The Take
Megamind is worth watching. Slop Score 21.
Original voice, tight writing, and Ferrell's unhinged delivery make this the last DreamWorks peak before reboots and Trello boards took over. It roasts capes and origin stories while giving the villain a real arc.
The Verdict
Megamind rewards rewatches with quotable lines and a tight 96-minute runtime that respects the audience. The blue anti-hero's glow-up arc lands because the script trusts viewers to get the joke.
Watch it. Slop Score 21.
