A truly Incredible flick!

Rating: 8/10 (17 June 2018)

I went to see Incredibles 2 last night, I thought it was a fun and exhilarating movie for adults that grew up with the original and kids that are new to the franchise. It improved on a lot from the original but also felt a little more lackluster in some aspects. The fight scenes seemed a lot more grand than the first film, and the animation was the best that I have ever seen from Pixar. There was one scene in particular where I could've sworn one of the characters was Live Action! The environments are much more lively as opposed to the island from the first film. The problems I had with the film however are a little more precise. I'm sure everyone has mentioned the flashing lights and epileptic unfriendly scenes. I myself have no issue with scenes like this, but I can clearly see how this would affect someone. It makes you wonder how the MPAA would allow this to pass? Did PokÃ©mon teach us nothing about flashing lights in animation? Another issue I had was that the twist of who the villain was was a little too obvious. I understand they wanted to make it a mystery, but I'd rather have a villain like Syndrome from the first film that was more on the frontlines rather than causing havoc from the shadows. I did like how they showed off other types of heroes with other superpowers, but I feel like they didn't get any screen time. In the end I think was a great movie. Just a little less great than first though. If they ever make an Incredibles 3, I hope they fix all of the issues I had with both of these. And I hope we won't have to wait another 14 years.
