Reviewed by digitalbeachbum 1 / 10 I waited how long for this pile of trash? In truth I think that this sort of thing was done way better in 'Megamind', 'Despicable Me' and of course the first Incredibles feature.Īt leat I can't accuse it of being a quick cash-in but really this is one set of retired super-heroes which should have remained on the shelf. The sub-plot of Violet and her young beau reminded me of any number of 'Married With Children' episodes with like I said, a lack of good gags, plus Dash's characterisation was just irritating and new shape-shifting baby Jack-Jack (what kind of name is that?) even more so.įor me, I found the film really dragged in places with its too predictable villain and unmemorable climax which no amount of flashy graphics could disguise. I'm trying now to remember a really funny, laugh-out-loud line or memorable eye-popping sequence and I find I can't. The outlawed super-heroes / aliens / mutants theme has been done to death, from the X-Men to the Marvel Civil War right up to the current Supergirl TV series, likewise the husband and wife role-reversal with Mr Incredible's turn as three super-babies and a super-dad again seemed old-hat while Elastigirl's elevation to solo superstardom also felt a little like a forced and belated concession to PC-dom. Somehow, for me, the movie just fell flat and didn't please me to anything like the degree of its predecessor.ĭon't get me wrong, the Pixar animation is fantastic as always, but somewhere along the line, the story, characters and humour lack something. Better late than never you might say but personally after watching this 14-years later sequel, I'm tending to better never than late.

I loved the first 'The Incredibles' and remember wondering why a follow-up hadn't been made soon after its success. Elastigirl must solve the mystery of this enemy who has malevolent designs on the world, with the Parr family and friends key targets of this evil. However, Elastigirl has her own concerns dealing with the menace of a new supervillain, Screenslaver, who is wreaking havoc with his mind-control abilities. Incredible finds domestic life a daunting challenge, especially when baby Jack-Jack's newly-emerged powers make him almost impossible to manage. Having agreed for now to stay home to look after the kids, Mr. However, the wealthy Deavor siblings of Devtech offer new hope with a bold project to rehabilitate the public image and legal status of Supers, with Elastigirl being assigned on point to be the shining example. After they are arrested after unsuccessfully trying to stop the Underminer, their future seems bleak. While the Parr family has accepted its collective calling as superheroes, the fact remains that their special heroism is still illegal.
