With a 73% score on Rotten Tomatoes,Megamind(2010) quickly found a place in the hearts of those who love animated comedies. Thanks to incredible reviews, both from fans and critics, it was only a matter of time before a sequel would be announced to the world. Well, the sequel has finally been announced titled,Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate.
Unfortunately, it does not look like the sequel is off to the best start as it is already facing criticism from the fans for a few reasons. One of these very valid reasons had something to do with the newly released poster for the film. The poster garnered a ton of backlash from fans of the alien supervillain as they claim the artwork looks like it was done for an old-gen video game and not an actual movie.
