I thought there had already been an Incredibles 2? I'll have to ask my grandkids.

Surprised no one talking about this one. Great family movie and there's a 2 min scene that will have you rolling on the floor laughing.

May not be quite as good as the first but it's a great film.

Took my grandsons to see it Friday and I'm pretty sure I enjoyed it every bit as much as they did.  :bd:

Somewhat spoilery, but a thoughtful critique (from a mostly humorous reviewer).

Saw it this afternoon with Bro and the girls. I know people think the villain's plan was self-contradictory, but.... wait, let me put up a spoiler here.

Is this the spoiler tag? Uh, no, apparently not.

[spoiler]How about this? {previewing} There we go. I see the villain's plan as being partly based on resentment against her brother who was dead set on getting this done, and she resented supers so much ideologically that (in true super-villain fashion) she decided she would enjoy messing them up even more than they already were. So it wasn't simply a case of, why bother helping them get legal if she wanted them illegal anyway? Her brother was going to be pushing for that, she could either help or not, but she helped in a way that would eventually make it highly unlikely, or even impossible, that anyone would try again to do what her brother wanted.[/spoiler]

So, I was more impressed with the story coherency than some reviewers have been. But, that being said, at no time did I even once think that this film existed for any reason other than a cash grab. Consequently, it felt reeeaaallllllyyyyy weird to see the cast and crew addressing the audience before the film, trying to pretend that it took 14 years to get a sequel because they were working so hard on it, and wanted to do a sequel proper justice. My eyes kind of goggled at that whole wanky performance.

(Which was instantly ruined by putting the wanky performance before the traditional Pixar pre-film short, like, okay, here's the sequel, here it is, thanks for waiting so long for it, annnnnnnnd, now! -- opps, no, here's this literal nightmare story of a sentient dumpling, ha ha.)

But the girls loved it, and I thought it could have been a lot worse, even if it wasn't quite on the same level of genius as film one (and its crazy hidden backstory buried in the plot details). Not a bad film at all, I'll probably buy a copy eventually. Compared to... ..... literally everything else I've watched this year so far, tops by far.  O0
