Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: One has to laugh at the steady sequence of events from Quigby's laziness, to Dahlquist's nonsense, to Mayfair's intolerance, to the Zarg's aggressiveness, to the Megamind's design flaws, to the admission of Earth to the coalition, and Quigby's shrugging it all off.
Con: In terms of plot, the protagonist wants to do nothing and achieves it, so it's a sort of nult itself.
