Incredibles 2

It is quite rare for a feature, series or even an episode to match the expectations of its predecessor and live up to the hype (it is higher than usual in here since it has been 14 years) delivering everything that the fans want and a bit more, (just for fun) attaining the perfect balance of commercial and art cinema. As usual, the Pixar animation is rich in it's finely detailed script and visual aesthetics that is not only adorable (Jack Jack steals the show), witty and "cool" to encounter at, but is also thought-provoking that speaks volume on character's perspective through it. The script is adaptive, engaging and filled with exhilarating sequences that up beats the momentum of the situation and elevates the heartbeat of the audience using the character's connection among them wisely that redefines the cultural genre which is taken for granted nowadays. The return voice over cast convincingly sticks to their characters along with the newer cast whose characters are equally juicy and nutrient. Brad Bird; the writer-director, has done a tremendous work on executing his anticipated vision (an ahead-of-its-time vision that is adequate for the current society that we all reside and still never goes pretentious or chalky) on screen. Despite of walking on a familiar structure of the script, the feature is eerily an inversion of its previous installment and still makes sense in a whole new way; kind of like a palindrome, which is poetic of Brad to do so. The pace and the tone of it is kept alive and even throughout the course of it which was palpable in the first installment too, picking up right where it was left. It is rich on technical aspects like sound department, visual effects (the chase sequence of Elastigirl is breathtaking as it leaves the room with a long gasping of awe) and editing. Incredibles 2 is as smooth as jazz for its strong writing, gripping screenplay and brilliant execution not only charms its way around the viewers and instead has a warm gift wrapped under its "family" sheet for them.… Expand

Not quite the bullseye the first movie was, but close. The humour fell a little flat for me and some of the details about plot and characters was confusing. No spoilers, just can't be bothered to explain the confusion.

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

There's a plot twist with the villain, takes her prisioner & every superheroe has to fight together. The interaction between Bob & his kids is fantastic. All the characters have good performance & their time on screen; Jack Jack is amazing. CGI is awesome; the details are stupendous; music is astonishing. Good sequel & has the same tone & atmosphere that connects with the first one.… 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

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

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

Incredibles 2 was a blast to watch in the theaterTons of fun, neat villain, awesome new characters, poor sequel. 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

By that, I mean it doesn't have near the impact of the first, but is still enjoyable in its own right. The characters are fun to be around and that's about where the impact ends.

The best parts of Incredibles 2 are when we get to see the family dynamic. That's always been the strength of the series, but here it's more apparent than in its predecessor. Elastigirl has definitely got some moments to shine on her own (the Elastibike scene comes to mind), but the story arc concerning the main baddie feels auxiliary and predictable.

Still, I was laughing and enjoying the spectacle along with everyone else in the theater. This one may not have the lasting impact of the first, but then again, it would have been a tall order for us to expect otherwise.… Expand

It was a really fun movie. The action scenes were terrific in this movie, with the exception of the one scene with the Mind-controlled pizza guy fight with Elastigirl. With all the flashing lights, it was hard to see and kind of hurt my brain. Also, I could haven lived without the Violet subplot, as it seemed unnessasary to the actual plot of the movie. Other than that I was laughing and in awe of the rest of the film. I would recommend it, but let’s be honest, who isn’t going to see it? It’s a win for me.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have to admit that I enjoyed this one. The first one is still my favorite as it had better humor in it and of course, Jason Lee, who was excellent in it. Here, the standouts are Frozone, Void, and Jack Jack. The other characters were great too, but those three characters added something significant to the story. Frozone had a bigger role in this one not just as a friend but as someone who saved the kids and even got them to meet the rich guy in the movie.

While I didn't feel as excited as I did during the island scene in the first one, this one wasn't that bad. The first time I checked my watch to see how long I've been sitting there, it was at 1h15 and it didn't feel like it. Still, not a bad movie and a decent follow-up to it. Violet's side story just seemed unnecessary and could've been edited out, I guess. Dash was OK but he was good when he got control of the car.

It's probably the best Pixar movie I've seen in many years since they started their decline with Toy Story 3 (which you have to admit that the writing wasn't that good in that one.... the "Lincoln Logs" joke was obviously painful).… Expand

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

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

With thatThe wait is finally over and after 14 years, we finally have Incredibles 2. I consider the original film one of pixar's best, if not the best, and I was more excited than I had been for any animated film in a very very long time. With that said, I walked into Incredibles 2 hoping it would be at least a good film and walked out thinking it could be the best animated film of the year. Incredibles 2 sucked me right back into the world that I grew up with as a kid and allowed me to enjoy every second of it just like I did back when the original did. The characters, setting, and world that director Brad Bird built from the ground up in the first film are back and more vibrant and beautiful than ever, with the characters feeling just like they did 14 years ago. This was clearly a sequel that had such passion and imagination behind it and it shows throughout the entire runtime. It's a film that pays respect and builds off the original while presenting it's own ideas, creating a unique experience that doesn't feel like a nostalgia cash-grab. I virtually have no issues with this movie, despite the fact that the villain isn't quite as good as Syndrome was in the first film, but still interesting enough to carry the story along. However, the villain isn't really much of an issue when the film's true strength lies in what made the first so memorable, that being the heroes and their dynamic as a family. There are parts that I enjoyed more than the first, that being the action, which was more varied and more exciting to watch, and the comedy, which has this movie being slightly funnier than the first. Overall, Incredibles 2 is a sequel that people wanted, and it's the sequel people deserve. It delivers in every way that it needed to, and even goes the extra mile in some aspects. It's about as good as the first, and if this means we get to see more of the Parr family in the foreseeable future, than I can't wait.… 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

These situations foster a sense of intrigue and future attachment to the film's storyline for the audience, where the only question becomes: "When will there be more?" And for Pixar's "Incredibles 2," Brad Bird delivers just that. Bird allows his fans to enter that same world that feels nostalgic to those who grew up in the early 60s, yet almost new at the same time, where the laser gates to Edna Mode's home or Mr. Incredible's "Incredible Mobile" work in parallel to the life the other citizens are living. At my screening of the film, I think only a few kids were present, as the rest of us were either in our late teens or early 20s and 30s, proving that with a great storyline and a drive to create something fresh and vibrant, then, even 14 years later, Pixar's animation captures our inner kid inside us all. Therefore, if I had to sum up Incredible's 2 in one word, it would be no other than "incredible."… 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

My little heart was so full of joy watching this film and I really couldn't say any bad things about this film. The film ended on another cliffhanger with Violet going on a date, only do go on a special, crime-fighting mission with her family (which wasn't revealed to us!) I would highly, highly recommend going to see this film (if you get your hands on tickets of course) with your family and friends! There isn't a doubt in my mind that you won't enjoy it!!

I believe that the story is not as strong as the first one and there are times where you don't feel the scenes. But most of them are spot-on and are really funny. Funnier than the first film to be honest. Overall the film is great. And is just a fun family film and you wouldn't want to miss it on the big screen. It may be 15 years too late, but that wait was just worth it. Brad Bird is just really phenomenal. I hope you watch this in cinema, because it was such a pleasure. Great film and worth every single penny.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is very good, and is up to par with the original, if not even better. With delightful visuals, and a good story, this movie will keep adults and children entertained for the entirety. The subtle-not so subtle anti-screen propaganda is annoying, but is fairly easy to get around. The super mom message was good, and I enjoyed it a good bit. I went in expecting extreme 'super female lead character' motives as the movie industry has been playing on for a while, but it's surprisingly toned down, and is enjoyable versus in your face. The side characters were fairly good, but could've used a little more work. The Jack-Jack subplot was fairly good, and Edna played a very good overbearing aunt. Was it worth the 14 year wait? Sure. It was a good movie, and I'd go see it again any time. Good movie, and with a few tweaks it could be a very well made movie. I'd see a third and have it be a trilogy. Sure!… Expand

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.

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 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.

This movie is as good as the first one, but not better, for one crucial reason. TheThe Incredibles 2 is finally out!!! after fourteen years of waiting, we finally get back to the adventures of the Parr family, and it is Incredible.

This movie is as good as the first one, but not better, for one crucial reason. The Incredibles 2, while it is an incredible movie, has the same exact plot from the first one. The film handles the plot greatly though, trying to spice it up a little by reversing the roles between Mr.Incredible and Elastigirl.

The movie is very predictable though, and the big twist is noticeable from the beginning.

The breakout star in this film is Jack Jack! he is soooo cute and adorable and he has the best fight sequence of 2018. He also has an amazing gallery of powers and abilities. I was not a big fan of the new supers introduced. I thought they were a little unnecessary and some of there powers and designs are a little wacky.

This is probably one of the greatest animation to ever be rendered in any film to date. The designs of characters are astonishing, and the worldbuilding is stunning.… Expand

The result is a fun return, yet one that came upConsidering the first film is my all-time favorite Pixar film to this day, I had pretty high hopes for this to be just as good, if not, better, and that this 14 year wait would really pay off. 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

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.

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?
