The original Incredibles is one of my favorite family animated films so I was looking forward to this. I didn't hate it. In fact there are a few things I like about it. The animation is great as usual, the choreography during the action sequences was fun and frenetic, there are a couple of funny jokes and I like that they managed to balance everyone's screen time so you got to see just enough of each character.
The issue when making a sequel is that it should not only stand on its own as a good film, but it should feel like a necessary extension of the original. This film does nothing to justify its own existence and it felt…

In a film that isn’t particularly full of bold choices, “Incredibles 2” starts with a doozy: It picks up right where the first one left off, seeming to ignore the fact that a lot has happened in the 14 years since Brad Bird first joined forces with Pixar. The world is no longer the same place that it was in 2004, and the state of its superhero movies is similarly unrecognizable from what it was back then. Faster than a speeding bullet, the genre has become a major engine of the modern Hollywood machine, and the idea of a world without superheroes is now as unfathomable to us as it always was to Mr. Incredible, himself.

A clever pastiche that…

Brad Bird is the best action director currently working. And the only person who should be doing superhero stuff right now, sorry. As much as I really enjoy Marvel movies, this movie made me realize what I’ve been missing from (what feels like) an eternity of superhero films– there’s a real sense of tension and heart in the things they do, even when you know everything’s going to work out because it’s a movie.

Everybody’s powers are so specific that the fight scenes seem choreographed like puzzle pieces fitting into slots, and not just various strong people punching each other or gaining new powers from their suits whenever it’s convenient. Even the new people introduced are given proper introductions as…

Nearly 14 long years. That is how long I've been waiting for this movie. So needless to say, I was pretty excited about this movie finally coming out. And now having seen it, I'm still excited about it. It was a really great film and does a great job in continuing the story of the Parr family. All of the characters are great, old and new. The animation is spectacular, but that is pretty much expected from Pixar at this point. Everyone at Pixar has a lot of talent, and you can really see the love and attention they put into their work. It was a fun superhero movie outside of the MCU and DC universe and was a great…

Pixar bringt Die Unglaublichen endlich wieder auf die Leinwand. Die Fortsetzung zum beliebten Superhelden-Animationsfilm schafft es dabei spielend leicht den Charme und die Stärke des 14 Jahre alten Vorgängers einzufangen. Pixar erzählt mit Die Unglaublichen 2 eine moderne Superheldengeschichte im klassischen Look. Regisseur und Autor Brad Bird nimmt sich genügend Zeit, um seine Geschichte zu erzählen und verpasst seinen Helden zudem neue Facetten. Auch wenn die Story ein wenig holprig und zum Teil vorhersehbar ist, ist sie doch gelungen und vermag für fast 2 Stunden zu fesseln.
Auch bietet der Film einige gelungene Actionszenen, die rasant und spannend inszeniert sowie perfekt animiert sind. Pixartypisch ist der Humor durchaus gelungen und spricht auch die Erwachsenen an. Besonders gelungen sind die Seitenhiebe…
