How the mighty have fallen...

Rating: 1/10 (30 December 2018)

Let's be honest with ourselves - Incredibles 1 is the only movie where the "the world is afraid of superheroes so they need government supervision" plot trope worked. In everything else it's just boring and tedious (Civil War, Batman v. Superman, etc.). So what's the logical choice for the plot of this movie? Revisit that trope for what feels like the one millionth time.
It starts out promising, but the plot is one of the most boring and cliche I've seen in a superhero movie in a long time. Elastigirl is the only character who gets anything to do, meanwhile all Mr. Incredible gets to do prior to the third act is stay at home taking care of the kids. They play with this subplot of Violet having a crush on this one boy from school (can't remember his name), but they barely make anything out of it. And to top all of this ugliness off, the film copies the "villain twist" from Iron Man 3 with this lame throwaway character called Screenslaver who is only in the film for about 50 seconds. Meanwhile, the real villain is incredibly cliched and forgettable.
All around a total fail and letdown of a sequel. Boring, cliche, and nothing we haven't seen before. I'm surprised it got the amount of positive reception that it did. Thor: The Dark World, Iron Man 2 and 3, Age of Ultron, and Ant-Man and the Wasp are honestly better superhero movies than this.
The only reason I rate this a 1/10 is to bring the general user consensus down to a more reasonable score. Normally I would rate this about a 5/10 or a 5.5/10 if I'm generous.
