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

Incredibles 2 hardly shakes the foundations of what a superhero movie should be, but it’s a raucous crowd-pleaser that serves up enough mouthwateringly beautiful eye candy to delight kids and grownups alike.

I personally feel this movie is superior to the first in terms of animation, villain, storytelling, and getting the kids and Helen a bigger role.

This follow-up is every bit the start-to-finish sensation as the original, and you'll be happy to know that Bird's subversive spirit is alive and thriving.

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

Constrained by expectations and established character/plot limitations, Incredibles 2 lacks the freshness and ingenuity displayed by its predecessor. It’s good, fun family entertainment but it’s not incredible.

The action sequences in Incredibles 2, which was edited by Stephen Schaffer, are elegantly conceived and fluidly executed, as good as anything we’re likely to see on screen this year, in animation or live action, which only makes the rest of the movie seem that much clunkier by comparison.

The first incredible was a fantastic family favorite but the sequel loses alot of the heart, wit, warmth and entertainment that made the first one so great. The writing really suffers here as Disney attempts to squeeze too much into the format, sacrificing character development and a well connected plot for lazy political and social messaging to make up for the mediocre script. Powers are inconsistent and our heros are able to wield them only to the extent it serves to be a plot device. The writers clearly want to showcase Mrs Incredible as the main plot driver but also want to focus on Mr. Incredible as the stay at home dad. The result is a poorly developed main story line and while it does add a stronger secondary story line, it doesn't make up the difference. The first one had a great, in depth, main plot with enough super hero family experiencing regular life touches wrapped together by a great 2nd and final act. Disney pushes the Mr incredible challenged as a dad for too much screen time, resulting in an undeveloped and weakly written main character and villain arc. Not all the charm is gone and there are humorous and enjoyable moments (I would have desired to see a greater role for Frozone) and one character that doesn't lose her shine is Edna. The final act is quite good however the villain is extremely predictable and Disney relies on the same "genius inventor turned bad" plot idea but in a far less intricately woven and far clumsier delivery. Overall Incredibles 2 is not a bad movie, but falls far short of the bar set by the first one.

Picking up immediately after the first film, we find Bob, Helen and the kids still navigating the tricky waters of superhuman illegality, despite saving the world in a handful of very public conflicts. It's great to see the whole cast together again, from headliners Holly Hunter and Craig T. Nelson to supporting players like Samuel L. Jackson, and the effects have never looked better. Pixar almost always seems to one-up themselves in that respect, but it still bears mentioning: Incredibles 2 is a real sensory spectacle. The primary story is a let-down, though, like something I'd expect to find in a filler issue between big events. After fourteen years away, I would've hoped for something with a bit more emotional punch, an adventure that feels more essential and complex. Instead, it loosely apes a few smaller subplots from the first film, swaps the headline roles, tosses in a few lazy, telegraphed twists and then wraps it all up on an empty happy note. Visually dazzling, with a good sense of humor, but generally quite hollow and, sadly, almost completely missing the warm, witty commentary on classic superhero stereotypes that made the original work on so many levels. This felt like a B-team's admirable, but failed, effort to step up to the big leagues.

I, like everyone else, loved the first movie and couldn't wait for this sequel. After seeing the trailer i was a bit worried that the plot wasn't going to be very interesting, however, the original trailer for incredibles 1 was awful too, so i wasn't too worried. Unfortunately the trailers were correct this time, the plot of this movie is simply terrible. Despite taking place literal seconds after the first film, none of the characters have seemed to have grown or progressed from the beginning of the first. The flaws they all had at the start of incredibles 1, are all still issues in this film. The only real difference is mr incredible and Elastigirl have had their roles reversed for no real reason. The one story line i enjoyed was with bob struggling to look after his children and be "incredible" as he is expected to be. Its just a shame that is never looked into deeper. It would be far more interesting to spend some more time developing his character to come to grips with the fact he cant always fix everything, or solve every problem, but instead its resolved by the next scene. Turning back to the plot, the motivations of the villain make no sense, at all. It doesn't help the villain is also extremely boring and extremely predictable. The character of syndrome in the first film makes this film feel like it was written by a child, and outside of the quality of it's animation, this film really has nothing going for it. 3/10 - Needed a whole plot rewrite to even be worth making :(

It’s insane to be voting this film 10/10! It’s a very average film AT BEST that carries little weight when compared to the first with way to much focus placed on Jack-Jack in a very obvious attempt to sell merchandise and toys! This is shameful and others should be calling these things out! This is just another Finding Dory cash grab people that benefits on the nostalgia of idiots! Furthermore Metacritic is also a joke! This film has a lower average and a lower all around score on RT than other films I’ve checked in the same average score range yet here it’s rated at 80 while other films that have gotten both a higher average and higher percentage on RT have a lower rating here! It’s very clear that Metacritic picks and chooses what reviews it wants for films it wants to promote as can easily be seen with some films having 50+ reviews to cover up a bad one bad review while others have much higher reviews but are limited in the 40’s to keep the average down! Shame on those of you who are running this scam, not everyone is so easily fooled! This how films like Moana who have an all around worse RT score and lower average score are listed as “Universally Acclaimed” while films like Zootopia who won practically every single award, (including a Oscar), has a higher RT score, a higher average score, was among AFI’s top 10 movies of 2016 (the only animated film and a very rare honor) and was hailed as one of the best animated films of all time by multiple critics is rated as just average here! This site is a joke!
