Phenomenal

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 2018)

Incredibles 2 is my favorite movie of the year so far. It is such an enjoyable movie to watch. The action sequences are amazing and the characters are fun and relatable. I love the setting of the picture. The 1960s is one of my favorite decade, and this movie captures the look of that decade so well. I love the look of the cars and mid-century modernism architecture. The score is also perfect. Michael Giacchino composed another score that perfectly captures the feel of the movie. I love the jazzy vibe it has along with its strong brass instrument sounds. It is also refreshing to get a story about super heroes that shows them as normal people with problems to deal with like any normal family would have. For instance, Violet is having trouble with a boy at school, Dash has trouble with his homework, and Mr. Incredible is struggling to take care of the kids. Just because they are super does not mean they are without their problems and are perfect. I love how I can relate to the problems that the characters are having on-screen, such as not being able to figure out a new math lesson. It is also very nice to get a story from the perspective of another Parr family member, Helen Parr a.k.a. Elastigirl. Elastigirl takes center stage in this movie, but Mr. Incredible, Dash, Violet, and Jack-Jack are just as important in this film as they were in the previous one. Most people find that Screensaver was not a strong enough villian. While I feel that the Screenslaver was not as strong as Syndrome, Screenslaver felt strong enough for me as the main villian of this film. All in all, I prefer the original just a touch more, but this movie is well worth the 14 year wait us fans had to go though. Incredibles 2 deserves a well earned 10/10 stars from me because of the strong, lovable, and relatable characters, fresh story, great atmosphere, jazzy score, and fantastic action sequences. In my opinion, it is a near flawless film and my favorite film of the year so far.
