I don't think the TV spots really do this one justice. It's a bit funnier than its portrayed in the trailers and I felt most of the jokes were for the adults and seemed to go over the heads of the younger audience.

Will Farrell plays 'Megamind', an evil genuis from another world. He is constantly battling with his goodie twoshoes archhero, 'Metroman', voiced by Brad Pitt. The two infants arrived on earth at the same time when their neighboring planets were consumed by black holes. Unfortunately Megamind's spacecraft landed in the state prison, while Metroman's spacecraft landed conveniently in the home of a wealthy Norman Rockwell style family. And thus began their rivalry.

Megamind is always trying to kill Metroman and the evil plans always involve kidnapping Roxanne Richie, the local news reporter voiced by Tina Fey, mostly because he thinks she is dating Metroman. In reality, Megamind wouldnt know what to do with himself if he succeded in killing Metroman; they complete each other.

I would have liked to see more interaction with Megamind's sidekick, 'Minion', voiced by David Cross. He was great with all his material and he should have had more screen (cell?) time. Jonah Hill did a pretty good job as Roxanne's camera man/stalker.

I don't want to give away any of the story or ruin any of the great jokes (there are enough to keep it always entertaining). It's probably more entertaining when your among a theater audience so I recomend seeing it in theaters, but I don't see this being a classic like the first Shrek or any of Disney's greats.

3.5 stars.
