Children’s Movie: Megamind

Villainy is a way of life, but if a villain doesn’t have a hero to battle, can he still expect the same sense of satisfaction from his evil deeds? 

When Megamind finally defeats his long-time nemesis Metro Man, he ecstatically goes about laying ruin to Metro City, reveling in the fact that he can now have anything he wants. Surprisingly, Megamind’s glee quickly turns to dissatisfaction, as he realizes that the battle was half the fun and everything comes too easy now. Thus begins a plot to turn the nerdy Hal into Tighten, a new hero for Megamind to battle. What Megamind doesn’t count on is that Tighten may not turn out to be as good as he’s meant to be. Nor does he anticipate falling in love with his old rival’s girl Roxanne Ritchi. In the end, Megamind finds he must rethink his assumptions about good, bad, and what makes him happy.
