Movie Review: Incredibles 2

Rating: 9/10 (6 April 2019)

After a 14 year wait Brad Bird showcases everything that makes him a master of animation by throwing us back into the wonderfully creative world of everyone favourite super family. Naturally there have been comparisons made to the 2004 original and I have to agree that the first movie is definitely the better of the two. However that does not mean that this is not an absurdly entertaining and well executed movie.
Bird leans into the Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic even more for this film than last time and his attitude of writing and directing action scenes as if it were for a high budget live-action film makes for some pulse racing moments serving as a good reminder for why Ghost Protical is the best Mission Impossible! There are also some really funny moments (a stand out scene comes to mind involving a raccoon) and all of the characters feel as relatable and fully realised as they did in 2004
.My one issue is that the villain subplot in 3rd act reveal are pretty weak, this is why I think people are so quick to compare the two films. This is a minor compliant as it doesn't distract from the overall quality of the film.
Incredibles 2 was well worth the wait and may even be the best pixar sequel in my humble opinion (and no I haven't forgotten about Toy Story 3).
