Fun, creative, and engaging

Rating: 8/10 (23 June 2018)

The main thing (for me at least) that makes Incredibles 2 such a fun movie to watch is the dialogue between the characters, specifically Bob and Helen. I was a little concerned that the film was going to portray Bob as a stereotypical clumsy father who just can't help messing everything up due to incompetence, that simply isn't the case here. While Bob certainly makes mistakes, you can tell by his actions and his general attitude towards the kids that he is trying his best to make sure that they are happy and are getting the care that they need. When Bob struggled it isn't due to incompetence, but it's because he is dealing with something that any parent would have difficulty handling. Let's face it, any parent would be under a certain amount of pressure if they were dealing with a super powered baby. Helen's end of the story is also really fun to watch along with Bobs. While the villain is highly predictable and the motivations don't seem to make much sense (which is keeping me from giving this movie a perfect score), it was still really enjoyable to watch her deal with certain situations that were jeopardizing her and the Deavors goal of making supers legel again. Some people will call predictable sure, but predictable in my books does not equate to being bad, so long as your movie is enjoyable enough that it can be overlooked. That's something that I can certainly give this film credit for since it does a great job at utilizing each characters unique abilities to create FANTASTIC set pieces and action scenes. Combine that with the 10-10 dialogue, and you have one hell of a good time at the theater.
