A big step down from the first film, but still good---except for one unfathomable giveaway.

Rating: 6/10 (2 July 2019)

Thoroughly enjoyable, with (no surprise) astonishing animation, including a few sequences that manage to surpass the original. The increased focus on the Parr family's dynamics is handled with humour and restraint, and works far better than I'd feared. Jack-Jack is a complete delight, as of course is Edna Mode; and Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter and Samuel L. Jackson manage to bring even more nuance to their characters---which were pretty damn good the first time round.
But. . . . The plot, compared with Incredibles #1, seemed sprawling. Not ridiculously complex, but it lacked the original's laser intensity and clarity. Still, my main disappointment came early on, when we are told who the villain is, before any hint that there even IS a mastermind villain. We're introduced to Evelyn Deavor, and it takes about a quarter of a second to translate that into "Evil Endeavor." That reveals most of the subsequent plot, and the end of any suspense.
I'll be watching the first "Incredibles" movie again, certainly, but not this one. And I hope there won't be a third.
