Review by Ralph Sepe ★★ 88

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…

Review by davidehrlich ★★★★ 18

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 just came in and single handedly made the entire superhero boom of the last decade his BITCH and I am here for all of it.

Also Elastigirl was one of my first real character loves as a kid and to have a whole movie centered around her being awesome was a dream come true I honestly could cry.
Review by Demi Adejuyigbe ★★★★½ 10

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…

Five stars for the look of wonderment plastered on my daughter’s face for every minute of this, her first theatrical movie.

A pesar de ser una película infantil me gusta mucho porque tiene muchas partes que causan gracia y los personajes están bien complementados

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Great laughs and good fun for the family! Themes were much appreciated by my wife and I in our latest stage of life!
Review by Ted Summerton ★★★★★

I don't care what anyone says, this movie is one of the most entertaining and fun pieces of media ever created and it just makes me so damn happy.
Review by Greg ★★★★

In an age where superhero movies are dominating, Incredibles 2 still manages to be a step above the rest. Sure it isn't perfect but the film handles and balances things pretty well. Action was superb, every character had a chance to shine and the film uses its medium for some pretty clever action sequences. Every character is given a chance to use their power set effectively and in a manner that actually complements each other, it was almost like a puzzle coming together perfectly. Even the villains were given powers that were actually useful and different, helping save the film from being drowned in a myriad of punches, kicks, and bullets; positively differentiating itself from its live action Marvel and…
Review by jswysin ★★★★

Is it a hot take to prefer this to the original? It has a lot of obvious similarities and retreads but I found the humor worked better for me, the role swaps provided more satisfying returns, and (maybe unfair to the first) it's visually leaps and bounds an improvement. Also, having Elastigirl as the focal point in the action makes sense as visually she provides much more interesting results than Mr. Incredible. Whatever, neither of them probably land in the top 5 of Pixar for me.
Review by FrankOFile ★★½

On the Pixar scale, this is a fair effort. The freshest parts of the movie deal with Mr. Incredible's assumption of full-time paternal duties, including watching over baby Jack-Jack, who has a truckload of superpowers and the control of an infant, that is, none. Very funny. The more conventional superhero stuff is...well, conventional. Three big set pieces deal with runaway vehicles of some sort, which, IMHO, is two too many. And the villain will be no surprise to anyone who has ever seen a superhero movie. It's not boring, but perhaps I'm getting super-hero'd out; I don't really care what's at stake in these pictures.
Review by Antonius_Block ★★★½

When the first one came out we weren't overloaded by a tsunami of the Marvel-DC superheroes movies, TV series and merchandise as today. So besides the visual pleasure and fun, to reconnect with the Par family without forgetting "auntie" Edna and the smart coincidental move to make it a movie more bout women (in the middle of the Me Too movement), the sensation of an occasional jump into the superhero universe feels sadly more like an indigestion than a gourmet super.

My biggest pleasure, however was to see myself as the dad getting sometimes completely surpassed by his father duties as I must confess that my two tireless young blond boys kind of really look and act like Dash and Jack Jack. But hey, it's only happiness.
Review by Ian Lane ★★★½

Slick, entertaining, completely unnecessary.
Review by Afleatoe ★★★½

This was pretty good. Liked the way they twisted superhero genre tropes when it came to gender and why superheroes do what they do - that there is ego and pride involved sometimes rather than just altruism. The twist reveal did get me - I predicted one person when it was the other - should have known but I was enjoying it and didn’t really think that hard about it. I liked the dad having to be a stay at home dad - there was genuine conflict at home that was fun to watch. The end was a little silly and treaded very familiar waters but I didn’t mind it. Overall, pretty good.
