Plot Summary"Megamind" uniquely uses a twist by telling the story from the viewpoint of the bad guy. Opening up with the blue-skinned, significantly smart alien Megamind (voiced by Will Ferrell), the movie explores how he and Metro Man (Brad Pitt), a superhuman with unbelievable strength and flying abilities, are sent out to Earth to escape their respective dying home worlds. They end up in Metro City, where they become arch-enemies with Megamind embracing the function of the villain, and Metro Man becoming the superhero.
The Battle and An Unexpected ResultAmong their battles results in an unforeseen twist when Megamind remarkably defeats Metro Man, making him want to retreat from his role as the city's protector. Suddenly, Megamind is entrusted to no challenger to eliminate against, leading him to deal with an existential crisis. Without a bane, he discovers life worthless and dull.
A New AdversaryTo fill this space, Megamind decides to use Metro Man's DNA to produce a new superhero, Titan (Jonah Hill), intending to when again play the bad guy role versus him. Sadly, instead of embracing his function as a hero, Titan starts to abuse his powers and turns into a bad guy, damaging the city far worse than Megamind ever did.
Romance and RedemptionAt the same time, Megamind impersonates a museum curator, Bernard, and inadvertently falls in love with Lois Lane-inspired character, Roxanne Ritchi (Tina Fey), a local TV press reporter who abhors his genuine identity due to his previous deeds. This unforeseen romance triggers Megamind to question his villainous methods. After finding Metro Man's secret, who faked his death to retire from his superhero life and pursue a profession in music, Megamind chooses to transform himself and become the genuine hero Metro City needs.
The Final ShowdownIn the climactic end of the world, with the assistance of Roxanne and his trusted partner, Minion (David Cross), Megamind uses his intelligence to beat Titan and conserves Metro City. Eventually, Megamind ends up being the brand-new hero of Metro City, winning both the appreciation of the public and the heart of Roxanne Ritchi.
Conclusion"Megamind" integrates an interesting spin on the conventional superhero story with well-placed humor and sincere moments.
