Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2017)

Megamind, a super-intelligent alien villain, at long last destroys his nemesis, the super-hero Metro Man. Instead of being satisfied, he feels empty, so creates a new super-hero. Unfortunately the super-hero turns out to be a super-villain, and Megamind has to assume the role of super-hero in order to stop him.
Very good, and surprisingly so. I thought this was going to be another comic-book-hero/animated kids movie. Kids will certainly enjoy it, but so will adults. Good plot, snappy dialogue, very funny, unrelenting pace.
Action sequences are a prop, not the main idea, which is always good, and the movie doesn't take itself too seriously. Heaps of fun.
Great casting and performances - voices are spot-on.
