From super hero action to the importance of unity as a family, Pixar's "Incredibles" just amazes me of their powerful appeal and last. Man, it's just incredible....

Brad Bird's previous film THE IRON GIANT was more focused and had a unity of vision, while this movie is more all over the map. However the first rate animation and the likeable characters certainly made this an enjoyable flick. All the money spent on this production certanly shows on the screen, but untilmately how you relate to the protagoninsts makes all the difference-Brad Bird breathes life into his characters better than anyone else making animated movies at this time.… Expand

This Is A Really Good Movie... I Think Somewhat Overated... VERY VERY GOOD! The Best Movie Of 04! :D

First of all I need to say that this was snubbed for a best picture nomination in 2004. I haven't seen The Aviator or Sideways but I actually thought this was better than Million Dollar Baby and the best movie I've seen from 2004. It's almost perfect in terms of kids movies. Its animation, storytelling, character originality and humor is so satisfying that I could watch this movie once a week and never get tired of it… Expand

Fantastic animation, great action, originality and talented voice work make for a very entertaining Pixar adventure that pushes boundaries on the Pixar level. I give this film 87%.

One of the negative comments I see concerns the message of the movie, or one of them, which regards being special and proud of it. After 40 years of the trend in this country being to downplay people's special talents so as not to offend those who apparently don't have any, it's refreshing to see something publicly promote the idea that it's ok to work your butt off, develop your talents, and use them. We were shown by the movie that anyone can have super powers; if they aren't born with them, they can technologically enhance their own set of abilities, but what is important is how they use them. Syndrome, so aptly named, could have been a great asset to the superheros, but his motivation was not to love what he was doing and do it as well as he could, but to dominate. Fueled by wounded pride and jealousy, he created his fate. These are good messages. These are also messages for entire nations which may commit technological hubris. (cough, cough... no names need be mentioned) The movie runs as deep as it is entertaining, and is truly a movie for our time. Those who found it lagging in spots neglect to consider the power of suspense. Also, I don't think the movie would have held together as well without the background of the first half. Everything played into the causes/effects of the chase scenes and the climax. This is moviemaking at its finest. Absolutely one of the best of all time.… Expand

A beautiful film packed with loads of action, great adventure and awesome powers. Well worth purchasing.

Pixar's best most incredible fun film yet. A great popcorn film with all the action and humorous moments you could want. The cool James Bond style and comic book superhero family struggles make for the most entertaining film of the year.

Incredible in every respect: story, dialog, characters, effects, integration. Even appeals to all ages. A perfect movie.

I loved it, very funny with beautiful CG.

There are a couple scenes that don't entertain, but they're the exceptions. This movie is great fun.

Great fun for the whole famiky. Amazing visual effects, Pixar sets a new standard.

Totally wicked!

It was the best movie i ever saw. every 10 mins something cool happens. i even had a dream about it. keep an eye on jack-jack now will you.

In this nonfanboy's humble opinion, there have been far too many superheroes leaping, bounding and flying across our movie screens lately, and yet I think that even Sam, Tobey and Kirsten would agree, with no shame attached whatsoever, that they had the SECOND best comic book crusader movie of 2004. (Hellboy was an honorable, if distant, third.) The crown, if not the cape, has to go to Pixar's and writer/director Brad Bird's endlessly clever, exciting and eye-filling account of the Parrs, a family of superpeople, forced for years to hide their special powers and talents due to legal restrictions, who get an opportunity to spring back into action when geek-gone-wild Syndrome threatens the world. Bird, who worked on The Simpsons during the years when it really mattered and hadn't reduced itself to a mostly meaningless, self-contradictory jokefest, also gave us the 1999 animation masterpiece The Iron Giant, and The Incredibles shares with it Bird's scrupulously detailed yet charmingly playful eye for retro production design; the streamlined, mid-20th century Levittown look of The Incredibles' world not only makes every frame a work of art but also makes the movie's first half the greatest 1960s family sitcom ever made for small screen or large. The second half, in which action takes over without ever superseding humor, characterization or relationships, is quite simply the best James Bond movie ever made without 007 (and most of the ones with him, for that matter). If there's a downside to this, it's my fear that the Bruckheimers and bays will completely miss the point that you need a great script in order to pull this stuff off, and will wastefully kill off several stuntpeople attempting to do the live-action equivalent of Bird's computer gymnastics. The Incredibles continues Pixar's record for on-the-nose vocal casting; Craig T. Nelson enjoys the finest two hours of his career EVER (and yes, that includes the Coach episode where Hayden Fox appeared to wet his pants on live TV); Holly Hunter as Elastigirl (who could be aka Fleximom) completely erases the blot on an otherwise perfect career that was known as Little Black Book; and Samuel L. Jackson as Frozone has his most memorable movie moments since the dogs-vs-pigs debate with John Travolta in Pulp Fiction. Speaking of Quentin Tarantino, The Incredibles would make a terrific double feature with Kill Bill Vol. 2 (if you can get the kids to bed) since it's the perfect illustration of David Carradine's speech about what it's like to be born, like Clark Kent, with superpowers that you're always aware of, but have to keep hidden most of the time in order to coexist with mortals. It's far more profitable to discuss The Incredibles from that standpoint than to waste too much space trying to break down its politics, as some have attempted: it takes on both Big Law and Big Corporations, and so can't be easily pegged as either a red-state OR a blue-state movie. (If anything, it's Libertarian.) Regardless of whether The Incredibles picks up the Best Animated Feature Oscar of 2004 or not (and its failure to do so would comprise the biggest injustice of the night), it certainly holds the record for Most Self-Effacing Movie Title Of All Time. If anything, "incredible" doesn't even halfway begin to describe it!… Collapse

This was a truly great movie. In addition to great animation, it also presents a touching story that children and adults can enjoy.

Wonderful. You'd have to be a truly miserable person to not like this movie.

Its INCREDIBLE!!!! One of the best Pixar combinations for youngsters and adults alike. I can't stop watching it!!! Can't wait for the next one!!!!

I loved this film! Pixar rocks again! Geeks with plasma screen tvs! prepare to be dazzled as those super cool scenes of exotic locals and bad guy hangouts from all your fav's (James Bond, Star Wars, Fantasy Island ect.) are served up in amounts Costo never dreamed of! Plus, the feminists in your life (the kind that like thier mom...and dad) will be happy with Elastagirl turned mega mom! She's tough, technichally savvy (I love her piliot's lingo and cool reserve) and has a womanly body! The "when everyone is special no one is" threat to our heroic family is a battle cry to original people to be themselves because it's better for everyone. This is a great boost in an era when anybody who's labeled as "gifted" is encouraged to get along being like everyone else. As if being smart, pretty, talented or just..different (pick anything you like or don't like) were a disease and not a gift. If you want a fun hour and a half cue cheezy music...and cry: "To the video store, away!!!" PS don't wear a cape if you fly there (ha ha inside joke that you too can enjoy after seeing the film).… Expand

What's not to love...sweet, funny, thrilling and strangely moving. One of the best and more adult pictures of the year.

The Incredibles is the Best Picture of the year. It blends genius special effects with laugh-out-loud comedy, rip-roaring action, and touching family values into the best CGI film ever made, and one of the best films of the 21st Century so far.

Finally, a good movie! This is one of Pixar's best, knocking off the first Toy Story. It slyly skewers the classic comic book movie and action movies in general, all while being hilarious and fun!

Another wonder, by Pixar,,,,I wish that I had shares in this company.

Awesome family film, great fun for the whole family.

My son (7) thought this film was brilliant! We both laughed at the scene where the car door was crushed and wouldn't shut. The whole thing was entertaining. If you miss this film, you'll kick yourself.

Fabulous movie. funny smart & superheros with human problems.

One of the very best pictures of last year.

Absolutely Incredible. Blows Nemo out of the water.

Don't listen to J Barr what's-his-name! It was great! I myself didn't think it would be good just because it was animated, and now look at how I feel! It's one of my favorite films! Wait to go, Pixar!

Best movie since Finding Nemo. Great for the whole family. What more could you ask for?

Incredible. Oh... they already used that. Ok... Fantastic! Really, I can't wait to add the DVD to my Pixar collection. I nominate it for best picture! (not merely best animated picture, but best PICTURE picture!)

No matter what you think of the plot, story, and humor, the Incredibles is another great step for 3D animation. On the surface it may not seem so, but anyone with 3D animation or modeling experience will say the same. "Cars" looks incredible too.

What more could you want? This movie is the best entertainment on film you could possibly hope to have this year. Flawless animation, presentation, voice acting and all those tiny details bring it to life far more vividley than any other animated film to date.. save of course, other selections from Pixars library. Go see it...

A movie recommended to everybody. One of the best animation movies ever. It has everything, comedy, drama, action, and all in top-notch storytelling and visuals. It is also funny how a new family of superheroes beats all the spiderman, hulk, x-men and other recent comic hero based movies.

I loved it. Period.

The Best Computer animation movie. Pixar is my favorite animation studio. Studio Gihbli is the second.

Pixar's best film, and the most enjoyable, inventive, imaginative thing I've watched for an extremely long time. Astounding.

A sharp, funny, wonderful film. It just goes to prove that you can make an intelligent movie and still appeal to all audiences.

So better than dreamworks' shrek and shark tale!

I've simply never seen a better film. The use of architecture is stunning.

Incredibly good fun!!! the very best animation, suprassing shrek and toy story. some critic dont like the first half, complaining about its way of criticizing 'normal life' , i think they are wrong, its as funny as the other half.

THE BEST FILM EVER !!!

Great Fun!!! Surprisingly dramatic for an animated film with lots of comedy. A standard by which all future animated films will be compared. the dvd is better than the movie (I loved the extra interviews of superheroes not shown in the movie.) All emotions are evoked. Ratatouille cannot compare.

One of the best Pixar movies that is very enjoyable, funny, but not as good as "A Bug's life, Toy Story, Toy Story 2, or Monsters inc."

My Favorite Animation Movie Ever! From Start To Finish, It Was Completely INCREDIBLE!

Another great film by Brad Bird. This was a digital achievement for Pixar. It is one of the animated films along with Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, Ratatouille, Totoro, and The Iron Giant that delivered a fantasy for fans that are a geek of heart.

Easily one of the best movies ever made, and probably one of the best CGI movies ever made, with special features to make it last.

Just when Pixar where in danger of repeating themselves, Brad Bird ('Iron Giant' and 'Ratatouille') came and took them elsewhere for the best.

This is Pixar's best movie yet. And the others were great. This movie is a classic, and will be as good 20 years from now as it is today. You can't say that about Shrek 2 with all its dated jokes. Also, the late 50's / early 60's look is beautiful.

This was a great movie!

The most entertaining movie so far this year. Enough said.

This movie was fantastic! I can't wait to see it again!

This movie really is fantastic. It has a great story, great characters, and fantastic graphics. It is enjoyable from beginning to end.

For me, this movie came completely out of left field. This movie is such a suprise from Disney, that I was astonished they could still make such an incredible film even till today. The story is well-thought out, and the action sequences are entertaining and well choreographed(sp). Also, the cliches add a certain superhero flair that makes it all the more fun to watch. In my opinion, great for everyone. I thought Disney was losing their touch, but they created another classic, which I didn't think was possible since the time of The Great Mouse Detective and Toy Story to a lesser extent. Incredible Film. Note:The beginning sequence "Bounding" gets a 4 from me.… Expand

This movie should "have a warning" ?!?!? It does, ladies. It's called a PG rating. That means Parental Guidance Suggested. Quit blaming others for the fact that you don't have the judgement skills to be a good parent. This movie rocked, and my 10 year old loved it too...

This was one of the best times I've had at the movies...I had a stupid grin on my face from beginning to end, and I'm smiling now as I write this. Don't miss this clever little masterpiece.

Totally cool. Everything cool. Nothing is not cool. You gotta go catch it whether you like it or not!

My wife and I absolutely loved it!!! The only reason I gave it a 9 instead of 10 is that it had a few minutes that dragged a bit just before halftime...then it kicked in for the ENTIRE second half! All I'll say about the 2nd half is that Dash (the little boy) steals the show. There's much more of a plot than I expected, and it has a solid, pro-family theme that gives it strength throughout the movie and crystallizes at the end. It's not the eye-candy of Toy Story or Finding Nemo, but overall, it may be the most satisfying of the Pixar flicks. Bravo!!!! Oh yeah...and the short animated story that precedes the movie is also a winner. … Expand

F...ing Awsome Movie.

Wow. That's it, wow. This was easily the best PIXAR film ever made and I absolutely loved Finding Nemo, Toy Story, even Monster's Inc. Now, if you're skeptical and thought that this would be the next "Bug's Life"( which I hated.) fear not, that's how I felt and look at how much I loved it. P.S. The preview of THE NEXT pixar film, "Cars" actually looks pretty cool, it's got Larry The Cable Guy (Git-R-Done!) as its main character, plus, during the race, it PLAYS GREEN DAY'S "ARMATAGE SHANKS!" Awesome, see it with your family, your friends, by yourself, either way, you're going to love it! … Expand

This movie reads like the old James Bond films. Full of action, excitment, and humor. The animation is great and the story, simple in form, is wonderful. The film relies on it's story and characters to deliver all the good stuff a film should have and at no time do you feel like you are watching a 'just for kids' cartoon. A classic for sure.

I thought this movie was going to be kinda kiddish, but it turned out to be really funny and I loved it! Edgna was great, too.

Smart, touching and exuberant.

I can't believe people are saying it isn't that funny - I suggest you guys watch it again and keep an eye out for some of the more suBtle jokes. These were occuring just as much in the first half of the movie and I think it is unfair to say it starts slow. I was chuckling the whole time and lol'ing often. Best film of the year!

Great..

It is so funny and exciting! They should film more movies like this one. Awesome job, Pixar.

Ive gotta give pixar a hand. They finally did it. Finding Nemo had great color and Animation, but I have to say that the Incredibles has more action and humor that i thought a movie could never have in one. The scene when the young boy Dash is running through the woods and hits water is absolutley astounding, they realy hit it big on that. Pixar diserves most credit for their new movie The Incredibles, for the title says it all. the movie is truly INCREDIBLE.… Expand

The movie "The Incredibles" was spectacular! There was never a boring moment. It was either funny, action-packed, or full of suspence. I would definitely watch this movie again.

Brilliant, funny, fun, just great, makes you want to be a superhero!!

Indefatigably delightful.

I love this movie, I have seen every pixar movie in existance, and this movie is one of the best, aside from toy story. The humor is great, it has a lot of humor for adults as well as goofy fun for the kids, this movie rocks.

This movie rocks.

"Smartpants squarepants gave it a 0: It s too violent." What?!? No, it's funny, action packed, and cute. What Disney movies should be like, as opposed to the many sequels (excluding Toy Story's) that they are making nowadays instead of originals like The Incredibles.

This was a graet movie and it's a family movie as well. me and my little brother love this. As does my big brother, my half-brothers, my step-sister...you get the picture.

I don't know how, or why, but I love this film not dissimilarly to the way that I love 1997's most deserving movie for the Best Picture Oscar, "L.A. Confidential". This film harkens back to a time long removed, but not forgotten in the world of creative cinema and TV, when kids were reading the Amazing Stories comic books and children staid up past their bed times to watch Rod Serling on the "Twilight Zone". This movie is gold.… Expand

can I just say "best new animated film ever!!!" its a classic superhero movie I really don't see how anyone could watch this movie and not enjoy it

If we're all special, none of us are. Let the best of us shine.

Excellent movie! Very Funny! GREAT animation and Action.

My 19 year old son and I loved it! A cartoon that has something for every generation...

Sheer greatness. Pixar's best effort yet.

The incredibles is on my #2 spot of the ten best films of the year! The incredibles is the best animated movie of all time and i cant think of a higher praise!

The initial premise of this movie is that no good deed goes unpunished, in this case when one tries to save a lawsuit-prone society from itself. This enlightened cynicism is a rather startling attitude shift for Disney. Notwithstanding taking a cheap shot at the insurance industry, this film is a splendid exposition of elements crafted from many stock characters and situations, uniquely combined and fast-paced, with the best parts ripping along almost too fast to comprehend until the innocent fun at the end actually becomes euphoric. … Expand

First of all, this movie is rated PG (which means :"Parental Guidance Suggested. Some Material May Not Be Suitable For Children.") so if your child under 10 was scared, it is your own fault. However, the violence in this movie is much tamer than watching an episode of "Yu Gi Oh" or "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" The movie is so well crafted it is now my personal favorite Pixar Movie, hey... who said animation has to be for little kids? The characters had feeling, the story was teriffic, and the animation was... incredible. … Expand

This movie is Incredible ! People like Mary M and the Village Voice say dumb things like ... A 5 year old cried he was so scared! ... First of all this has a PG rating. If your dumb enough to take your 5 year old and he is upset it's your fault not the movie. It's a tame PG rating and much much less violent than any show on TV. It's a great animated movie with some real drama in it. The people that cry foul here are assuming it's for little kids simply because it's animated. Bad idea. It's a great film that the whole family can relate to. Go see it .… Expand

Finally, a movie I could go and see without complaining about the price of movie tickets. I thoroughly enjoyed this film, especially because the "suspention of disbelief" (in this case, making us believe that superheros could at some point be a liability) is brilliantly achieved. I could watch this film ten times and find something new every time. Way to go Pixar, finally getting us out of the glut of bad movies that has recently hit our big screens.… Expand

Pixar continues its enchantment of the world using the industry's pinnacle in artificial realism, clever humor without gimmicks, and spellbinding action through characters that you like almost instantly. I look forward to Pixar's first work after their liberation from from Disney. This is the only movie that I saw twice in the theater this year.

I'm usually not the biggest fan of cartoon movies but I must say, the folks at Pixar did it again! This movie is excellent. Not just the animation but the storyline is fabulous. Loved it!

I like violet...

Man This IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES YET and I Thought this waz awsome because mr incredible waz funny and so waz syndrom man this movie waz tight just watch this movie you'll frekin flip when u see this movie one of the best this year go see it hurry u need to go now its in thearters right now go see it.

Although The Incredibles was unlike any Pixar features to date, it certainly was up to Pixar's usual standards of quality and innovation. This movie is not for young children (there is a non-insubstantial bodycount), but for anybody over 10, it's a blast! By the way, please ignore all the other reviewers giving this movie a low rating because it's PG and not G. This is a fantastic movie, and those reviews are wildly off base.… Expand

Pixar has done it again... This could very well be their best film to date! It has all the clever jokes and subtle beauty as past releases, but this time around they add an amazing human quality. Jaw-dropping.

Amazing. I am a 30 year old male and thought it was one of the best movies I have seen in the past two years. Visually stunning and stylistic. I was amazed when I just found out the film was 115 minutes, it just flows. The only negative I could see, as I went with my four-year old daughter, is that little girls of the Barbie-frame of mind might not enjoy it quite as much as the boys. But still, do not miss this!… Expand

Not only is this film a worthy follow-up to Bird's Iron Giant and Pixar's Finding Nemo, but it is packed with a mixture of action, heart, and bitingly truthful social commentary that have not been seen before in modern animation.

This was a great movie. And Tom are you dead inside? Cause for you not to laugh at this is a fluke of nature. One of the best if not the greatest movies I've seen this year. The short at the beginning was a tad dumb and pointless. But over all this is the finest picture they have done to date.

The animation short at the beginning was by far the worst thing pixar has ever created. The animation was fine in it, just the story sucked. The movie was excellent. There was plenty of comedy, action, drama, and some heart warming scenes as well. I think this was way better then Finding Nemo. There were times when the animation looked real. The water animation was fantastic. The characters were good. What message the movie gives you is for you to decide. I found a differnet meaning of things then others did. Either way, this is a great movie that you will love. My 5 year old is still talking about it. :)… Expand

Excellent! Pixar does it again! This film is incredible.

Funny, exciting and intersting. i thoght this movie was goin to be very "kiddy" but i was pleasantly surprised to find that this was actually a very, very good film i highly reccomend seeing it.

Incredible!! I absolutely loved this film from start to finish. The plot, pacing, characterisation, humour, visual jokes, storyline and groundbreaking computer grahpics are all blended perfectly in my opinion into one of the best films ever made and definately the best animated film ever. This film is pure genius (again) by Pixar and a trully must-see film for the whole family.
