Can't believe you never watched Megamind before!
yeah we do need it
Watch Monsters vs Aliens animated movie.
There is one (next one, part two)*
i would love a sequel
This movie was such a masterpiece . Especially when Tighten said,"There is no Easter Bunny, there is no Tooth Fairy and there is no *Queen of England."* Truly ahead of it’s time.
That line hits different now 💀
It's Titan,not tighten
@@dvine3488 yeah I think anyone with half a brain cell could've guessed that, you didn't have to tell us.
@TGDM"Show titan for the masses, tighten for the enlightened ones
@@cymer9569 I was just about to say that, R.I.P to her
The line "GET BACK YOU SAVAGES!" kills me every time. It's so good.
And the face he makes afterward just... perfection.
@@TimdeVisser86 Yeah bro the face is so fucking funny hahahaha
It never gets old 😂😂😂
I wonder if it was an Adlib.
HES JUST NOT USED TO POSITIVE FEEDBACK 😂😂
The animators actually hinted at Metro-Man faking his death by taking him out for a single frame during Megamind’s big speech at the beginning
We slowly get more and more clues: that single fram, Tighten not being weak against copper, and finally the water glass
What bothers me is that if he can move that fast, 24:45 needs some explaining...
@@Blaster-Rat Probably took a oath to never use his powers again,so he can feel like a normal guy
@@Blaster-Rat maybe he just wants to enjoy his sandwich in peace without having to travel around at lightning speed?
There’s also the skeleton not matching his jawline
I love how he basically kept predicting the movie as it went along😭
Fr 😭😭😭
He's just a very good theorist
@@AhCrxp ...or the movie is just very predictable
@@harold3165 He made many predictions some were false and Metroman being alive still shocked him even after the copper vs Titan scene.
Or he saw the film before ...
To this day, Megamind is one of my favorite superhero movies. Amazing performances all around. Sad we never got a sequel tho😔😭
I've heard that DreamWorks had announced a TV series of Megamind coming to Peacock. So hopefully they'll get soon, Megamind is definitely a underrated superhero.
@@joeldean2706 i heard about that too! I'm excited to see it!! 😃
There actually is a short animation sequel but more of fun short continuation called Megamind the button of doom I'd it online somewhere
They saw that Despicable Me got more traction and decided to keep going with that...
@@familyunfriendly1732 this wasn't made by illumination
Tighten is such a good villain, who ever decided to make the villain a nice guy (tm) with superpowers is a genius
Tighten is peak r/niceguys content
Yeah they nailed that part and that even before he got the powers Roxanne was more uncomfortable with him than being captured in megamind's lair
Tighten is what many superhero fans would be if they had powers lol
@@heyitsmira17 Definitely. There'd still be a few superhero fans who would genuinely try to be a hero, but many would likely go down Tighten's route.
He's basically the reason why you should give someone super powers-- AHEM, Homelander....
I love that Jonah Hill’s character spells his own name like “TIGHTEN” and not “TITAN”
It was the only name Space Daddy could trademark. 😭🤣
Titan is his hero name, Tighten is his villain name
Megamind is a goddamn modern master piece. Despicable me could never compare to this piece de resistance. The humor is elite, I feel like people didn’t understand this movie when it came out. It was way ahead of it’s time. This movie ranks as top 5 on my sequel wish list, if not a sequel then at least another movie with similar humor. It’s so damn good. If you can’t tell already, I appreciate the heck out of this movie. Still the funniest superhero movie of all time. This movie is perfection.
Please tell me this comment is ironic
@@harold3165 What's wrong with the comment?
Me too bro In my opinion I’ve always liked megamind way more than Despicable me.
@@harold3165 nope 😂
@@harold3165 not at all
"You're a villain, alright. Just not a super one." "What's the difference?" *"PRESENTATION!"* One of the best exchanges ever.
Megamind is honestly one of the best animated films of all time.
Besides The Incredibles ❤
Fr
This movie was so ahead of its time, with the "nice guy" thing with Hal, and yes it deserved a sequel more than Despicable Me
Its getting content now at least....or in 2024 i mean
@@ngcwiz1755It's trash
Something that I really liked is that at the beginning, the interactions between Megamind, Metroman, and Roxanne was just fun and full of banter. No one was actually afraid or in danger whenever Megamind does his villain act and it’s a lot like a theater show. The crowd boos at Megamind and cheers for Metroman and Roxanne isn’t fazed by Megamind’s tricks when he reveals the alligators, the drills, etc. And so when Megamind “kills” Metroman, it’s a shock to everyone. It’s like seeing a theater troupe actor killing another actor and show just going on. They had roles they were put into and played, and when Metroman leaves to pursue his music career, Megamind has a chance to be good since he was always seen and labeled as bad despite trying to fit in as a kid.
I love how when megamind won people may have feared him but he still never went overboard. He robbed a bank and stole a famous painting but even without a hero the city wasn't in any real danger. Probably part of the reason he got so bored after the initial rush wore off
@@katonnor Very true. He did small scale crime, but had enough morals to not go on a murder spree.
"This woman has been so mistreated this entire movie." For real, she was her happiest when she was JUST getting kidnapped.
Fun fact: the line "And THIS is for Space Stepmom! You LIED to her!" was improvised after Jonah Hill forgot the line.
LMFAO
I like how Megamind, the “villain,” didn’t cause that much destruction to the city(at best just vandalism and one abandoned laboratory) compared to Tighten, who did more disaster to the town, including destroying the tower out of nowhere with Roxanne still tied up
I just love how Megamind lands in Prison, and they never think for a second to let him out, and he's just automatically a bad guy to the prisoners and prison staff, and they just keep him XD. Literally amazing.
Well he is technically an illegal alien. 👽
This movie never gets old I watched this on repeat as a kid. I seriously can’t believe it’s been that long since this came out. There’s so many funny moments and has great story telling. The unthinkable scenario of a not so super evil villain losing his only enemy and us viewers having to experience that along side megamind is just phenomenal.
One silly thing I always appreciated about this movie is that the love interest had short hair. I really can't think of many characters who do, except maybe some renditions of the Catwoman.
Short hair >>
Another great animated movie with Brad Pitt in it and the female lead has short hair is "Sinbad" Highly recommend
@@AlyssaML2023 HES sinbad??????? i never knew that
@@98Emile Yup haha
This is probably one of Dreamworks best movies. Along side with How to Train Your Dragon. Will Ferrel is a fantastic voice actor and needs to do more of it.
Isn’t kung fu panda from dreamworks too? If so I’d put it right up there.
@@italianspiderman5012 true. the first is fantastic and the sequels are pretty good but I just hate how much they milked the franchise.
@@shadowfauxe6468 just ignore all the shows and only think about the movies, they milked how to train your dragon nearly as much, also kung fu panda 2 is leagues ahead of the first one and the first one is a top tier film, the second is just that good
@@matthewrickard5050 httyd is a perfect trilogy… it wasn’t milked, since ea movie progressed the overall world the protagonists were in. All three movies had different plots, lessons, and the villains were distinct enough.
@@italianspiderman5012 and Shrek!
I really want a proper sequel, this movie was so good
From my understanding they did announce a streaming series a while back where it’s basically megamind making videos for the internet of his attempts to do good. Not quite a true sequel but it’s as close as we’re gonna get
@@thewerewolff7248 rather have that than nothing at all.
no sequel they will end up ruining it like every other good thing
The only real sequels are the games. I remember playing and finishing the DS game, and apparently there was a game for PlayStation, but besides that, there isn't really much.
So Megamind is returning in 2024🎉.
It's so clever how they use Megamind's different gadgets throughout the movie. They set up the use and limitations of the dehydration gun, the invisible car and especially the disguises in such a way that it makes complete sense but it's surprising every time. Really sells Megamind as a smart character, and rewards perceptive audience members.
Even when he pretended to be metro man. He was flying around but we know he doesent have those powers. When the disguise is removed we see he was actually wearing a jetpack while in disguise. He knew to really sell that disguise he needed gadgets to mimick metroman's powers
This movie was way ahead of its time. I remember watching this as a kid and I freaking loved it. I didn’t realize until now how great the animation was. Megamind is supposed to be getting a sequel series on peacock so I’m excited about that.
I got the movie as a gift and I’ve watched it so many times. I remember being pissed that Metroman was alive and that there wasn’t a second movie.
I remember when I was young I would play and replay this movie on repeat, I just couldn't stop watching it. I was like 9 or 10 and just couldn't understand at the time why I loved it so much. Now I know, I just love redeemed villains, favorite character type.
The Welcome to the Jungle entrance and villain/super villain line is one of the best comic book entrances on film--found in a smirking Dreamworks flick...
Brad Pitt is genuinely a good voice actor, he was also the main character in the dreamworks Sinbad movie and that was really really good
Another household staple! Up there with Titan A.E., and Treasure Planet.
@@alexkramerblogs My god, Treasure Planet is the BEST!!😍
omg that's him!?? lol I can hear it now.
The scene where he floats over the crowds of people with his arms spread wide is Homelander before Homelander
The Boys comic came out before this. I'm certain some folks that made this movie had read it and decided to make something similar but with more nuance. The boys comic had zero nuance.
Two subtle visual cues throughout the movie: characters' eyes and Roxanne's dress. ~ MetroMan's and the Warden's eyes are blue; Minion's and Bernard's eyes are brown; Megamind's eyes are green. When the watch disguises the Warden as Megamind, his eyes are still blue; when it disguises Megamind as the Warden, his eyes are still green. When it disguises Minion as the Warden, his eyes are still brown. When it disguises Megamind as MetroMan, his eyes are still green. The one exception to this is when it disguises Minion as Megamind - probably only to avoid giving away the deception. ~ The color of Roxanne's dress (or shirt) reflects her feelings about Megamind. In the beginning, her dress is red - the opposite color to Megamind (blue). Later, as she's falling for 'Bernard' (but still opposed to Megamind), her dress is purple - the combination of red and blue. After the failed date with 'Bernard', she's wearing a white shirt - being open-minded and reevaluating everything she thought she knew about Megamind. At the end, now fully supporting Megamind, she's wearing a blue dress. Megamind's design was a mash-up of Nikolai Tesla and Alice Cooper - MetroMan's design was a mash-up of Thomas Edison and Elvis Presley.
7:23 I LOVE this detail. If you watch this part in slow-mo you can see Metroman disappear for a single frame and appear behind Megamind as shown in that flashback later in the movie. He was using his superspeed!
My favorite part about watching this movie too lol
One of my favorite lines in this movie: Use the ‘forget me stick’ *WHAP!* 😂😅😂😅😂
From what I recall when it came out, it wasn’t that it wasn’t good, it’s that it came out alongside heavy hitters and just got lost in the shuffle. It is really good.
I remember when Iron Giant, Mystery Men, and The Sixth Sense all came out on the same fricking weekend. At least now they've learned to give movies a chance to breathe at the box office.
The scene where Megamind lis about to give his big evil speech after finally winning and his sidekick keeps playing the wrong song. The slow turn and look on Megamind’s face will always crack me up…
Honestly I'm glad that this film didn't make much of an impact when it came out. Otherwise we'd be seeing Megamind 5 where Metroman's brother comes to Metro City to kill Megamind but his kids come to save him with the power of love and fart jokes. Megamind can stay as an incredible film without the over saturation of Hollywood.
great movie choice! one of my favorite scenes in this movie is actually the break-up scene because you really get to see the dimensions of Megamind and it's then that you realize he is just someone craving love (though he went about it in the completely wrong way). like the way he answers Roxanne after she asks "do you really think I'd ever be with you?"; he answers "no" because of course he didn't. that's why he continued to wear a disguise because he didn't think he was deserving of love or acceptance, as proven to him when he was a kid just trying to fit in. thanks for another great reaction Greg! ❤
Yes, I love this explanation! It’s a good contrast to Hal as well since Hal thinks that because he has powers, looks good, and acts like a superhero, that he deserves Roxanne. Megamind doesn’t try to force Roxanne to stay after she lists out his actions and why she doesn’t want anything to do with him. He lets Roxanne go, understanding that she’s not wrong to be mad about the deception and his list of bad deeds regardless of his change of heart.
10:15 You know, that you mention it, because she's so confident I never fully realized how much Roxanne has in common with Megamind. She might be surrounded by more people than him, but she's not treated with any respect. No wonder they get along so well.
Yeah I really like that they made Metroman not be an AH in the end. He realized he was what stood between Megamind and Megamind's redemption.
It is just perfect how he never showed up for the final battle. He believed megamind was up to the task and he confirms this with how proud he was standing in the audience at the end
This is our family’s favourite movie. I’ve lost count how many times we’ve watched it. The animation is great, the voice acting, especially from Will Ferrel is so good. The story is funny, heartfelt in places, scary in parts - where you really care about what happens to the characters. This movie never gets old, it’s endlessly rewatchable.
They say "if you want to know someone, give them power" and they portrayed that really well with Hal. And all-time favorite masterpiece for me. Gets predictable at times but it's humor, action and themes are remarkably well done.
I'm not a big fan of Will Farrell but this part was truly made for him. This is his best role and it's easy to forget that's him playing a role with how much Megamind comes to life
You wouldn't know it from his early works, but Will Farrell has surprising range for an actor. My other favorite role of his is Harold Crick from Stranger Than Fiction which also stars Maggie Gyllenhaal, Emma Thompson and Dustin Hoffman.
Truly the Golden Age of Dreamworks Animation
This movie was a masterpiece with great animation, a great cast, and a funny story. Man it’s absolutely criminal there’s no sequels to this movie. Great reaction Greg!
I'm always up for a MegaMind reaction, the movie is a subversive Masterpiece that was ahead of it's time, It probably would've been more appreciated if it came out now
100%
This and How to Train Your Dragon were the two greatest tragic mistakes by the animated box office during the past twenty years. Just amazing movies that the vast majority of people ignored.
Also missed at the Box Office. Spider-Man : Into The Spiderverse Coco Turbo
How to train your dragon was ignored? I remember that being super popular
We really need a sequel, this movie is so damn good😆
There is technically a sequel called the Button Of Doom
There is a sequel animated series in the works: Megamind's Guide to Defending Your City.
This comment aged like milk.
This movie showed what happens when you give a person who suffers from "nice guy syndrome" powers. Still glad that this didn't get a sequel, the unfair comparison with the Despicable Me during it's release was a blessing in disguise.
Nice to see Megamind getting even more recognition than it had a few years back. But sad to see that Rango never got to that point even after 10 years.😔
Saw this movie in theaters when it came out and loved it. Glad to hear that more people are appreciating it.
Such an underrated movie! Thanks for reviewing this- it made me smile and I hadn’t thought about Megamind in years!Lol. For it to be 12 years old, it def holds up!!
"Unfathomable. It's unfa... without fathom." This always get me. 😂
It deserved for sure a sequel, but I've read recently that Dreamworks is collaborating with Peacock TV for an animated series on Megamind, so we will wait and see!
I'm so happy
From the future, the worst sequel we could have possibly had
"I love you metro man!" "And I love you random citizen." is the best line delivery in the entire movie. This is hands down the most underrated movie of all time in my opinion.
One thing I got from Megamind that’s interesting is that a true villain can be still be a Villain without the hero but the villain that feels lost without the hero is really not much of a villain in the first place otherwise he would be out doing evil all the time
"We could kidnap Roxanne Richie..." -'What's the point, without HIM?!?!'
Mega mind was never like other villains. Look at the reactions to others. Roxanne was tied up in the villains Lair but she never felt in danger. It had happened so many times and Megamind had never actually done anything that bad. Almost like his entire goal was to face metroman. When he finally won he still didn't do anything crazy just robbed a bank and stole a painting. So he quickly got bored since fighting metro man was the reason he was doing it
"Metro City will never financially recover from this" well.. with Megamind now a good guy, his inventions could go a long way to funding and rebuilding the city, and improving life throughout whatever country metro city is supposed to be in (i don't remember if USA was mentioned within the movie). He could be a multibillionaire and defend the whole city with just his technology, making him untouchable.
At the time, Despicable Me basically won the marketing war, as it's aimed at slightly younger kids, while Megamind was more mature in the themes. Same kinda thing happened back in the 90s when Rookie of the Year and Little Big League did the "kid in baseball" movie showdown and the one that was more camp and less serious (roty) got all the attention.
7:22 cool to see the flicker of metroman speeding on over behind Megamind for a moment
4:58 | Don't you dare speak that name, that movie was the only reason why we didn't get a megamind 2.
Megamind is a masterpiece, and it has one of the best Superman parodys. Because instead of just being evil, Metroman was forced by others into being a hero, got burnt out and quit
This movie was a underrated masterpiece that was definitely ahead of its time and I am glad it aged like like fine wine 🍷
Very underrated movie🔥...one of my absolute favourites, I used to answer phonecalls with "ollo" like Megamind does for a while after I first watched it 😂
When I first watched this movie as a kid, I never really liked it and quickly forgot about it. But maybe a year ago, a friend of mine and I decided to watch it again, and it was such a good movie! It is now one of my top movies and it is so underrated. I'm glad to have seen it gaining some traction in the last years or so. And I can never not think of Markiplier when I see Metro Man! While features are exaggerated on the cartoon, their similarities are uncanny to me lol
I agree! I loved this movie and was really surprised no one really watched it back then. The writing was good and the characters actually had character growth. The idea was really cool.
This movie was way WAY underrated IMO. The puns, the clichés, the references to SOOO many super hero movies was just amazing. With how saturated we are with them now I think this movie is due for a part two!! Great review, keep them coming!
The thing I will always love about this movie is the continuity at 7:23 you can actually see metro man flashing for a fraction of a second. Showing that he actually used his superspeed. And that superman diss at 25:41🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is fr my favorite animated movie ever. A movie that me and my family STILL quote to this day. A true MASTAPIECE🐐
Megamind is one of the most underrated animated movies of all time it was so ahead of its time and still l get goosebumps whenever l watch it.
I was blown away watching this movie. It quickly became one of my favorite animated movies ever. Awesome reaction!
Megamind is such an underrated movie! It's a shame we never got a sequal. It's absolutely hilarious and yeah, Minion is one of the most adorable DreamWorks characters! Right up there with Toothless from HTTYD. Absolutely love him!
Anyone else still get goosebumps from the "Presentation" scene? 🤘🏻
This movie doesn't get the praise it deserves! So underrated!
i am so thrilled you watched this! my family and i used to watch this all the time and i think the amount of honesty in the twists and of course animation and cast made this truly special👏🏽
The director described the first part of this movie as Alice Cooper vs Elvis
Thats so crazy that you just posted this reaction I literally just finished rewatching megamind like 10 minutes ago
Oh snap!
I always loved that hal's name is a play on both green lanterns Hal Jordan and Jon Stewart
THANK YOU. Literally the only reactor I've seen who understood he was doing an impression of Marlon Brando from Superman 1978.
This is the movie that got me into "formal speedwalking." ☺️
A small detail in roxan is that throughout the movie her dresses change color the more she ends up liking megamind like in the beginning is red like the opposite of blue then purple a mix of red and blue and then finally blue by the end little details like that is what make this movie amazing
I very vaguely remember watching this in cinema as a kid, and remember loving it. Fast forward over a decade and finally remembering it properly, I only love it more. It, as you said, just builds and builds and it's incredible. Thank you for watching Megamind!
The snotty boy glow up meme was like nitro for this movie's resurgence
One thing about Megamind is that he cared about his art as a villain. The art of being a villain. The art of being the bad guy. Titan was just a horrible person without care. It’s just a good way to show that everyone has craft. The better one will prevail.
Friday and now Megamind??!! The reaction choices these days have been immaculate ngl
Literally watched this night because my little brother never watched and every time I return to it I forget how funny it is and he really enjoyed it, I’m also glad you enjoyed it too
This is in my top five favorite animated movies. Love your reactions, it's like watching it for the first time all over again.
Seriously forget how great this movie is. It does get better as the movie progresses. I think writing and dialogue is so funny. Great reaction video.
I never got the "that was such a funny story, brilliantly told by the way - Now you tell one" joke until now
@The Reel Rejects, A sequel is finally coming, Greg. I don't think a date has been stated, but a sequel was announced to be in the work late last year or early this year.
I like how the movie portrayed "nice guys" like Hal. Toxic traits like that need to be explored more in kids/parent movies.
After his career as a musician fumbled, MetroMan tried to be a youtuber. And it worked. He even kept the "M" logo and now, he's known as Markiplier.
"You're a villain alright... just not a super one."
You asked about Despicable Me at one point. That was actually one of the main reasons this movie didn't make it at the box office. Despicable Me came out *slightly* sooner. They were in theaters at the same time but Megamind got accused of being a rip off because they both had 'minion' characters(obviously by people who hadn't seen both movies). Ironically Megamind was _written_ first
Dreamworks has one of the best artworks for me, and this is a FANTASTIC movie. "PRINCE OF EGYPT" (1998) is also by Dreamworks. I definitely recommend everyone to watch it. Prince of Egypt is supposed to be a children's movie but it really hits hard and tackles topics that make you question if it is for children really (but still a MASTERPIECE). This movie has: - A very beautiful, symbolic and foreshadowing hand drawn animation with some CGI. If you know the most famous thing Moses did then you should know that it took 2 years to animate just that scene (WoW that is dedication). Also, they even put detail in the soft wind blowing your hair and clothes every now and then. - EPIC, majestic, powerful and beautiful ost (Hans Zimmer) and songs (Stephen Schwartz) with beautiful and interesting messages. One of its songs won an Oscar, first non-Disney animated movie to win an Oscar. -Interesting characters. The "hero" ignores facts that he doesn't wish to see, doesn't accept harsh truths at first, or at the second, or the third, and enters in denial state and identity crisis, questions his deeds... We can also empathize with the antagonist and his motives. This story is mainly about the evolution of the relationship between two brothers. So many mixed emotions. Even though it is a religious story, anyone can enjoy it. And, I must say I highly doubt Disney would have taken the risk to do such a project (I think the producer asked Disney for permission but he was rejected?). Other movies that I ABSOLUTELY adore are Spirit (o m g... Tears ...), Shrek, The Road to El Dorado...
That scene where Metroman is trying to find his true purpose is quite sad because he’s got all the powers under the Sun yet he doesn’t really know what to do. He’s so tired of fighting Megamind that he finally realises how treated him like a bad guy instead of a missunderstood man. Also I think Hal was a very good hidden villain. There’s actually multiple indications and hidden things that foreshadow him turning evil. His obsession with Roxanne, him talking to himself and also in the scene where Megamind confronts Hal about stealing there a book in his room that is about the best supervillains ever.
I watch a lot of reaction channels, but I gotta say. Every time I watch you guys, your microphones are like a breath of fresh air. Goodness, my ears needed a break! So thank you for investing in quality microphones!!
It makes me so happy that you're watching this movie. I grew up watching this so many times and I still love it lol Great video!
MAN i loved this movie, it really hit my heart as a kid and still does now so really a bit sad that it wasn't as appreciated and never got much credit afterwards except the small short. glad to see there are many people watching the childhood movie we loved and seeing the deep and cool moments of it, its cool :)
At one moment "I get Homelander vibes from this guy". The next moment those vibes die a sudden death.
I freaking love watching you react to things for the first time!
One of the many cool touches that sometimes go missed in this movie: When Metroman is explaining why he faked his death, in the flashback where he's standing behind Megamind, if you go back to that scene at the start of the movie when they are both on the bigscreens you actually see Metroman flicker ever so briefly at that moment as he moved back and forth.
Megamind has definitely turned into a cult classic. Way ahead of it's time and deserves all of the praise it gets 👏
In the beginning of the movie you can actually see Metroman show up behind Megamind in the cameras when you think he died , then obviously you learn he wasn’t but it’s really cool to see the detail
Dude, like for real. I literally said you all missed a review on this as i was watching it last night. Then I click on KZhead and you're reviewing it. Nice!
Megamind was released during one of the greatest years for animated pictures. It’s not that this movie wasn’t necessarily received poorly or underrated, it just had some heavy competition at the time. How to train your Dragon, Tangled, Shrek4, ToyStory3 & Despicable me; were all released vaguely around the same time. It’s one of the biggest reasons Megamind didn’t break any major records. Still one of the most incredible animated movie of time.
