Sad that the blatant sexism in this movie still goes under the radar. Yet another movie/show with a father who is depicted as a sort of buffoon who is talked down to by his wife. I couldn't keep watching. The disrespect of men in the westernSad that the blatant sexism in this movie still goes under the radar. Yet another movie/show with a father who is depicted as a sort of buffoon who is talked down to by his wife. I couldn't keep watching. 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

14 years in the making and it still feels very half-baked. The plot is unoriginal, predictable and features a completely forgettable villain who makes no sense in doing what they are doing.

The plot is unoriginal, predictable and features a completely forgettable villain who makes no sense in doing what they are doing. You see a gender swap here where Helen becomes the big hero and Bob is now the stay at home dad dealing with Jack Jack's developing powers (probably the only funny thing about this movie), Violent's typical teenage girl problems and Dash just kind of chilling and not really doing much all film other than an occasional one-liner.

So yeah, All in all, this film suffers from some pretty terrible writing that tanks it. Kind of wish they'd stop doing sequels because they just don't even compare to the original for a majority of the time.… 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

The content was way over my kids heads and there were quite a few instances that used adult language. Pixar and Disney has lost my trust. They're moving further from their roots. We almost walked out 1/4 of the way through. So sad. They were even drinking alcohol in one of the scenes. Bad, real bad.… Expand

Pathetic. Yes, these are all the same characters, but already in a different soup. The plot is sucked from the finger, constant unreasonable quarrels of heroes, weak humor, disgusting soundtrack.

Warning to parents-
Incredibles 2 has cartoons swearing in it!
This is completely appropriate for a children's show! This was a big disappointment.

The Incredibles 2 is essentially a lazy, less funny re-run of the first film. Very possibly the first genuinely bad film Pixar have produced.

After seeing the trailer i was a bit worried that the plot wasn't going to be very interesting, however, the original trailer for incredibles 1 was awful too, so i wasn't too worried. Unfortunately the trailers were correct this time, the plot of this movie is simply terrible. Despite taking place literal seconds after the first film, none of the characters have seemed to have grown or progressed from the beginning of the first. The flaws they all had at the start of incredibles 1, are all still issues in this film. The only real difference is mr incredible and Elastigirl have had their roles reversed for no real reason. The one story line i enjoyed was with bob struggling to look after his children and be "incredible" as he is expected to be. Its just a shame that is never looked into deeper. It would be far more interesting to spend some more time developing his character to come to grips with the fact he cant always fix everything, or solve every problem, but instead its resolved by the next scene. Turning back to the plot, the motivations of the villain make no sense, at all. It doesn't help the villain is also extremely boring and extremely predictable. The character of syndrome in the first film makes this film feel like it was written by a child, and outside of the quality of it's animation, this film really has nothing going for it. 3/10 - Needed a whole plot rewrite to even be worth making :(… Expand

Not incredible. Simply a bad kids movie. It takes the original movie, spits all over it, and no longer has the strong family dynamic and great villain.

It's like they took every good part of the last movie and tried to just remake it instead of adding to it, but did a terrible job. And the subtle female empowerment is not necessary? Man can't do the job because he's too aggressive and destroys more than he helps. Solution? Let the women handle it, they'll do a better job. Just tired of my escapism being ruined with agendas.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay, so, you thought Incredibles 2 was a good movie? You thought it was as good, or better than the first. Maybe you even thought it was just "okay." I'd like to make a few points that I believe more or less deny any hopes of Incredibles 2 ever being solidified as a classic alongside The Incredibles, or even hope to be believed to be a good movie. I'm going to get a bit of a pet peeve out of the way before moving on into the bigger points. These don't really affect the quality of the film by themselves, but on top of the others, they just sort of throw salt in the wound. First off, it's not *The Incredibles 2*, it's just Incredibles 2. For some reason, they decided to stray from *The Incredibles* to just *Incredibles 2*. Just sort of a pet peeve. With that out of the way, I'm going to move on to some more egregious errors. My first frustration with this film is the seemingly sudden personality changes for certain characters, most notably Violet, but Dash and Elastigirl/Helen also have different traits than the original classic. Violet seems to have changed from a shy, sweet teen to a super angsty teen. You could claim that this was due to the events of the first film, but it doesn't really make sense that'd she go from her original personality to this seemingly different person. She was clearly more confident and open by the end of The Incredibles, but not angry and angsty. Helen is another example of seemingly unexplained characterization switching. In the first film, she was very hesitant to get into hero work, and chastised Mr. Incredible/Bob whenever he did illegal hero work. However, she's immediately ready to jump on this illegal hero train, and despite trying to hide it, actually is clearly enjoying it. Where did this sudden adrenilene feuled thirst for illegal hero work come from?
Dash has experienced something of a *non-characterization* approach in this film. He is there seemingly for no reason, and he does basically nothing throughout the film. He just runs around and does things that get into mischief. A problem similarly found with Jack-Jack. Whom I also hate in this film.
Mr. Incredible/Bob seems to have gone through what I call the **Lightning Mcqueen** effect. In the Cars franchise, the movies follow a very similar formula. We open the film by seeing Mcqueen act like an a-hole, he goes through something, then by the end of the movie he is no longer an a-hole. Lather, rinse, repeat. Unfortunately, they seem to have taken this route with The Incredibles. By the end of The Incredibles, he has learned the values of family (as cheesy as it sounds), and has saved both his reputation, and we're lead to believe the reputation of supers is rather high. Now, we follow him go from an arragont a-hole, to learning the values of family and seemingly the reputation of supers *again*. Which leads me into my next point: this movie is just a lesser repeat of the original. It reuses plot points, character archs, and "plot twists," from the original. We reuse the dislike of supers, and end with the the re-introduction of supers into the world. **Now you could say that they didn't end the first film with re-introduction, but that is what you are lead to believe has happened.* It reuses, as mentioned above, Bob's character arch. It reuses a surprise not surprise villain reveal. And yes, that is a total recycled concept, because to be fair, it was super easy to predict the villain of The Incredibles. Speaking of villains, the villain in Incredibles 2 is one of the most *generic, boring, stupid* villains I've seen in a long time. One of the worst parts of Screenslaver/Evelyn is that she doesn't provide a believable backstory. Being as intelligent as she is, you'd think that she'd understand that Supers weren't the cause of her dad's death. Because of the backstory provided by her and her brother, we are immediately dragged out of believabilty for this story because of how much depends on this terrible backstory. One of the things that made the original film so good was that we both understand where Syndrome is coming from, and can actually empathize with him, and if he weren't evil, maybe we'd even side with him at times. One of the problems with Incredibles 2 is that it has such a legacy to live up to. The orignal had such ~~incredible~~ dark themes throughout it, such as the failing mairage between Bob and Helen, dozens of murders, and actual child murder. It was a action drama with certain humorous bits scattered throughout. Incredibles 2 takes a complete 180 from that. It decides it wants to be a family comedy, while still trying to be edgy. One of the biggest examples of this is the huge emphasis on Jack-Jack. This movie wastes so much time on long sequences of Jack-Jack mischief. Sure, there are moments throughout these sequences that could be funny. But there is an over-saturation of it throughout the film, and it kills both the flow and pace.

Two words. Political. Predictable.
Sexism through feminism.
However, the last 30 minutes are enjoyable.
