The Button of Doom!

A Review by Magdalen Aithne Arkwright

The Button of Doom extra is not worth buying - repeat, not worth buying.  This short is, at the time of this publication, easily found on YouTube and can be watched in whole, or in part if you can't stand to finish it.

Megamind, now Metro City's new hero, decides he has to sell all his evil gadgets, and sets about doing just that.  Instead, he's designed a suit with Metro Man's powers.  "Uh, I'm not sure it's... you," as Minion so aptly put it.  But Megamind won't listen, and when he finds himself trying to defeat the last evil gadget that he couldn't sell ("besides the Death Ray....") - his favorite - Mega-Megamind!  But Megamind's suit doesn't really work so well as he was hoping.  He quickly gives up, hiding in his invisible car - "The brain bots can bring us snacks!"  But fortunately for him, Minion is able to convince him that he should just be "Megamind" to defeat him.  They sold all his stuff, but Minion had gone against orders and hidden the "Spyiader Bot".  After some mishaps - of course! what battle would be complete without things not going to plan? - Megamind defeats the Mega-Megamind and goes to get all his stuff back - including the dehydration gun (which is in the hands of a bunch of rambunctious kids).  Megamind even gets his own sky signal!

Over all, Megamind's character is warped to a sort of more careless, foolish, and ridiculous person.  Admittedly, it is amusing, but certainly not worth spending your money on.  Buy the movie, but don't worry about this vid.  As mentioned above, this video is currently available through YouTube.
