In essence, Incredibles 2 is an enjoyable Disney Channel Movie, with a premise not worth the length of a feature big screen film. The story is clearly a 90 minutes original stretched in production as far as possible to place all kind of viable items-to-become-toys surplus to the story.

Disney is becoming too cynical about their interest on making money over all possible instances (ahem, Finding Dory?) instead of being respectful with the public. It is not a bad film, but a dishonest product just like those x-ray glasses sold in old Marvel Comics: bad for you if you expected the real thing, we got your money anyway.… Expand

The disrespect of men in the western world since the early 1900's is talked about by some notables but hasn't quite made the mainstream yet. I suspect the people who created this film were just trying to do their best and perhaps were portraying how they see/experience life. However, in an era of examination of roles, tropes, and stereotypes men haven't had their fair shake yet. We need a Men's movement in the best sense of the word.… Expand

Like a better sequel would have beenI enjoyed this movie overall, HOWEVER it still is incredibly disappointing and kind of discouraging to see how this movie could have been so much better instead of this safe and corporate sequel we got. Like a better sequel would have been that the film took place years later then right after the last film when the Underminer attacked the city. Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack can be all grown up, taking up identities removed from their family lineage, Bob and Helen could contemplate retiring now that a newer generation of heroes are taking over. It would have built on more of the family dynamic that worked so well in the first film and it would have been appropriate for fans who grew up with the first film. But instead it's basically Mr. Mom but with superheroes...

Okay that's not really fair, there are plenty of things that are good about this film. For one, the family dynamic is still great in this film. As much as I joked before about this movie having the same plot of Mr. Mom, I do like how Bob grows in this film at struggling to raise his kids, which included one touching scene. The action scenes are phenomenal, they make a lot of great use of their powers and setting, especially Elastigirl. I also like how this movie (really both films) feels a lot more like a spy film than a superhero movie, which I mean considering that Brad Bird directed Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, it make sense but still. The animation looks great and it is a ton of fun to see the characters updated with subtle updates to their models. The humor is pretty great too, especially from Jack-Jack which I was not expecting to like that much (although it is more of the characters reacting to Jack-Jack). The music is basically the same from the first film, but I mean the score to the Incredibles is one of the best film scores of the 21st century so who can complain?

Okay so for the bad. A lot like Mr. Mom (which no I will not shut up about), the characters never grow and they just end up right where they were when the film starts. Helen never learns any lesson in the end, Dash and Violet don't get a lot to do, and while Bob does have a meaningful plot about being a good dad, he pretty much just ends up being the same old Mr. Incredible from the last movie! I don't feel like any lessons were learned or any growth given to them. The dialogue can be pretty crap too. The whole legalizing superhero plot is incredibly on the nose and lacking any tension as it's never challenges any of the characters, along with some cringe-worthy lines that just do not sound right when the voice actors are delivering them. But the big issue is the villain. Screenslaver sucks! For one it is so obvious who Screenslaver is, trying to have like a red herring twist to it that is never convincing, and also the motivation they give Screenslaver is just terrible! I mean say what you will about Syndrome, at least he was well rounded, was interesting and had quirks that made him unique, and his motivation made sense to his character!

Overall I get why people will not like this movie, but I still enjoyed it personally. But it really could have been so much better than bordering on average!… Expand

Incredibles 2 ended up being pretty much what I feared it was going to be, more of a cartoon. However, although it never comes close to the original, it still is very entertaining and tons of fun.

Sure same high production and artistic standards, but what's fresh here? Maybe the novelty of computer animation has worn off, or more likely it seems for Pixar it used to be: "We have a good idea!" whereas now it's "How can we best do another of these?" and sadly the result is the magic is mostly gone.… Expand

The film is heavy with feminist themes .Mr Incredible is the typical dumb man with toxic masculinity and the women in the film are the smart ones .
They do a work reversal with him staying at home and being house dad and her being the hero so we get the guy struggling of course. They are pretty blunt with the hammer sometimes and i could have done without it really but i guess that's what we're in for now for awhile.
The plot was decent and interesting.
The best parts were involving jack-jack and the kids really,especially jack-jack.
Edwina or whatever her name is,the suit designer was excellent as well.

Thankfully, Incredibles 2 is not one of those missteps. It's a riveting, fun adventure for kids and is just as entertaining for the adults, even if it never reaches the masterful heights of its predecessor.

I think that the first Incredibles film is a masterpiece. What made it so great is that it had--in addition to its eye-popping beautiful animation and action--an emotionally affecting story about a married couple that rediscovers how much they rely on one another, how neither one of them is complete without the other. This made it so much more powerful because it was deeply resonating for adults while still being very entertaining for the whole family. Incredibles 2 is certainly still a lot of fun for the family, but I just didn't feel that it had the emotional heft that was boasted by its predecessor. There are some sweet scenes that explore the dynamic of the Parr family that elevate the story, but they feel much more forced with dialogue that often doesn't come across as natural.

The weakest aspect of Incredibles 2 is its story and villain. Neither of them is bad by any means, but there's just nothing unexpected about it. 15 minutes into the movie, it's clear what the direction is and the plot then proceeds to follow expectations beat for beat.

That being said, Incredibles 2 is another fantastic achievement from Disney/Pixar. The animation is so fully realized that I could not believe my eyes. The color perfectly sets the tone of the scenes, the action is perfectly choreographed and constructed, and while some of the humor feels shoehorned into the script, the vast majority of it works very well and it all adds up to make this sequel a great summer film and a crowd-pleaser.

Today as a film studies undergrad, I continue to cherish how it retellsI always loved The Incredibles, having originally seen it twice in theaters, something rare for me, because it met my peak of superpower fascination as a twelve-year-old. Today as a film studies undergrad, I continue to cherish how it retells classic familiar superhero tropes through a bleak commentary on legitimate discrimination at a time of nuclear threat. Second to Toy Story, it stands as my favorite Pixar motion picture. So right when Pixar announced this sequel, I knew it would become nothing more than unnecessary, lazy fan service.

Turns out I guessed correctly.

Now I shall go on to explain why I hated The Incredibles 2: Rather than realistic revision of classic comic book tropes, it embraces them, right down to the villain’s predictable secret identity. Unfortunately, it goes beyond mere unoriginality; more like serious inconsistency. I mean, hero work is said to remain illegal, except how did this family of supers steer clear past prison bars three months after destroying Syndrome’s Omnidroid v.10? Even more noticeable, the family’s lack of knowledge about Jack-Jack’s powers until about midway through the film contradicts the previous feature’s climax.

I’ve voiced before serious disdain towards superhero flicks, but I do believe it can be done right with the right level of care. Heck, fourteen years ago; besides SpongeBob, my favorite show was Teen Titans--I even made each new episode an event by dragging my Dad into watching them all with me (since I thought he might have enjoyed it too). Those fantastical beings’ characterizations were consistent, instead of carelessly thrown around like here.

Plus, it also contradicts its own message. The main villain, “Screenslaver,” says TV stops our communication, with no thanks to supers, yet here these screenwriters go freely celebrating supers on a giant screen! On a personal level, Bob lies to his wife without facing punishment, making him less sympathetic. At a deeper level, a hollow liberal “Make All Supers Legal Again” act drives the key narrative without ever addressing the real meat of the discrimination issue it attempts to talk about.

You may think, “Hey! It’s written AND directed by Brad Bird… who gave us the first addition!” Well, remember Tomorrowland? Keep anticipating his eventual comeback folks. Just like that George Clooney embarrassment three years ago, miniscule originality comes out of his newest project, he rather just copies other iconic comic book movie scenes. One example: an early action sequence copies Spider-Man 2’s train stopping to far weaker results. Another example: the villain’s key weapon, mind control, has been overdone to death in other superhero plots.

Okay, pop quiz: what do kids love to watch more than anything?

A) Intellectually stimulating educational programs.
B) A Mister Rogers documentary.
C) Julia, the first autistic Muppet.

The answer:

D) A baby fighting a raccoon bandit.

Jack-Jack’s screen time tops Dash or Violet combined, who unlike the baby go through growing pains necessary to the story. Consequently, Jack-Jack turns each sad moment suddenly funny under a surface-level Marvel mentality that hurts the entire viewing experience.

Although to be fair, it’s understandable why most people love this sequel to The Incredibles. The foul script’s blame shouldn’t go on the reprising voice actors, since Holly Hunter does act well through her vocal work to match Elastigirl’s new exhilaration of feeling fifteen years younger, while Craig T. Nelson delivers a fantastic common core joke perfectly. Beyond the voices, there is some value here and there, such as Bob’s amends to become a good pop, and a memorable spectacle that pits Elastigirl against someone inside a brainwashing room, six walls blaring hypnotic swirls, her eyes closed for the whole fight. Violet also gets a fair share of great hand-to-hand combat worth her pre-established adolescent problems. Though Dash doesn’t do much other than attempt math homework, possibly to make his feeble motivations less obvious.

Like the imbalance between the attention of the characters, the odd arrangement of the two subplots between the mother and father rattles both by a choppy tone, building up to a forgetful visual-driven climax. From the first act, Helen’s growth literally falls back at square one; her letting Dash and Violet help still raises her skeptic fear as if nothing happened since the first movie. It barely can even be called quality family entertainment: some dialogue says the word, “damn.” Inappropriate for a PG rating!

If anything, the hopping lamp company’s gradual downfall into sequel madness only made me further appreciate their older works. We deserve better than an ingenuine nostalgia commercial. Sorry.… Expand

It’s been 14 years. After all these years and sitting through three ‘Cars’ movies - The only sequel that needed to happen has finally happened. It couldn't come quickly enough. Because I“Help me bring supers back into the sunlight”.

It’s been 14 years.

After all these years and sitting through three ‘Cars’ movies - The only sequel that needed to happen has finally happened. It couldn't come quickly enough. Because I cherish ‘The Incredibles’ on multiple repeats when I was little. Also losing count of how many times I've played the PS2 game version. So yeah, this meant the world to me and anticipating a sequel for a long time, just like everyone else.

While ‘Incredibles 2’ doesn't quite hold a candle to the first, but still, I liked it. There’s a lot to like and enjoy. And yet recognize it’s flaws as well. It's not a disappointment, which makes me happy, just judging by Pixar recent involvement with it’s sequels.

Brad Bird is a talented film marker and storyteller, both in animation and live action. In animation however is where he really shines. Bringing a rich style of nostalgia that clearly influenced his personal life - Going back to the golden age of cinema and inputting into his work. Same thing applies with this movie and managing to keep the level of quality strong after all these years.

The animation was great, now that’s nothing new, yet this needs repeating. It’s bright, colorful, and full of life. Pixar always succeeds in animation. The choreography during the action sequences was energetic and exciting with the animation being glue to hold it altogether.

The character’s screen time is perfectly balance so you got to see just enough of everyone. Probably the most enjoyable part of the whole movie is watching Bob (Or Mr. Incredible, if you like) trying to take care of his kids. I think the reason why is the family dynamic and the reverse roles in that situation. Most of the heart and humor are in those scenes. I mean, it’s better than the actual plot itself involving Elastic girl.

Now this ties in with my main issues: The villains are paper thin and painful generic. I don’t want to spoil anything, but then again, the movie basically spoils itself from having a predictable narrative. When the villains motivations are revealed it’s pretty ridiculous and you just don’t buy it.

I wished this wasn't a continuation from the first, especially when you notice the actors who voiced these characters sound much older, since this takes place immediately after the original. It would've been a lot better if it was set years later in a new time period, where more homages to campy superhero movies and TV shows, because around the 60’s or 70’s, the genre itself got more corny, but also gives Pixar more material to work on and have a creative spin on it. I know it may seem unfair to keep comparing this to the first, but this movie does everything it can to remind you of the first film, including plot points- So not really.

Oh and is it just me, or dose Catherine Keener character model looks exactly like Roxanne Ritchi from ‘Megamind’.

Overall rating: ‘Incredibles 2’ is a good movie and came out around the perfect time where superhero movies are bigger than ever. I can safely say it was worth the wait. Again, not quite as clever or excellent, although I am glad we finally got a sequel, good or bad.

I’ll see you in 25 years.… Expand

Are you kidding me? That is the most absurd criticism I ever heard and really goes to show how much people are sheltering their children nowadays.
I wouldn't even say this movie was “darker” than the first movie. If you go back and look at the fist films plot, it's about how superheros can't do what is morally right because of corporate heads who only care about money. This is dark in of itself. The start of this movie was almost the same as the first. Superheros who cant do their jobs get a random invitation to do superhero stuff again. This time, instead of Mr. Incredible doing all the superhero stuff Elastigirl gets the spotlight, while Mr. Incredible is at home babysitting the kids. The villain in this film is much weaker than Syndrome from the first movie. Syndrome had a pretty okay reason for wanting to do the bad stuff he did. Unlike the villain in this movie, who just came off very petty and pathetic.

Even the new superheros who were introduced didn't not play a well enough role in the movie. We barely saw them, let alone saw their powers used in a well enough fashion for them to be considered cool superhero characters like they should be.

I'd honestly say the best parts in this movie were when Mr. Incredible was trying to be the best dad he could be, by trying to fix his daughters relationship and taking care of Jack Jack.

The animation, colours, and everything visually was far, far superior of course but, unfortunately that was the only thing better about this than the first. That being said, was this a bad movie? No. Was it entertaining? Yes. I'm simply comparing it to the crazy standards the first movie was able to set and I don't think this movie was original enough or innovative enough to exceed those standards.… Expand

The result is a fun return, yet one that came up a bit short of my expectations. Really all it felt like was a role reversal of the first. Instead of Mr. Incredible going out to fight crime/the main antogonist and getting captured, it's the exact same things only with Elastigirl this time. Certain side plots felt a bit rushed as well, particularly the opening moments of the film, and it also copied a scene from the short 'Jack Jack Attack' almost word for word, which was a bit amusing but mostly came off as kinda lazy to me. Nevertheless, the action of course is bigger and more colorful than ever and it's got its fair share of fun and humorous moments as well, especially with Jack Jack, but I also wish there could've been slightly more screen time for Edna Mode as well. Overall, it's definitely a fun sequel that's worth checking out, as it gets the job done in terms of entertainment, but I personally felt that it doesn't hold a candle to the first.… Expand

WARNING: there is a scene that contains tons of flashing bright lights that seems like it could harm photosensitive viewers. Incredibles 2 was a blast to watch in the theater with awesome fights and jokes that were laugh-out-loud worthy. The villain was insightful and, like most great villains, had a great point to make. I especially liked the creative ways they use the different supers' powers, with each new fight feeling like more than a punch-fest with particle effects. Marvel should take note. One gripe that really bothered me, however, was how they handled Mr. Incredible himself. At the end of the first Incredibles movie, Mr. Incredible had undergone an epic personal journey. He began as a selfish father seeking the glory and adrenaline of his past, to the detriment of his friends and family. After facing numerous challenges and nearly losing his family, he realized that his family was his greatest adventure and became a good father. At the beginning of this movie, all the lessons Mr. Incredible learned have been thrown out the window. He's back to being a bad father who seeks personal glory, only this time he's more violent about it. As a sequel, this seemed to undermine the value of the first movie.… Expand

It was literally the best experience to be in theaters and watch TheRemember in 2004, when the biggest hit of the last quarter of the year that you should already be aware of its existence by now named The Incredibles was in theaters? It was literally the best experience to be in theaters and watch The Incredibles in the big screen at the time. Even if you didn't see it in the big screen when it was in theaters, there's always a chance to relive the experience with Incredibles 2, easily taking home the best movie of 2018 without any explanations or doubts. You clearly do not want to underestimate this film since, like the first movie, it's got enough strength to live up to its title name in particular. It's got what you've seen in the first movie, like basically everything that makes this sequel worth watching. The biggest question comes to mind though... was it worth the 14-year wait? If time went so fast that mentioning 2004 immediately turns the events of that year older than you can already think out of your mind, I say it was definitely worth the wait.… Expand

In terms of anything that's improved, I'd say the fight scenes and set pieces in this one have gotten a welcomed amount more intense - something I'd imagine that the improvements in animation has paved the way for. But other than these things, "Incredibles 2" never really wowed me with its thematic content or narrative developments, especially when it came to its villain. But they can't all be Syndrome, I guess. Still, this is a fun, expertly designed film that just reaches the "worthy enough" zone in terms of following in the footsteps of its predecessor.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Definitely NOT one for the smaller children. Two days later my 8-year-old is still having concerns at bedtime. A lot of parents on the boards complain about the foul language but that is the least of my worries (my wife didn't notice it) but when kids see their parents turned into "zombies" and are left alone in the world (a child's biggest fear) then this ceases to be Disney fare and becomes a different sort of movie. Definitely PG-13, I'd say keep 'em away if they're under 12. Lots of violence, lots of parents being blown away (off-screen).… Expand

The original Incredibles is not only one of my favorite animated movies, but it's also one of my favorite superhero movies ever. So there's no doubt that this long-awaited sequel was one of my most anticipated movies of this year, especiallyThe original Incredibles is not only one of my favorite animated movies, but it's also one of my favorite superhero movies ever. So there's no doubt that this long-awaited sequel was one of my most anticipated movies of this year, especially before seeing the trailers! I didn't like the trailers, the first one in particular, because I predicted that this movie would lean heavily on a formula we got tired of. This formula includes two messages; the female empowerment, and "taking care of your family is the true superheroic act", and that's exactly what we got in this movie, especially the first message, it's a political issue, so .... why not? This formula didn't just make everything in the movie looks like I've seen million times before, but it also made this movie feels outdated. Actually, the problem isn't only related to the messages, but the plot itself is formulaic and outdated for a superhero movie. Almost everything happens, every event, every element, every part in this movie is archetypal.
The developments of the story are typical. The characters are slightly developed, but also in away that doesn't feel authentic or original by any means.
The villain, Screenslaver, is stereotypical and feels if he comes from an old cheesy superhero movie, or an animated movie from any animation studio except Pixar. This villain even acts like The Joker, so that's saying something. Even his motives are well-worn, and he revealed them in a single monologue. Yes, this very monologue that Syndrome mocked in the original movie. So don't expect a villain like Syndrome. So don't expect to see a villain like Syndrome. And of course, we have a plot twist in this movie but I saw it coming from far away, so it definitely didn't work. Also, what leads us to the ending is rushed and quite absurd. Nevertheless, there are some subtle plot details in the part when Elastigirl was fighting crime. They leaned so heavily on the humor in this sequel. The humor wasn't bad at first. In fact, almost every joke that is related to Jack-Jack worked, and I couldn't help but burst out in laughter almost every time he made a single noise. But the jokes became repetitive, so they lost all their sharpness. Also, the timing of the humor was very bad at the third act. What's worse, at least for me, is that they made Bob Parr a total moron so he can be the comic relief while making Elastigirl the real heroine of the movie. Now, Dash is my favorite Incredible! What a likable character he is! He is very cool, and all his actions are fit for his age. That gave this character a sense of reality. In fact, all the characters act if they were real. When they interact with each other, when they get tired, when they become happy, when they laugh, even when they breathe they feel if they were actual people, if they were humans, and that's really INCREDIBLE! All the cast is great, as usual. But Holly Hunter who shines in this sequel. She gave even more energy Helen Parr/Elastigirl.
I was worried because they replaced Spencer Fox, the original actor who voiced Dash, but I think Huck Milner is even better! Frozone had much more time in this sequel, and that made this character seems much more like Samuel L. Jackson, and of course this is a bonus! Jack Jack's new abilities are basically perfect, both in what his powers are and in how they are revealed. Michael Giacchino's score is gold, and well-used. The animation is top-notch and seamless. But it's the action in this movie that should have a fair share of praise. Incredibles 2 has some of the most thrilling and exhilarating action sequences ever in an animated movie, if not memorable enough. The movie full of flashing lights that aren't just annoying, but they really can be harmful to the eyes, especially if you watched the movie in 3D. I'm sorely disappointed, but I'll try as much as I can not to make my let-down affect my rating, especially because most of the issues I've with this movie are related to one thing, the triteness that I, as a Disney/Pixar fan, didn't get used to.

I had high hopes this would at least match the original masterpiece which is one of the greatest superhero/family films made with its enduring characters and themes that deconstructed the modernity of family life through Randian objectivism of its era. However, this trash film is basically a rehash of the original with little plot and one of the most subpar villain ever put on screen. Whilst there are some good laughs and the quality of the voice acting and animation is pushed further, the non-sensical plot, snail-pace pacing with the most boring A-B storyline and rehashed moments, puts this sequel as one of the worst and most disappointing film of all time. Its a shame Pixar has seemingly been dumbed down ever since Disney has purchased it. It makes me fear what Toy Story 4 will end up being after this garbage-trash tier film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So to start off, this movie could easily be a 6/10 simply because of how lazy Mr. Incredible's parts were. It's easiest to review this film by taking apart the two plots. Mr. I at home and Mrs. I at work, as well as what happens before and after. First, the movies begging. Pretty good, actually. The beggining fight scene with the villian known as the underminer, was pretty solid. Second, we get into the part where the incredibles get in trouble for being heroes when heroes are illegal. They get in trouble blah blah blah. Later Mr. and Mrs. Incredible are apprached by Frozone and he tells them there is a guy who wants to make heros legal. Ten minutes later we learn about this guy and his sister and Mrs. I is choosen to go into hero work and let Mr. I stay home with the kids. This is where we see Mrs. and Mr.'s incredbibles realationship show. They have an imperfect bond and I like how their relationship with each other was written. Sadly though, this relationship is underultilized. Now, into the two main plots. We'll start with Mr. I and his plot while he watched the kids at home. This plot was unfortunatly very lazily written and the worst part of the entire movie. Everything her has been used before. Its just the same dad has trouble taking care of the kids while mom is away with the work Superhero slapped on. Violets boy trouble, Dash's boy trouble, and Jack Jack being a problem because he's a baby. The only thing that makes these problems original is the fact that they are caused by superhero powers (save Dash, he's apparently just bad at math). Despite plot problems, I will give this part of the plot this: Its surprisingly funny. Its not always laugh out loud funny, but you'll find yourself smiling or chuckling at times. Edna's scenes were by far the best and most humorous. I mean, Mr. I's part of the plot was really only comic relief and was only really important at the end of the movie. Next, Mrs. I's plot. I loved Mrs. I's plot. It was fun, action packed and honestly, just really enjoyable. There were no humorous themes and the plot got a bit dark at times which I appplaud. On top of that the action scences are really fun the watch and the villian was really interesting, even if at times her interesting villian motivation ended up being a bit unrealistic. Now comes the twist, the villian is the sister of the guy who wants to make supers legal. She believes her father died (he was shot), because he depended on the supers to save him to much, even after they were made illegal. Its a interesting motivation, even if it is a tad unrealistic. She is known as the Screenslaver and the scences where she uses optical illusions to control people are really cool. Now we get to the part where the two plots intersect. Screenslaver takes control of Mrs. I lures Mr. I to Mrs. I and enslaves him two, and well as enslaving a lot of other heros. I dont know what to say about the conclusion. There is nothing wrong with. The kids free Mrs. I who frees Frozone and Mr. I and they stop Screenslaver from crashings a boat into the city. Supers are made legal, blah blah blah. In conclusion while Mr. I's parts were bland and lazy save some humor, Mrs. I's were fun and intewresting. I found myself able to tolerate the movies many weaknesses due to its stranghts. Where you give this a six or a seven depends how much you liked the jokes and Mr. I's parts. Mrs. I's you'll prouboubly find most people enjoying. PS: The music was also good.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Incredibles 2 has a scope that both reaches to the past and extends forward into the future. What I enjoyed the most was the family element, what makes a family, and also how different family dynamics can play out. I found the Parr family struggling with their new situation very insightful and entertaining. Edna was wonderful and Jack Jack was endearing, though by the end I found it a little ridiculous with how many powers he started to exhibit. The villain, though the reveal and character switch was a little predictable and contrived, I found their motivation very compelling and relevant in today's age and added to the suspense. In summary: It was very satisfying, funny, and compelling and I can't wait for the next one. PS:-- The short at the beginner (Bao) was very touching. Not as good as Chess Game, but then what really is right.… Expand

14 years of waiting for this film to arrive, it feels nostalgic to watch this, as a sequel to the original Incredibles 1. In my opinion, it is a humorous and family thoughtful animated movie of the year as of now.

Even though Incredibles 214 years of waiting for this film to arrive, it feels nostalgic to watch this, as a sequel to the original Incredibles 1. In my opinion, it is a humorous and family thoughtful animated movie of the year as of now.

Even though Incredibles 2 isn't as "incredible" or fresh as it's groundbreaking predecessor is, still viewers will enjoy the entertaining and rather hilarious mayhem of the new member of the Parr family, Jack-Jack who serves as the main comic relief of this film. The stunning 3D visuals are a fantastic asset of this almost 2 hours Disney-Pixar animated fare.

After 14 years of waiting, nostalgia arrives us in the theaters for the arrival of the ingenious Parr family. Mr.Incredible (voiced by Craig T. Nelson) and Elastigirl (voiced by Holly Hunter) along with their two children still got their amazing voice talents and their wittiness which are delivered successfully onto the theater screen. The plot maybe is not as inventive as the original but still compensated by the dramatic action sequences and the wittiness of the Parr family in delivering an entertaining sequel for any group age. Characterization and designs of some of the new characters including the brand new super villain lacks certain depth and innovation but still produces an adequate and acceptable entry throughout the film.

Overall, the movie is not a disappointment, it still delivers a watchable experience that viewers will come to love and enjoy.

The major pros in this movie, in my opinion, is the humor, amazing 3D visuals, and also the story deserves some extra credit because it includes involvement of family ties, relationships, and family issues revolving around them which is delightful, even though it rehashes some parts of the original. Still a very worthy sequel, after a long 14 years of waiting, and recommended to be watched.

Don't forget Edna Mode's quirkiness and humorous moments here which is worth of the wait, and including Frozone's funny wife which is starred in the trailer.

Rating: 8/10 -> 4/5 stars… Expand

In anticipation for the sequel, I rented the first film prior to going to the theater. My opinion after seeing the films back to back was that, I personally found the sequel to be a more enjoyable movie. Both films were great films, but the 2nd one just resonated with me more. The animations had improved greatly during the 14 year hiatus, with Elasta girl having some of the coolest animations I’ve ever seen in a Pixar film. The story felt fresh even in a time with a market saturated by super hero films. Yes, it is a superhero centered film, but ultimately its story about a family comes across as relatable to the audience. Incredibles 2 also added more humor this time around. A few scenes with the Dad babysitting had the theater and myself laughing out loud. I can’t say if the film was worth the wait (as I personally didn’t wait), but I can say it was a very good film. I highly recommend it to fans of the original or Pixar fans in general.… Expand

Funny thing is a fair portion of the film in theory shouldn't have been as good as it is. The part of the plot mimes Mr. Mom, they basically just switched Mr. Impossible and Elastigirl's roles, and the same major issue about the superheroes being illegal is rehashed. Yet, the dialogue, humor, and character work is so good in this that it doesn't really matter. The animation is Pixar's best work yet and the action is utterly fantastic. A lot of people have complained that the villain wasn't good enough. I didn't see that. Yeah, Screenslaver is no Syndrome in turns of personality, but the villain had a decent motivation and his mind control technology was appropriately eerie and menacing.

Also, be forewarned that this may not be a movie for younger children. Like the first one, it has a surprisingly mature back bone to it, including what is one of the darkest scenes shown in a Pixar film.… Expand

Oh course Jack-Jack and Edna steals the show. The voices or characters or their voice seems off at first, as the more you get into the movie you start to piece together who the villain is. The movie is exactly the same set up as the first, only ts elastic girl instead of Mr. Incredible. Only thing I really wish they would have put a disclaimer for people with seizures, migraines, or light sensitivity.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Following a brief and sincere 'Sorry for keeping you waiting' video package with the voice actors acknowledging the 14-year gap from the first film, Incredibles 2 delivers and exceeds our expectations we've had this last 1 1/2 decade. There's a bit of a timelessness to this film in that you have the old-designed cars, the dapper news anchors and the black and white tv's of yester-year but we've also go high speed trains, high technology suits and...what else...oh yes, superheroes. They don't directly (from what I remember) state the year/period that Incredibles 2 takes place, but the hints are there. Not having lived it, it was great that my enjoyment of the film was not hindered by the fact that I didn't know the references, if any, there were to the 'golden era.'

The plot was solid, further playing on the first film's initial struggle of 'superheroes being outlawed' and it showcased how fickle the masses can be. The introduction of the brother/sister corporate duo made synapses in my movie-goer head think "okay, who's the villain? Her? Him? Both?" I won't go into it but that may have ruined a bit of the movie for me as I was trying to find the twist instead of enjoying it as it came to me. Introduction of 'other heroes' was cool and funny, making for some accent comedy which is almost never not funny, but hopefully they'll be utilized more in a potential 3rd film.

The action felt a bit heavy handed by the end, almost clumping all the match-ups to the last 30 minutes of the film. Certain fight scenes could have benefited from an extra 5 minutes, but I'd be okay if any extra time was devoted to Jack Jack and his furry foe.

Speaking of Jack Jack, I could not be happier with how they handled him. Let's get this off my chest first: HE IS CUTE AS THE DAY IS BRIGHT AND AS THE MOON IS BIG. SO SO SOSOSO CUTE. I like how the studio knew how popular he became by the end of the first film that his screen time was essentially doubled, tripled, and doubled one more time for good measure.

One highlight moment for me was Elasti-girl, who's become the public protagonist in this film, in pursuit of her archenemy. Through coincidentally advantageous technology, Elasti-girl hops from night-time rooftops to alleys and everywhere in between, following the signal. What makes this scene so engaging is the silent nature of it all minus the villain's monologue (broadcasting over television) and how it becomes that scene's audio track. It felt like being a spy and not knowing what's going to pop around the corner. I knew it was too quiet in that scene and having that eerily static voice drone on about taking over the city/tri-state area/world/universe made it more tense than any Pixar film should make me feel.

Did it have good action? Could have had more, but I'm happy with what I saw. Did it surpass the first film? Yes, I can say yes without a doubt. Did it make me want a third film? For sure. Director Brad Bird said it himself that you don't need to see the first to enjoy this, but it will help give it some depth. Watch this one now, then go watch the first, then watch this another time. Rinse and repeat until the 3rd one comes out.… Expand

I won't go into detail beyond quoting one of the N64's pre-release mottos: "Is it worth the wait? Only if you want the best!" And while this movie repeats some surprises and themes from the first movie, and it's way more intense, a little more scary, and (attention parents) the characters do briefly use mild language, this movie is pretty much two hours of action-packed family fun! Currently tied with the first movie (The Incredibles [2004]) for my favorite movie of all time, and it will probably be very close to that for you too.… Expand

This film is the second best Pixar sequel, behind Toy Story 2. This is everything I wanted from the sequel and I am glad that Brad Bird waited until the right script came along to make it. This movie is visually stunning throughout the entire film. The action scenes are also better than the first. The way the scenes are laid out make it seem like a live action film. There's a certain action scene that comes to mind that is just amazing and something I wasn't expecting from this film. The two story arcs are both entertaining and remain that way for the whole runtime. It is truly remarkable how much the animations improve with each film. There are scenes that look like they are real which is insane. The characters are all great as expected but the villain isn't anything special and can be seen coming. However, just like most Marvel films, you can still have a great film with a good villain. This is a worthy sequel and a great film!… Expand

The portrayal of the heroes was very human and had an honest heart that kept the movie afloat. And the movie was very socially aware in an intelligent way not often seen in animated films. This is a movie I will definitely be seeing again in theaters! Well worth the wait!!!… Expand

It’s insane to be voting this film 10/10! It’s a very average film AT BEST that carries little weight when compared to the first with way to much focus placed on Jack-Jack in a very obvious attempt to sell merchandise and toys! This isIt’s insane to be voting this film 10/10! It’s a very average film AT BEST that carries little weight when compared to the first with way to much focus placed on Jack-Jack in a very obvious attempt to sell merchandise and toys! This is shameful and others should be calling these things out! This is just another Finding Dory cash grab people that benefits on the nostalgia of idiots! Furthermore Metacritic is also a joke! This film has a lower average and a lower all around score on RT than other films I’ve checked in the same average score range yet here it’s rated at 80 while other films that have gotten both a higher average and higher percentage on RT have a lower rating here! It’s very clear that Metacritic picks and chooses what reviews it wants for films it wants to promote as can easily be seen with some films having 50+ reviews to cover up a bad one bad review while others have much higher reviews but are limited in the 40’s to keep the average down! Shame on those of you who are running this scam, not everyone is so easily fooled! This how films like Moana who have an all around worse RT score and lower average score are listed as “Universally Acclaimed” while films like Zootopia who won practically every single award, (including a Oscar), has a higher RT score, a higher average score, was among AFI’s top 10 movies of 2016 (the only animated film and a very rare honor) and was hailed as one of the best animated films of all time by multiple critics is rated as just average here! This site is a joke!… Expand

Not only is it hilarious, entertaining, a bit dark and subtly emotional - something Brad Bird is known for - but the quality of the storytelling is on par with its predecessor, the growth of each character is beautiful to see and by the end of it, everyone will be excited for future installments. Certainly worth every second of the 14 years old wait.… Expand

I remember reading that he finally just had to stop reading the negative reviews of Tomorrowland, but there was nothing negative about Incredibles 2! My wife looks down on great animated movies and calls them "cartoons" and after sitting through the trailer for ReckIt Ralph2, condescendingly said, "this is the kind of trailer you get when you go to a cartoon", but within a few minutes she was smiling and had a look of wonder in her eyes that remained the entire movie! There were several very young children in the audience, and more than once my wife, myself and my twin 21 year old daughters were laughing equally as hard as these very little kids after a humorous line or scene. That's universal appeal that's very difficult to pull off. When the movie was done, our heads were spinning, having been highly entertained by so much witty humor, dynamic action and occasional touching moments. Definitely merits a 2nd viewing. Thank you to Mr. Bird, the voice actors and the rest of the Pixar staff for creating such a richly entertaining film! It's a real gift to the rest of us!… Expand

Although it is not as good as its predecessor, The incredibles 2 is a great sequel. The movie has more comedy and more action than the previous one and in those aspects it is better, but, the villain is very predescible and the new characters do not contribute much. Even so, Jack-Jack and Violet steal the movie, the action scenes of Elastigirl are incredible, the music is just as good (thanks Giaccino) and the animation is totally beautiful. The movie is totally entertaining and almost 2 hours is spent flying. The 14 years wait was worth it.… Expand
