From someone who gave DB Evolution, Battlefield Earth and The Emoji Movie a 3, yes, this is THAT bad, this movie really fails in almost every single level it can.
Here's a list of incoherences I found from watching the movie just once, I haven't been told any of this:
1. First of all they did the samething as Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2: telling you that the protagonist had a crucial bond to something that wasn't even slightly hinted in the first part, in CwCM2 it was that guy Chester V, who suppostedly was the mayor inspiration for Flint to become inventor, now it's a mini group of supervillians that Megamind suppostedly worked with, this undermines all of his escence if you think a bit, he had no friends at all, that's why he was so socially awkward, so basically doing this was a total character anihillation for him and destroys the bases of the first movie, and that's no minor issue because this is a sequel.
2. Megamind ALREADY CONTROLLED THE CITY IN THE FIRST MOVIE so why didn't the villians take that as the "sign".
3. Megamind underappreciates Minion (once again, so recycled arc) but this time feel suuuuper forced, and barely makes sence, is crystal clear that it happened just because the plot needed to not have him close to Megamind when the Syndicate first appeared, because what's the necesity of having him not ascending Minion and leaving him go?.
4. Instead of telling the people in the bank what was happening Keiko appeares, somehow enters the bank without the villians noticing, and help him just because the plot need her to be useful later on.
5. That fish crew starts going to the dancing plataform trying to capture Megamind and going for the mic instead of just shouting out loud or even telling one by one the truth because the plot need them to not reveal the true nature of Megamind yet.
6. Megamind gives up trying to enter the restaurant and recives once again the help of Keiko instead of doing something like dehydrating the guard or using the portal gun because the plot (again) needs the little girl to be useful.
7. Megamind surenders on trying to get Minion with him again despite a mayor emergency happening, that makes him look like a jerk.
8. The sofa that Megamind falls on has a rocket attached to it, is very conveniant and yet is the least grave thing on this list.
9. Somehow Megamind survives the fall after Lady Doppler destroy his chair and it's not explained how, did he dehydrated himself like in the first movie? We aren't told nor shown.
10. The Megamind's pin is located behind one of the part of his destroyed sofa so it's implied that it fell like that, then he proceeds to hide really close to it... oh the chances.
11. Keiko says that she stopped being a problematic girl because she learned from Megamind but only 4 days has passed since the whole city acknowladged him as its protector, so in 2 days she left the bad path and became an influencer with half a million followers from scratch?.
12. Minion appears out of nowhere to reunite with Megamind exactly when he mentioned that they needed him and then Keiko hit him because she didn't knew it was him, first: HOW THE HECK CAN'T YOU RECOGNIZE A ROBOTIC GORILLA SUIT WHEN HE'S THE ONLY OF HIS TYPE?, second: DID MINION USED THE SHUNKANIDO OR WHAT?
13. The most idiotic one by far: Megamind sends Minion to abort the fase 2 but when he gets in trouble and close to death because his suit was destroyed, Megamind sends a robot parrot that easily crosses the security and enters the room quickly... COME ON you had no time to spare, WHY DIDN'T YOU SEND THAT ROBOT INSTEAD OF MINION? WHY YOU RISKED HIS LIFE LIKE THAT?
14. Lord Nighty Night is vanished by Keiko and in the end he reapears as if nothing happened.
15. Machiavillian says that he teched Megamind "everything he knows" but that's not true, in the first movie we knew Megamind learned all by himself.
Another stuff I noticed after briefly watcing some random seconds of it: 16. Megamind uses a portal gun in the begining and the it never re-apears despite it being super useful.
And now the stuff I learned from others: 17. The villians have superpowers and somehow are in prision as normal prisoners while Megamind and Hal, despite not having superpowers, had a special maxium-security cell because he was too dangerous.
The only savable thing about it are the hispanic-american dubbing and the direction, the dubbing is good, even great, despite only Megamind keeping his voice (which is one more character than the original version who kept it) and the direction is not horrible, that's why I don't give it a 1, because out there are movies like Birdemic that are so bad they doesn't even fit the Megamind level of badness, nonetheless the plot is extremely bad, and I won't let that slip away.
Final note: I've consider the climax of Frozen II an anti-climatic disapointment, so now I publically appologise to Chris and Jennie, because this movies takes the concept of anti-climatic to the next level.
