It's possible Russians have raided IMDB

Rating: 9/10 (20 July 2018)

Just a small commentary on the hilarity that is IMDb these days. There is an outcry of anti-Disney sentiment and a lot of garbage reviews.
"It's the Incredibles again!!" "It's the same plot!" "Disney just did the same thing again!"
It's the Incredibles. A super hero movie by Disney and Pixar. It is also a sequel. What did the Russian bots expect? Super Bambi?
Bird said he didn't want to do Incredibles 2 unless there was a good script behind it. Was the script out of this world ludicrously good? Not necessarily.
Incredibles 2 retains the same jazzy 60s style of comic book presentation that caught my eye 14 years ago. Taking off from the ending of the original the super family once again finds itself out of sorts.
In a great action sequence it becomes clear that being super doesn't solve all your problems, worse still having powers can inflict tons of financial and monetary damage.
While the stage is set to present once again super power people as a threat and they need to go into hiding the film suddenly takes a slight deviation. Perception. Marketing. Selling.
Interestingly it becomes the subtext to the entire film. Peoples perceptions on a large scale, and small scale alter the truth.
While some rile on radical feminism ruining movies, I loved the constant play between father, daughter, babysitter, hero, mother, and son that went on. Which role is more important? Who is suited for what role? Why a women here? Oh wait can't be stereotypical there.. but nevermind they are stereotypical and it works!
Regardless the plot is simple, the screenplay is what you'd expect for an Incredibles sequel and that's not bad. Because I went in for good animation and plenty of good moments and Incredibles 2 served that up in spades.
First of all. The animation and surround sound work. Wow. Just wow. Top notch.
As for moments there were plenty of laughs and some quick unexpected tender moments. Along with memorable action sequences and some dull whatever ones (no movie is perfect).
Incredibles 2 accomplishes what it should have accomplished elevate the successes of its original, while maintaining true to its theme, style, and characters. And it was a success in my eyes.
