The Incredibles was a masterpiece, a classic. One can say it’s a part of this generation’s childhood, and it is. Incredibles was really an incredible concoction from a then young venture of Disney and Pixar 14 years ago and it took them this amount time to give a follow up.
This family of superheroes was identifiable with any growing families out there. Hot-headed, hormonal teenage daughter, curious son and a baby/toddler who lights up the room. It was pure joy seeing them back at it.
Though it has the same plot, it offered little growth as a family, it mainly examined family roles, gender roles (surprisingly) and trust. What if the mom is the bread winner? What if the dad takes over the household? You see, Mr. Incredible handled that extraordinarily when I thought we were up to see him snap. Instead he dedicated that time to get to know his family more and step up.
The animation was of course, phenomenal. After seeing the first movie again, the improvements in the graphic was outstanding without steering away from the original look. It’s almost like a Marvel Film and it almost went into avenging (thank god it didn’t).
It’s a family movie that is relatable to all ages. Funny and sentimental. Jack Jack stole the show with his 17 (and counting) powers, proving that when he grows up, he’s gonna the be the most incredible. Edna Mode was fun to see again, as well as Frozone who I didn’t know was Samuel L Jackson.
Incredibles 2 was graphically minimal, very aesthetic. But combined with Brad Bird story-telling and masterful directing, Incredibles 2 is a movie worth waiting for.
Grade: 5/5 Stars
