Megamind- A villain turned hero

In any superhero movie, the villain does something bad and the hero stops the villain and saves the day! But, what if there is no hero? How would that affect the villian?

Life for Megamind was simple, right from day one. He had to defeat Metroman, his nemesis. After years of trying, both he and his only friend, Minion were about to hit a dead end. They did their same routine of kidnapping Roxanne Ritchie, Metroman's girlfriend and holding her hostage to lure Metro man into their trap. One fine day, their routine actually worked and Metroman was defeated by Megamind. You'd expect Megamind to be over the moon and having a gala time now that there was no one to stop him he can do all the evil in the world! But, surprisingly he missed Metroman because now he didn't have anyone to stop him and all the fun was gone. So, Megamind started a project to make his own superhero and train him. For this he needed a sample of Metroman's DNA. While scouting for his DNA, he sees Roxanne and impersonates a guard, Bernard. Roxanne and Bernard hit it off quite well after a few days. Then Minion reminds Megamind who he really is and why he's doing this whole project. Will Megamind reveal his true identity to Roxanne and will he be able to defeat this new hero?

Megamind is one of those funny animated movies with puns and sarcastic remarks. It has both irony and humour in a perfect blend. The 3D effects and character detailing is definitely a commendable work of art. All in all, this is a must watch.
