Megamind contre Doom Syndicate

If I could rate this a zero, I would. This movie is straight up trash. It was so bad to the point that they couldn't even get Will Ferrell or Brad Pitt in the movie. Instead they got new guys that sounded nothing like the original movie characters. The story was off, horrible set of screen writers, animation was low budget, and it was boring. We all know and love Megamind, but in this one I want to throw my remote at the TV. And also, this film was supposed to hit theaters. But since the budget was low, it's getting straight to peacock! This is unacceptable. The TV series is way better, but still not good. If Dream-works makes a new movie, I'm not bothering to see it. This ruined the franchise. Very disappointing.

Cheap animation, bad jokes, terrible dialogue... it's pretty clear why the voice cast didn't return. This is yet another lazy sequel/series that seems to exist purely to push content. I wish I hadn't wasted time watching this or the new series this setup, that started auto-playing as the credits were rolling. I know a lot of this stuff gets accused of being written by AI during the strikes, but I can see that actually happening here, with it looking so terrible because it was rushed out.

As of now, there are a few reviews here that are glowing. Don't believe them. One of them only reviewed this and the also awful series. 1 is a new user and this is their only review. Sus.

This is NOT my Megamind and heres why.

They did not bring back any of the original cats from the first movie. The girl is super annoying, the very low quality animation. It is just a cheap waste of time for a sequel for this. The plot makes no sense whatsoever and just got completely scrapped from what we saw in the first movie. We NEVER saw Megamind having a crew in the first movie and the story is just dumb and out of place. The animation just sucks in general like there was no effort put into this.

If you want to watch Megamind that was perfect in every way. Watch the first movie, do not waste your time on The Doom Syndicate.

It seems like they took all the things people loved about the original movie and threw it in the trash, and took the other parts and turned it into a Disney Jr movie. First not sure why they thought that the movie would do good without the original cast. Second, the writing... how did they write all of that and got it approved... who approved the writing, who approved the new animation? Who approved ruining what magic the original movie had? Honestly... this movie is a great example of what you should not do when writing a sequel of a great movie. Nobody wanted a sequel... and what they wasn't a sequel... it was a Disney Jr movie that was worse than a Disney Jr movie.

Dumbed down characters/dialogue/premise, inconsistencies in characters, and even an insistence on making a Parakeet joke.

Anything anyone made after the amazing miracle that was the original movie.. was never going to be as good! It's just like being taken back to the 80s! Where cheap and poorly written cartoons were made to capitalize on franchises. Then there's the series, that seems to continue the "Megamind vs Doom Syndicate" plot, and if it is as childish and boorish as this was.. it won't be worth watching either.

It is rather insulting to take something as beloved, and trash it for quick buck. Stay far and away.. this isn't Megamind.
