With its terrible IMDb ranking and single-digit Rotten Tomatoes rating, “Megamind vs. The Doom Syndicate” stands out as the worst instance of an animated sequel ever to see the sunshine of day. Whereas its memeified 2010 predecessor captured audiences with its contemporary and humorous tackle the superhero style, the sequel butchers any sense of originality and allure with a 14-years-late downgrade. Kicking off the Peacock tv sequence “Megamind Guidelines!,” “Megamind vs. The Doom Syndicate” sees the return of Megamind (now voiced by Keith Ferguson, as Will Ferrell did not return) because the supervillain faces a disaster when his former menacing crew, the Doom Syndicate, challenges his hero standing and threatens to launch Metro Metropolis to the moon.

Past the disregard for the unique’s characterization, plot, and humor, essentially the most evident, cheapened factor of the film is by far the poor-quality animation, robbing it of its bare-minimum leisure worth and strengthening our distaste for this pattern of lazy franchise reboots, remakes, and sequels.
