Mostly Incredible

Rating: 6/10 (5 July 2018)

After 14 long years we finally have a sequel to The Incredibles, a film adored by people all over the world. Brad Bird returns as director and the film picks up right where the original ended.
Incredibles 2 is easily one of the best movie going experiences I've had this year. The film has everything we loved about the last one from lovable characters, interesting themes and great action. Although the plot is somewhat similar to the last one but with a few changes, the movie is still a blast from start to finish.
I felt quite nostalgic watching the same characters that I fell in love with when I was much younger. This film focuses more on Elastigirl instead of Mr. Incredible so in a way we're getting the same movie only a bit different.
The action sequences were well choreographed and the stakes were kept mostly personal which was a good decision and that is exactly what Brad Bird does well. The score is grand and exciting which made the action more exhilarating.
Elastigirl played once again by Holly Hunter is fantastic and the film showcased her powers in several clever ways. Craig T. Nelson as Mr. Incredible and Samuel L. Jackson as frozone are equally excellent. Jack Jack the youngest child who was barely in the last movie steals the show by being extremely cute. Violet ended up being one of my favorites in this movie which was unexpected which resulted in Dash being a bit in the background having not much to do.
By far the biggest problem with the film is its predictable story. If you've seen the movie you probably know what I'm talking about. The movie is entertaining, funny and a worthy sequel but it's not without its flaws. Overall it's a great time for the entire family.
