***There might be spoilers. You've been warned.***
I saw this movie as part of my Netflix subscription, so no compensation to me of any kind.
With the disclaimer out of the way... I recently watched The Incredibles 2. I'm not sure why it took Pixar so long to make the sequel, but they finally got around to it.
If you've seen the first movie, you have a general idea what this one is about. A couple of superheroes get married and have kids with superpowers, but superheroes are outlawed and they're forced to be normal. Whatever normal is. :-) You know all this from the original film. In this movie, a billionaire approaches the Incredible family and wants to have Elasti-girl help get superheroes legalized again. Mr. Incredible is forced to be Mr. Mom which is mostly okay with his older two kids, but baby Jack Jack is coming into his powers and can't control them.
I'm not a diehard fan of The Incredibles, but I did enjoy the first film enough to want to see the second one. I kind of felt the same way at the end of The Incredibles 2. I liked it. It was good. I might watch it again in a few years if there's nothing better to do.
There was nothing I can really complain about with the film. The villain was fairly predictable, but this movie's audience includes kids so I usually don't subtract points for things like this. Other than that? I thought it was fine.
I loved that Elasti-girl was the one who got to do the superhero work while her husband played Mr. Mom. They didn't even play that up for too much humor because Mr. Incredible wasn't an incompetent father. His biggest problem was lack of sleep. Baby Jack Jack apparently has insomnia. His other big problem was the baby has incredible (no pun intended) super powers and can't control them.
The other scene I really liked was when Mr. Incredible left Jack Jack with the costume designer. She didn't seem like she could handle a baby, but she did it with seeming effortlessness and she designed a costume for Jack Jack that could help with his super powers. I would have liked more of her!
Overall, I enjoyed this and would recommend it as a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.
4 stars.
