Incredibly entertaining but suffering somewhat from an "all over" synopsis

Rating: 7/10 (12 March 2020)

The wait is finally over, everybody's favorite superhero family (The Fantastic Four aren't related by blood) is back. And it's been a wait. Similarly to "Finding Dory", a whole generation has anticipated "Incredibles 2". So how was it? First of all, I think the script is extremely well-written and I must highlight the way director Brad Bird approached the conflicts within the Parr family. For an animated film, the character arcs are polished to almost perfect, and throughout the film, we get to follow each family member's individual emotional journey. All of that being said, I think the plot of the film itself was somewhat uninteresting. The main reason behind my opinion is that it is somewhat unfocused; of course you could combine Mr. Incredible's stay-at-home dad storyline with the main plot featuring Elastigirl and the conspiracies at Devtech, but "Incredibles 2" easily comes out of phase, leaving its speedy, action atmosphere suffering. However, let's not forget that it is an entertaining film, animated to perfection. And it is incredibly nice (yes I chose that word on purpose) to see these old favorites back on the big screen. While "Incredibles 2" might no be the biggest Pixar hit to date - partly due to its length - it is a joyful, vibrant, action packed film to watch.
