Smart, funny and really engrossing

Rating: 8/10 (6 August 2018)

This was my second watch and I've enjoyed this film both times. Megamind is the villain of the movie, who just wants to be bad. His origin story showed how fate didn't deal him the best cards but he tried to work with what he had. His nemesis, Metro Man, is the good guy. Everyone loves him and every time Megamind and Metro Man square off, the latter wins.
But Megamind doesn't give up and keeps trying to be the best villain of all time. He keeps kidnapping Roxanne Ritchie, a journalist and keeps challenging Metro Man. Later in the story, Megamind feels the void that the absence of a hero has left in him, and he decides to create another hero to challenge.
The movie was funny and the writing was well thought-out. I don't watch a lot of animated movies and even I enjoyed it thoroughly. Will Ferrell is fantastic as always and Tina Fey does a great job again. I'll probably watch this again some time.
