Too Unbalanced

Rating: 4/10 (3 January 2020)

The Incredibles 1 is my favorite animated movie since the 1990s (when I was a kid), and the only one that I ever purchased. For a long time I was really looking forward to the sequel. But I was disappointed with it.
The biggest problem is that too much time is spent with Helen doing all the hero work while Bob stays home doing nothing besides trying to take care of the kids. This isn't a bad story line, but it goes on for much too long. Bob eventually gets involved, but there's not a lot of times when he gets to use his super strength. There's not a lot of times when Dash gets to use his super speed either. I also thought it was annoying how rude Violet acts. I also didn't like it that Jack Jack has a whole bunch of powers and constantly causes problems. I can see why lots of people would like this, but I liked it much better when he wasn't around. Furthermore, his numerous powers make the lead characters seem a lot less special. The presence of numerous new super heroes further adds to this.
It's not a bad movie, I did enjoy some of it, but it's just too unbalanced, I thought it felt sort of like a really long version of one of those minor sequels (like "Jack Jack Attack", "Frozen Fever" etc.). "Incredibles 1" had a lot more of a plot to it and was overall a much better movie.
