wildcats_rule Long wait well worth it. They didn't finish the under miner as I wished but they did a great job and loved the movie.

legalgal-1 I was THRILLED when I found out a sequel was finally being made. I was so excited! But when I saw this, I was really disappointed. The villain was telegraphed so much there wasn't any mystery to who it was. The same gags from the first one were used in this one, so there was no mystery, no surprise. The special effects for Frozone were fantastic, but.... yay. There wasn't anything different or even additional to his character. Jack-Jack was funny, but in a 2-plus-hour movie, there needed to be more laughs. Slow, boring, and nothing new. Maybe it's because I was expecting so much that I was so disappointed.

CinemaClown An action-packed, wonderfully witted & impeccably animated action adventure that was 14 years in the making, Incredibles 2 retains all the stuff that made the original an instant classic right away, and is another marvellous entry in Pixar's canon that's fresh, funny & fascinating in more ways than one.The story follows the Parr family whose latest escapade results in heavy collateral damage, forcing the government to shut down the program that supported them. In comes a tycoon with a plan to bring Supers back into the sunlight but when Elastigirl is chosen to lead the cause, Mr. Incredible decides to look after the kids.Written & directed by Brad Bird (The Iron Giant, Ratatouille & Ghost Protocol), what made the first film so intriguing, interesting & invigorating wasn't the superhero stuff but the family dynamic, and Bird brings this core understanding to this sequel. The plot is as amusing as it is riveting yet something is missing, for the film feels inferior to its predecessor.By reversing the roles of Bob & Helen Parr, Bird gives them more dynamics to explore but this arrangement also allows him to come up with some genuinely hilarious moments. The animation is way more refined & sharply detailed. And further enriching the experience are its excellent camerawork, brisk pacing, solid editing & another splendid score from Michael Giacchino.As for the vocal performances, Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Sarah Vowell, Samuel L. Jackson & Brad Bird reprise their respective roles and play their part with finesse. Once again, it's the interplay between them that's the heart & soul of this story. The new additions include Bob Odenkirk & Katherine Keener as siblings who attempt to bring back superheroes by revamping public's perception of them.On an overall scale, Incredibles 2 falls little short on yet is way more balanced than your average superhero flick. An endlessly enthralling ride that promises a fun time filled with plenty of thrills & laughs and effortlessly delivers it, Incredibles 2 may not attain the height as its predecessor due to its derivative third act & predictable twist but it's a minor shortcoming in an extravaganza that, for the most part, lives up to its name. Almost worth the 14 years wait.

Joel Nova And by development, I just mean new powers. The Incredibles family were just dropped into a script. None of any of film's characters' core beliefs, including the villain, are tested or evolve over the course of the film. Sequels need to either double down on our known characters, or introduce fresh new ones to fall in love with, and this film did neither. However, the action and comedy are extremely fun! A good fight will easily make me want to re-watch a film, but I'm not sure sitting through the dull parts around the scenes that I do like is worth the trouble. I can only rate films an 8 or above if I'd gladly re-watch it solo on my own time, but this only gets a 7 because I'd probably only watch it again at home with the family if they put it on TV.
