The story does grip, more so in the Elastigirl story that really held my attention before the villain reveal underwhelmed. Writing has many moments of humour that provides a lot of laughs (Jack Jack steals the show here, especially with his powers and his fight with the racoon, with some nice lines later from Edna), moments that probe thought and drama that's relatable and never too sentimental (if not as poignant as one would like). The action is superbly animated and thrilling with real suspense and excitement. Michael Giacchino's score gets one in a rousing mood while also being dynamic with the action. The animation is fantastic, smooth, vibrant in colour and meticulous in background detail, some very striking details, a richly immersive setting and the characters are well designed. However, it may sound like 'Incredibles 2' was a bad film. While the characters are fun, it did feel like there were too many, not sure whether it needed that many superheroes that aren't given enough to do other than in the climax. Found their plan convoluted, that when explained made me want a re-wind button which was not possible in the cinema, and the motivation was pretty weak and extreme, took a while for me to get my head round. The villain was forgettable (one of Pixar's weakest easily), the twist concerning their identity that was too obvious too soon. Like others, among my biggest problems were to do with the villain. It was a little too long for a story as slight as it was, would have trimmed it by 15-20 minutes and tightened the first act's pacing with it taking a bit too much time to get going. ![]() 'Incredibles 2' does lack 'The Incredibles' originality (not much new here) and its emotional impact and character development is also not as good, the latter particularly is noticeably thinner (Bob for example was more complex before). Expectations were high for its long awaited sequel fourteen years on, and while it is not as good a film, and what could and should have been super and incredible wasn't quite, on the most part 'Incredibles 2' was worth the wait. While not one of my favourite Pixar films, 'The Incredibles' is still a very, very good film that has gone even higher in my estimations after a well overdue re-watch to get myself prepared for 'Incredibles 2', fantastically animated, exciting, funny, emotionally investable and ground-breaking with great characters. Also like to love a vast majority of their feature films, my favourites being the 'Toy Story' films, 'Up', 'Coco' and 'Inside Out' and my least favourites being the 'Cars' sequels and 'The Good Dinosaur'. Have always been a big fan of Pixar, liking to loving pretty much all their short films (particularly 'Presto', 'One Man Band', 'Geri's Game', 'Piper' and 'Knick Knack'). Not exactly original (hence a score that isn't higher), but well worth seeing.unlike the countless "Ice Age" sequels and the like. There are also other feminist aspects of the story.but I'll say no more since it would spoil the plot! Overall, an incredibly well animated and thoroughly enjoyable film. Incredible learn to be tender and a caregiver. Incredible become the family breadwinner and Mr. Of all the recent kids films, I must say that "Incredibles 2" has the strongest feminist message. Ultimately, however, the entire family is forced into action to not only save the day but Mrs. Incredible is forced to become a house husband.and he struggles with learning to parent effectively and live without using his super skills. It's not that he is evil.but someone around him has an agenda of their own. However, when an eccentric billionaire offers to help the family rehabilitate the image of heroes in an effort to get them unbanned, bad things are in store. In this follow-up, super-heroes have been banned and the Incredibles family is not about to break the law. However, I am happy I saw "Incredibles 2" as it was worthy of the franchise and offers enough new content to make it worth your time. This is especially true to kids' films in recent years an it seems like a bazillion cartoons and CGI movies have been made and remade in a cynical attempt to make money. I hate most sequels and don't think most of them are necessary.they are just an excuse to squeeze money out of the popularity of the first film. ![]()
