More The Incredibles reviews
As hard as it is to believe, The Incredibles is already six years old now! When it came out it was pretty darn mind-blowing (despite the fact that behind the scenes Disney and Pixar were bickering to the point where Pixar would try to sever the relationship entirely but be unsuccessful at finding a new distributor). There has actually been a lot of evolution in the genre in the six years following the Incredibles’ big screen debut but you really wouldn’t … more

In my honest opinion, there have been far too many superheroes leaping, bounding and flying across our movie screens lately, and yet I think that even Sam, Tobey and Kirsten would agree, with no shame attached whatsoever, that they had the SECOND best comic book crusader movie of 2004. (Hellboy was an honorable, if distant, third.) The crown, if not the cape, has to go to Pixar's and writer/director Brad Bird's endlessly clever, exciting and eye-filling account of the Parrs, a family of … more

Ever wonder what happened to all of your favorite childhood super heroes? Well, perhaps they have retired into normal lives with normal families. Perhaps. Not long after Mr. Incredible marries Elastigirl, a mountain of lawsuits pile up against all the super heroes from the destruction they leave behind while saving the world and the people who inhabit it. Forced into retirement, the Incredibles settle down to lead a normal life, working normal jobs and raising their children. … more

Pros: witty, fun, good action, great animation, plenty of extras Cons: no sequel in the works, and I have Never said that as a Con before! The Bottom Line: "No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved!" Plot Details: This opinion reveals minor details about the movie's plot. In the Golden Years, life was good and superheroes were always … more

I hate cartoons. Never have liked them. So, I was somewhat hesitant to watch this one because it is just a "grown up" cartoon. Absolulely loved it! It was funny, entertaining, interesting, dramatic, etc. I was totally shocked at the plot, and found myself totally engrossed in what was happening. The characters were fantastic, and the good superhero/bad superhero plot was great. While I don't have kids, I think older kids (maybe 8 and up) will enjoy this. Just the right mix of fun, excitement, but … more

I won't go into reviewing the film itself. Hasn't everyone seen it!! It is terrific, deserved the Oscar and featured particularly high quality voice-work. Craig T. Nelson was a blast, Samuel Jackson was clearly charged up, Holly Hunter shows her funny side, and creator Brad Bird is terrific as Edna. The visuals are typically stunning, groundbreaking work from Pixar. The glossy '50s era sensibilities mixed with modern is just perfect for computer generated films. Pixar, better than anyone, seems … more

Pros: Story, animation, animation, animation. Cons: None The Bottom Line: The true test of a movies appeal is whether or not I would shell out another $6.50 to see it again. Absolutely! Pass the popcorn and M&M’s, plain not peanut. We live in an age of ever expanding possibilities, where quantum leaps in technology are the norm. But at the same time the quintessential human story remains the same: a timeless loop of emotions; … more

Pros: Great animation and premise. Cons: Long, drags in many places. The Bottom Line: Despite some Flaws, Pixar has done it again. Super Heroes hold a special place in our popular culture and have providing countless hours of enjoyment for fans the world over. Children in years past often dreamt about being Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, or Wonder Woman and what they would do if they had super powers. Sadly the facts … more
