Incredibles II (Review)

[WillBrink]

If you enjoyed the first one, you'll enjoy the second one, but it lacks something hard to define. The movie attempts to throw everything but the kitchen sink at you, as well as attempt to cover social topics we don't really need addressed in a Disney/Pixar film, and it just tries to hard. CGI is excellent, but unlike the first movie, does not take advantage of it well. Some good dialogue, but tries way too hard to be socially awares to just be fun...Two, took them so long to do II, those who enjoyed the first one probably college age by now and "too cool" to watch such things. I had high hopes for this one... B-

The first movie was well crafted and the pacing, storytelling, dialogue and character development shows it. The pace of the second movie was just too fast to absorb what was going on. Too many modern movies are like that.

Possible spoiler alert, but I'm trying not to.

Pro: I absolutely loved the portrayal of Jack Jack. It really hits home.

Con: the roster of other superheroes was weak and tedious.

One of the other things I think was it was also kind of predictable- Let's just say it's rather apparent who the villain is going to be fairly early in the movie... And some other elements are also a bit to "easy". It was fun enough to be enjoyable, but it wasn't "interesting".

Jack-jack is still pretty great though.

Enough with the in-depth analysis...

The original one was a top 50 greatest action movies of all time. This one I agree was good, but not as good. I think it suffers from the same issue as Pulp Fiction, Kick-Ass, and Dead Pool; they are so different than what came before them, that they are really hard to top since their original movie becomes a standard. Being faithful to the 1st one and groundbreaking is very difficult to achieve.

The lines about doing the kids math homework hit a little too close to home....

I'm sure there's parts that parents can appreciate and commiserate with. Not being a parent, I can only guess. I was not very good at the old math!
