Excellent Hero Film

Rating: 8/10 (12 January 2019)

Why are people constantly saying it's too politically correct? It's like you can't have a female lead without being called too feminist now a days. Elastigirl was chosen for the missions because unlike Mr. Incredible, she doesn't create millions of dollars worth of damage when she saves people. It wasn't simply because she's a girl. I know SJW content is constantly in today's movies (like the latest Star Wars films). It's annoyingly common but definitely isn't in this movie. Everyone calm down.
Overall this movie was done incredibly well with the same amount of enjoyability as the first one. However why it took so long to come out is pretty ridiculous. The plot is literally exactly the same as the first one.
SPOILERS AHEAD
The film opens with the Incredibles performing heroic acts and getting chastised when something goes wrong. Obviously they still want back in the game finding everyday life not suitable and are contacted by a somewhat mysterious organization that focuses on promoting one character (Mr Incredible in the original, Elastigirl in the sequel). The assignment is take down a staged villain (The Robot in The Incredibles and ScreenSlaver in The Incredibles 2) while the real villains turn out to be the ones behind the organization. The villain is incredibly tech smart and has a backstory where a super didn't meet their expectations and therefore become their enemy. To take down this enemy the focus hero decides they can't take the villain alone and teams up with those they left out of the hero work during the first half of the movie. Yeah it's the exact same story.
I praise this movie because it's written well and very enjoyable. The characters are just as intriguing and the plot is perfect for the adults who watched the original. Pretty much every Marvel movie has the same plot so I'm not going to throw a fit over this. Watch the movie if you get the chance. Also possibly the most important thing I must add... Elastigirl is thicc af
