🎬 Megamind (2010)
Megamind is a 2010 American animated superhero comedy film directed by Tom McGrath and starring Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, David Cross, and Brad Pitt. The film tells the story of Megamind, a highly intelligent alien supervillain who defeats his long-time nemesis, Metro Man. Both aliens were sent to Earth as infants before a black hole consumed their planets. Megamind is raised in a mansion and Megamind in prison, but is bullied by his classmates, leading to a rivalry between them.
As an adult, Megamind battles Metro Man for control of the city. On the day of the opening of the Metro Man Museum, Megamind escapes prison, kidnaps reporter Roxanne Ritchi, and lures Metro Man to an abandoned observatory to rescue her. Megamind blasts Metro Man with a sun-powered death ray, causing him to take over the city and execute a crime spree.
Megamind blows up the Metro Man Museum to forget the hero, but discovers Roxanne is also there. He dehydrates the museum's curator, Bernard, turning him into a small cube. Megamind talks to Roxanne, who inspires him to use Metro Man's DNA to create a new superhero. However, during a fight between him and Roxanne, Megamind accidentally injects the formula into Hal Stewart, Roxanne's cameraman, causing him to become even worse than he was before.
Megamind disguises himself as Hal's Space Dad and offers to train Hal to become a superhero. Hal takes on the name Titan, though he misspells it as Tighten. Megamind dates Roxanne while disguised as Bernard, but they fall out over Megamind's apparent lack of interest in committing further crimes. Roxanne rejects Tighten when he comes to court her, and Tighten witnesses her on a date with Bernard. After a heartbroken Tighten leaves, Megamind's Bernard disguise fails, and Roxanne also rejects him.
Megamind arranges to fight Tighten, but learns that Tighten is using his powers to conduct a crime spree. Tighten offers to ally with Megamind, but Megamind reveals his disguises and deceptions to goad Tighten into fighting. Tighten savagely beats Megamind in the fight, and Megamind encases Tighten in a copper ball to weaken him. However, Tighten easily breaks out. Megamind and Roxanne escape to Metro Man's old hideout, where he fakes his weakness and death to pursue his dream as a musician. Music Man encourages Megamind to become the city's new hero, but he refuses.
Tighten kidnaps Roxanne and demands Megamind fight him. Megamind escapes prison using holographic disguises to confront Tighten, but Tighten attacks him, throwing him into the stratosphere. Megamind dehydrates himself and extracts his DNA from Tighten, removing his powers. After Hal is arrested, Megamind and Roxanne rekindle their relationship, and the city celebrates Megamind as their new hero.
