Megamind: Music from the Motion Picture is a soundtrack to the 2010 film of the same name, released by Lakeshore Records and composed by Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe.
Richard Buxton of Tracksounds stated: "To assume that a score that deceives expectations and opts for a scheme different to that of the regular hero vs. villain tale is a failure would be wrong.
Megamind may occasionally induce a desire to hear such conventions in full force, but Zimmer and Balfe have weaved a score that is engaging and consistently refreshing to listeners, and is a credit to the film it accompanies.
"[4] Danny Graydon of Empire film magazine gave the score a positive review, stating that "DreamWorks' latest family comedy about a big-bonced super-villain sees Hans Zimmer (with long-time collaborator Lorne Balfe) revisit some of his less-appreciated work.
Those who get bored with Zimmer's reliance on electronics in his blockbuster scores will find much to enjoy here: it's a fun, quirky orchestral effort mixing parodic moments (Giant Blue Head) with brassy fanfares (Stars and Tights) and pretty romance (Rejection in the Rain).
