After super-villain Megamind (Ferrell) kills his good-guy nemesis, Metro Man (Pitt), he becomes bored since there is no one left to fight.

Megamind has a problem with mispronouncing words. It's unclear whether he does it intentionally or if he simply misread them the first time he'd seen it written. For example, he pronounces Metro City as Metrocity (rhymes with atrocity) and he pronounces school as shool. He seems to realize he is pronouncing school incorrectly when he is disguised as Bernard and stops himself from calling it shool. He also mispronounces melancholy as mel-on-colly when he was feeling down. Implying that he didn't realize he was mispronouncing that particular word. He even said 'ollo' instead of hello, which was later corrected by Minion and used by the latter to Tighten that he's gonna take his Metro Man-like powers away. See more »

What an amazing movie. So underrated! It's the total entertainment package: funny, clever, cute, endearing, touching, romantic, adventurous, action, family, twists and so on. Has high replay value because I've seen this movie countless of times now.
The voice acting are all spot on; David Cross, Tina Fey, and most especially Will Ferrell are stand outs. Great touching life lessons imparted in this movie too. This movie is far and beyond better than all the Despicable Me movies combined! I can't recommend this movie enough.
