Did I watch The Incredibles AGAIN?

Rating: 3/10 (28 June 2018)

Let's get straight to the point. I don't need to write SPOILERS here, simply because Incredibles 2 is exactly like its predecessor - The Incredibles.
The Incredibles is still my favorite film. But with so much of anticipation and expectation, watching the second edition made me feel just that, "I was watching The Incredibles again!"
The Incredibles starts off after Mr. Incredible wrecks the city. Same thing in II. The family has to go under hinding. Same thing in II. Someone has to take up being a superhero again. Same thing in II. One parent is caught up with parenting. Same thing in II. The fan becomes the superhero. Same thing in II. Parents get into trouble. Same thing in II. Children save the day. Same thing in II. Bigger eminent threats arrive and everyone joins hand to become the Incredibles. Same thing in II. The villain is destroyed by his own stupidity. Same thing in II. The daughter finally gets the guy. Same thing in II.
Director / Writer Brad Bird took a genius step over a span of more than a decade to come up with a story that could well become the second part. He Xerox'ed the first film, hoping that young minds would not realize. But what he did not expect is that there are REAL Incredibles fans out there, and they do remember every scene, every dialogue of the film. Wrong move, Mr. Bird.
And yes, the action sequences are way less in this IInd version. One more star taken away just for considering the fans dumb.
