It is intermittently funny and briefly heartwarming, as though they ran the original through the washing machine a few times, and then faxed it.

As much as I want to tell you this one with Laura Post in it charmed my socks off, it just doesn’t live up to anything. She’s probably the best thing about the film. This is just a misfire.

A cash grab with lame jokes... If you like the first one, then do yourself a favor and stay away from this Megamind.

The ideas are perhaps more obvious than in the original, which might also make them a tad less interesting for older audiences, but Megamind's heart remains in the right place.
