Watch the first one

Rating: 4/10 (22 February 2020)

--Skip to Section 4 for my final opinion--
This movie, in my opinion, is just a cash grab banking in on the Incredibles' name. It's a bit like all the new Disney live action remakes, just there to make money off of our nostalgia. I watched this film in cinema when it came out, it was a waste of my money.
The first film is a classic, an example of family entertainment done right. This film, however, pales in comparison to it's predecessor. Now I've been quite vague during this review, so SPOILER WARNING:
1. Villain is terribly written.
The villain in this film, Screenslaver (real name Evelyn Deavor), is TERRIBLE. Compared to Syndrome (the villain of Incredibles 1), who had a legitimate reason to hate superheroes and (more specifically) Mr. Incredible, it took me a while to figure out what the hell Screenslaver's motives were. A VILLAIN'S MOTIVES SHOULD BE CLEAR AND MAKE SENSE FOR THEIR SITUATION.
Screenslaver's motives are that her father was killed by a robber and the superheroes, who had been OUTLAWED, and couldn't save him. That makes NO SENSE, either her father was a complete moron or the writers couldn't think of an original motive.
2. The plot is... bad.
This film has one of the most predictable and terribly written plots I have seen in recent films and I've watched the Secret Life of Pets. It's just the hero's journey with a bit of a super twist.
Unlike the first film, which had nuance, humour, action and emotion all in one film, I felt NOTHING whilst watching the sequel. A GOOD FILM MAKES YOU FEEL.
3. The positives.
The graphics are amazing, as expected from Disney-Pixar in 2018, and there was an hilarious sub-plot with Jack-Jack developing his powers, it had me and a lot of other people in my local cinema laughing.
Do the positives outweigh the negatives? I don't think so.
4. Final words.
Just watch the first one, the second one is sub-par, barely entertaining enough for a baby film. Skip this film, watch the other Pixar classics.
