From the studio that brought you “Shrek,” “Madagascar” and “Kung Fu Panda.”  The brilliant and diabolical super-villain Megamind has been attempting to conquer Earth for over 20 years but, each time, he’s been thwarted by his arch nemesis, the caped superhero Metro Man.  But all that changes one day when Megamind accidentally kills Metro Man in the throes of one of his evil plans.  Suddenly finding himself without a foe to overcome, the despondent evil genius decides that the only way out of his rut is to create a new super rival.  He’s a bigger, better and stronger opponent than Metro Man ever was. But when the former good guy begins to wage his own war aimed at destroying the world, Megamind must decide:  Can he defeat his own (now) diabolical creation?  Can the world’s smartest man make the smart decision for once?  Can the Evil Genius switch sides and become the Hero of his own story?

Megamind – Trailer

Hmm I think this looks pretty good with some solid animation but I get the feeling it could be a bit too over the top for me. Even when he’s doing a voice over work Will Ferrell is still pretty much Will Ferrell (unless he’s in Anchorman which I loved).

For now I’m moving my chair to the ‘wait and see’ part of the room.
