	Media	Author	Review
		Stephen Holden The New York Times	"A witty 3-D animated deconstruction of superhero movies"
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"'Megamind' is an amusing family entertainment and gains some energy from clever dialogue and the fun Will Ferrell has with his character (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times	"[McGrath] keeps the effects popping, but more impressive than the multi-dimensions is “Megamind’s” minimalist, modernist look"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"What this raucous 3D animated fun house lacks in originality, it makes up for in visual and vocal wit (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Fast-paced but not frantic, goofily good-natured and attractively designed for widescreen 3D"
		Justin Chang Variety	"This latest DreamWorks toon, while not without its moments of wit and emotion, comes off as a derivative wisecracking machine rather than a feat of sustained imagination"
		Sam Toy Empire	"[It] verges on greatness but has flaws. But it's fun, energetic and at times dazzling (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Tasha Robinson AV Club	"[Tom McGrath] and first-time screenwriters Alan J. Schoolcraft and Brent Simons give the material a melancholic depth"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Good stuff, up to a point (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
