Don't believe the hype...

Let me start by saying that the Incredibles (2007) was one of my all time favorite animations, which is why i was so confused about a sequel 14 years after the first one. But given the fact that i really liked the first one, there was no way in which i wouldn't go and watch this one.
I wasn't expecting much to be totally honest, because i have come to realize that sequels many years in the making often doesn't make a good watch, and i was right, i didn't see anything worthwhile. It's not to say the movie was bad, it was entertaining for the most parts, but it was an unnessecary sequel that had many flaws and weren't worth the wait....that is....if someone was actually waiting for it.
The opening scene of the movie was very over the top, it threw me off completely, as it was loud and exhausting to watch...but after that, the pace slew down a bit and i was able to enjoy most of it.
The plot weren't that special too, i was able to see the outcome from a mile away.....surprise surprise, the overly good people are the actual villains.
One thing that struck me the most is that the movie lacked the charm it had in the first one, although the characters looked amazing, the special effects are better and the voice acting is really good, it just didn't feel as charming and as endearing as the first one, maybe it wasn't the movie's fault really, i think that's a natural outcome if you're going to make a sequel 14 years later is that people's mind have developed in such a way that what you did to leave a good impression on them 14 years ago wouldn't work now....specially with all those really good movies coming out in all those years....my point is that, if you're going to make a sequel that many years later, you have to bring something new to the table and not just special effects and loud scenes.
Overall, the movie was entertaining in the most parts and i would suggest that you go out and see it if you liked the first one, but don't expect it to better than the original and don't believe the hype. it's just an entertaining movie, you shouldn't expect more than that because nothing is worth 14 years of waiting.
