I'm on a huge animated movie kick.... I love them! Megamind (Will Ferrell) is a super villain hell bent on taking over Metro City but is constantly thwarted by Metro Man (Brad Pitt), who has been his rival since infant hood (probably not a real word, but I'm using it any way). Megamind always kidnaps reporter Roxanne Ritchi (Tina Fey) and Metro Man always saves her. Megamind finally beats Metro Man and goes on a crime spree, but then realizes how empty his life is without a hero to battle. Megamind is super funny (he often mispronounces words in a hilarious way since he's from another planet, among other things) and has a great message about how bad may be fun, but it isn't good. Will Ferrell's voice had a tendency to get on my nerves, I felt like he was yelling at me for most of the movie, but other than that, this was a great movie! B+
