Fun stab at the Genre

Rating: 9/10 (8 March 2011)

This movie gets about as close to plagiarizing characters as you can get.
So the story is about a supervillian with a relationship with a hero that looks entirely too much like Superman and Lex Luthor. After the villain causes the hero's (apparent) demise, he starts up a relationship with the Lois Lane like love interest of the hero using a holographic projection, and realizes what he really needs is a hero to challenge him.
Unfortunately, he picks the entire wrong guy, a nerdy cameraman with issues of his own.
What sells this movie are the characterizations by the voice actors combined with the fun animation, especially Will Ferrel as "MegaMind" and Tina Fey as Roxanne. (Who I think is also the name of the love interest in "Cyrano"? Coincidence? I think not.) Brad Pitt is fun as the Hero in the few "cameo" scenes he has.
