Worth the 14 year wait!!!

Rating: 9/10 (2 July 2018)

After 14 long years, Incredibles 2 has finally arrived! I was excited and nervous headed into this film because I had this feeling in the back of my head that the hype would be better than the film itself. I'm happy to report that Incredibles 2 is a worthy follow-up to it's predecessor. The characters are just as entertaining and engaging to watch as they were in the original. I rather enjoy the new character dynamics given to us thanks to the role reversal of Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl as Mr. Incredible stays home to take care of the kids while Elastigirl takes the forefront of most of the action sequences. Speaking of the action sequences, they are fantastic to watch. From the train chase to the helicopter rescue, I believe that the action is an improvement over the original overall. The animation as always looks outstanding, it's crazy to believe that the animators were able to create such a great looking film with so much detail. From the clothes, to the hair, to the action, I give the animators so much credit for doing such a great job. However, the film isn't perfect. While the story is well executed as a whole, it takes many familiar beats from the original. Also, the villain, the Screenslaver feels like a downgrade from Syndrome. While Screenslaver isn't a terrible villain as I do like the motivation of the Screenslaver, the execution could've been done better. Also, the true identity of the Screenslaver can be seen coming from a mile away if you pay attention. Overall, Incredibles 2 is still a great film with outstanding animation, exciting action sequences, and the same memorable characters we know and love. I highly recommend you see Incredibles 2 in theaters as soon as you can.
