Summary: 14 years after the original, everyone’s favorite family of superheroes is back in Incredibles 2 – but this time Helen (Holly Hunter) is in the spotlight, leaving Bob (Craig T. Nelson) at home with Violet (Sarah Vowell) and Dash (Huck Milner) to navigate the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life.

Nelson) at home with Violet (Sarah Vowell) and Dash (Huck Milner) to navigate the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life. It’s a tough transition for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack’s emerging superpowers. When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson) must find a way to work together again—which is easier said than done, even when they’re all Incredible.… Expand

Incredibles 2 is a movie that could have been made redundant by time. Instead, it lightens the mood in a world gone super-serious. Read full review

IGN David Griffin

Jun 11, 2018

Brad Bird’s strong script and direction elevate this animated adventure to new heights. Instead of trying to copy or parody the superhero films of the past 14 years, Incredibles 2 embraces what made its first outing so memorable: The Parr family and their willingness to work together in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

Though it would be unrealistic to expect "Incredibles 2" to have quite the genre-busting surprise of the original, it is as good as it can be without that shock of the new — delivering comedy, adventure and all too human moments with a generous hand. Read full review

The Hollywood Reporter Todd McCarthy

Boosted by central characters that remain vastly engaging and a deep supply of wit, Incredibles 2 certainly proves worth the wait, even if it hits the target but not the bull's eye in quite the way the first one did. Read full review

Be sure to make family time for Bird’s flawed but dazzling sequel. “Superheroes suck,” says Violet. No, they most certainly don’t. Read full review

This sequel to the 2004 movie is an impressive feat of animation, particularly in its action sequences. Read full review

Simply...Incredible!!! The wait was well worth it. I just hope I don’t have to wait another 14 years now for number 3

Very kind, fun and good cartoon. Although the focus is on women, it looks organic and pleasant. Unlike many movies where it is inserted for a tick, here it gives charm. I got a lot of fun from watching and from unexpected turns.

Although not as much as its predecessor, the film has a lot of great action sequences. Unfortunately, the action is not very evenly spread out and the film feels a bit dragged at times. Because of this, the film does not feel properly paced. Also, the plot of the beginning of the film with The Underminer feels too rushed and underdeveloped. However, there are lots of fun surprises and the plot is overall very good. The Screenslaver is a very compelling villain and adds a lot of suspense and mystery to the film's plot. What I've always loved most about The Incredibles is the Parr's family dynamic. Fortunately, Jack Jack's new powers and Mr. Incredible's trouble controlling them bring back and improve that essential aspect of the first film. Overall, while not quite as good as the original, Incredibles 2 brings back a lot of what made the first film great and is ultimately worth the 14 year wait.

Verdict:
Sound/Visuals - 5/5
Plot/Characters - 4/5
Plot Structure - 4/5
Dialogue - 5/5
Overall - 4.5/5 = 90%… Expand

Just great fun. Likeable characters and especially JakJak is just pure comedy brilliance. Love that pt2 picks up just where the first movie ended. The attention to detail in most Pixar movies, is still breathtaking, and this one is no exception.

I enjoyed this movie overall, HOWEVER it still is incredibly disappointing and kind of discouraging to see how this movie could have been so much better instead of this safe and corporate sequel we got. Like a better sequel would have been that the film took place years later then rightI enjoyed this movie overall, HOWEVER it still is incredibly disappointing and kind of discouraging to see how this movie could have been so much better instead of this safe and corporate sequel we got. Like a better sequel would have been that the film took place years later then right after the last film when the Underminer attacked the city. Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack can be all grown up, taking up identities removed from their family lineage, Bob and Helen could contemplate retiring now that a newer generation of heroes are taking over. It would have built on more of the family dynamic that worked so well in the first film and it would have been appropriate for fans who grew up with the first film. But instead it's basically Mr. Mom but with superheroes...

Okay that's not really fair, there are plenty of things that are good about this film. For one, the family dynamic is still great in this film. As much as I joked before about this movie having the same plot of Mr. Mom, I do like how Bob grows in this film at struggling to raise his kids, which included one touching scene. The action scenes are phenomenal, they make a lot of great use of their powers and setting, especially Elastigirl. I also like how this movie (really both films) feels a lot more like a spy film than a superhero movie, which I mean considering that Brad Bird directed Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, it make sense but still. The animation looks great and it is a ton of fun to see the characters updated with subtle updates to their models. The humor is pretty great too, especially from Jack-Jack which I was not expecting to like that much (although it is more of the characters reacting to Jack-Jack). The music is basically the same from the first film, but I mean the score to the Incredibles is one of the best film scores of the 21st century so who can complain?

Okay so for the bad. A lot like Mr. Mom (which no I will not shut up about), the characters never grow and they just end up right where they were when the film starts. Helen never learns any lesson in the end, Dash and Violet don't get a lot to do, and while Bob does have a meaningful plot about being a good dad, he pretty much just ends up being the same old Mr. Incredible from the last movie! I don't feel like any lessons were learned or any growth given to them. The dialogue can be pretty crap too. The whole legalizing superhero plot is incredibly on the nose and lacking any tension as it's never challenges any of the characters, along with some cringe-worthy lines that just do not sound right when the voice actors are delivering them. But the big issue is the villain. Screenslaver sucks! For one it is so obvious who Screenslaver is, trying to have like a red herring twist to it that is never convincing, and also the motivation they give Screenslaver is just terrible! I mean say what you will about Syndrome, at least he was well rounded, was interesting and had quirks that made him unique, and his motivation made sense to his character!

Overall I get why people will not like this movie, but I still enjoyed it personally. But it really could have been so much better than bordering on average!… Expand
