Yipes! It was terrible... like Mystery Science Theater 3000 terrible. Needs to be riffed and parodied. Just don't try to think about it afterwards. It will hurt your brain. Did not even feel like a JP movie... (or a JW movie for that matter)... felt like a weird 1950's monster movie with James Bond-like undertones. Fun only if you are in the mood for something fun but terrible at the same time.
This is a bad movie. I honestly like it until the aliens show up and then it just turns into a "we all must band together to defeat the new enemy" routine. I would rather watch a movie about these characters WITHOUT the aliens and it ends in an epic gunfight or duel between Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig. The aliens themselves were weakly designed, were one-dimensional, and were overall not very interesting. The movie as a whole was a disappointment and the script was predictable and thoroughly uninteresting. Still, it's fun to watch Harrison Ford wear a cowboy hat and ride a horse. That's about all I can say for this movie.
Incredibles 2 is not a bad movie, per se, but it does not exactly take off the way the first one did. There was so much originality and genuine surprise in the first one and this one has little of that. The same great characters are there but the circumstances they have to face in this one are nowhere near as cool or interesting as in the first movie. There are a lot of nice moments here but they just don't add up to as compelling a narrative as we had in the first one. Which is too bad. They spend a lot of time and energy on the whole "should supers be illegal or legal" or not idea, and frankly I don't think the audience really cares too much about that. We've had X-Men movies and Watchmen traverse this exact same territory and the villain in this one is no Syndrome. So on the whole the film, especially if you are a fan of the first, is a bit of a letdown. There are some new supers here but they don't get much screen time. The most interesting "new" development is the discovery of jack jacks powers, which lead to the films most spontaneous moments. Which is too bad because Incredibles deserved better IMO.
