Though it performed well with both critics and at the box office, DreamWorks' ahead-of-its-time superhero animation Megamind barely gets a peep from audiences anymore.

A highly entertaining and wildly under-appreciated film about a supervillain (Will Ferrell) defeating his heroic nemesis and subsequently suffering from existential angst, Megamind lovingly sends-up superhero movie tropes with heart and intelligence.

While some critics called the movie too similar to The Incredibles and Despicable Me, the through-line is more original than it gets credit for, especially as its satire feels a little more pointed and contemporary than either of those films.

Plus, you get Brad Pitt voicing a Superman-esque hero called Metro Man. What more could you possibly want?
