Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

An unexpected masterpiece

For someone who is not yet in their tweens, this is a 5 star movie. For adults it is a 3 star movie. Megamind and Metro Man both are hurled to the earth from dying planets. Metro Man bumps out Megamind from a good home and lands our blue "hero" in prison. Megamind believes he is destined to be the villain his whole life, so he acts the role and harasses Metro Man, an unlikeable egotistical good guy as well as Metro City. After he successfully kills Metro Man and wins, his life is boring without a challenge so he creates a hero to fight himself, Titan Man.At this point I won't ruin the plot twists. Classic Rock and Pop is used as theme songs for the bad guy which made the movie confusing for me. ;)The sound track was 5 stars. What was unfortunate was the actors they chose to read the lines. They added nothing to the movie. When Lithgow, Murphy, and Diaz do a movie, their voices add to the story. This was not the case with Ferrell, Fey, Hill, Cross and Pitt. Could you imagine Eddie Murphy instead of Ferrell? Simply a better movie.

Every element of this story is fantastic - comedy, story, drama, characters, and animation. This story is entertaining with extremely well-written characters and perfect pacing. This is now one of my favorite animated movies. I have no complaints with this movie, and would highly recommend it.Anyone who is annoyed about the obvious Superman parody is just a DC fanboy who's annoyed that Metro Man is a better written character than most versions of the actual Superman.

The supervillain Megamind finally defeats his nemesis, the superhero Metro Man. But without a hero, he loses all purpose and must find new meaning to his life. Megamind has some good animation, interesting characters and some cool songs from movies like Iron Man and Terminator 2 but the obvious 'Superman' rip-off origin, the lackluster humor and a villain who isn't exactly a villain and is bored to death for being alone in Earth makes 'Megamind' a below average animated film. (5/10)

Overall: It's an OK movie but I wouldn't recommend it if you don't have children as it is not for more mature audiences.Good: It was entertaining and I love that it is a spoof of Superman. The voice acting and animation is superb. All the characters are archetypes but that fits and works well in the 'spoof' part of the movie. I laughed a few times but it was definitely aimed at younger audiences. The music was just plain and simply awesome. The are some inside jokes for older audiences and those with a keen eye but these are too infrequent.Bad: I didn't like the villain as he was just too predictable and uninteresting. Obviously it was aimed at younger audiences so most laughs will come from that age group and it meant I wasn't laughing as much as I hoped. The story was pretty mediocre but it is for kids so I can let it slide.Best Part: The start of the final confrontation between Megamind and Titan.MVP: Will Ferrell as Megamind5/10
