An extremely fun and fascinating watch

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2018)

This movie is so great in terms of all the basis a movie needs to be great. Fantastic animation as expected, great voice acting, a compelling and smart story, heartwarming messages, and necessary character development. The most surprising out of these for me was definitely the compelling story. Although the story for the first Incredibles movie was noticeably dark, this movie seemed to double down on that factor, and it only benefited from it. The villain, when revealed, is extremely believable in their motives and reasoning for their evil actions. I honestly expected there to be an abundance of pandering children's jokes in this movie, but I should have known that as with the first Incredibles movie, there was a very minimal amount of this. The humor was very smart for the most part and quite literally the only issue I had with the movie was that some of the jokes and gags the movie tried to pull off just didn't work for me. I was able to mostly forgive the movie for this though, because these scenes were very few and spread out. I commend the director for working on this movie until he felt that it was as good as the original movie if not better, and I personally would say it is even better than the first. More than anything, this movie is extremely thrilling (which I didn't expect), heartwarming, compelling in terms of story, and just overall a fantastic Summer movie and a family movie. The action scenes in this movie were also filmed extremely well in my opinion and deserve to be recognized for it. This was a great movie and I highly recommend to see it on the biggest screen you can find.
