the 3-D effects in each film are skillful and effective without being overdone. Megamind has Minion, who watches over him, while Gru has a whole crew of mindless minions supporting his evil ventures. Finally, both films are solidly entertaining. Because the two films were released within a few months of one another, speculation about who copied who will no doubt run rampant, but the bottom line is that both films are well worth seeing.

"All rumors at this point, nothing is confirmed. Supposedly there are talks of doing a sequel but there is nothing to back up that it's actually in the works. Honestly wouldn't mind if they left this one alone because the plot was so unique, to do a sequel would be cliche unless it was Megamind going back to being a criminal.... which sounds stupid now that I've typed it."

"I like when a movie has a unique storyline, something we haven't quite seen before. Megamind is one where the villain is bad because he thinks he has to be but then is victorious and doesn't know what to do with himself. I could not stop laughing at this movie, Will Ferrell was the perfect actor for the part, and I think also has a lot of potential for sequel(s).
