Die Unglaublichen 2

This movie is fantastic, loved the story and the characters. Where this movie loses points is in three separate continuous sequences of intense flashing. My sister is epileptic, and with no warnings we weren't prepared for any of it. She ended up seizing after the first sequence, and we had to cover her eyes for the their two. If you or any family members are sensitive to this sort of thing, AVOID THIS MOVIE.

'Incredibles 2' was probably the most anticipated movie of the year; it's hard to believe it's made 14 years since the first original. So obviously everyone was more than ready for this.

The film does come through when it comes to entertaining action and comedy, with Jack-Jack, Bob, and Edna providing most of the biggest laughs. The plot is interesting, because we've got to know what happened to the Parr family. As far as the supervillain mystery, it's acceptable and somewhat entertaining, but a bit predictable and generic. The final criticism I have is that Edna definitely deserved more screen time.

That being said, it is still an entertaining movie and not at all "painful" to watch.

In conclusion, 'Incredibles 2' is funny, exciting, and really worth a viewing.

Good: The animation for this movie was excellent just like most other Pixar movies, it was funny (especially Jack Jack) and I really liked the action sequences throughout the movie. I liked that the movie showed that parenting (when done right) can be heroic.

Bad: I thought this film has quite a few problems, the biggest problem was that the ending was pretty predictable, I could see it coming. Also, there was a feminism theme with Helen which was okay but at times it seemed to shove it in my face and it got to be annoying. There seemed to be a little too much going on in the movie and a few too many characters.

I'm glad I saw the movie, I just don't think I would see it again anytime soon.

I don't think this sequel is bad, it's a fine watch. An entertaining superhero movie for the family, but it lacks that depth that keeps people coming back to the first movie.

I recently watched the first and second Incredibles. The first has such intensity and great pacing. Many layered thematically and presentably. Moments are allowed to be subtle, stakes are high. I mean, the plane scene get me every time. But this film lacks that depth. It takes the characters for what they are on the surface and runs with that.

It's a shame, because I know it's this way because of corporate pushing. First they struggle with production, and then Disney cuts off a year of their production time, so they have to throw something together.

In short: characters are reset, villain is a shallow bait and switch, characters are boiled down to their surface level traits, new hero designs are so off and underutilized, villain's motivation and plan is thoughtless, a bit too much Jack-Jack, lacking stakes, missing the thoughtful moments, and overall a shallow follow-up.

It's not bad, just lacking, and forgettable. The visuals are nice, I almost feel like they went a little to exaggeration. Akin to pumping up the color on a photo to make it 'look better', but still, credit to the animators. If you remove its tie to the first movie, it would make a decent superhero movie, but that's it. It sadly cannot live up to the first movie, and corporate is to blame.

There is much to like here and not much that is outright wrong or bad. It's funny, fast paced, clever and overall works quite well. However there is an ever present feeling that the first one was better.. Maybe it's cause the plot is maybe a bit too predictable and cartoonish(yeah it IS a cartoon, but still..) or that the wait between the first and this one was so long and I expected something more? It's still good, just not great!
