Incredibles 2 doesn't quite live up to it's predecessor, but it's still a good time.

Rating: 7/10 (16 June 2018)

Finally after the 14 year wait, Incredibles 2 is here. So was it worth the wait? Yeah kinda.
[Yes I am going to get very critical with this movie even though it is technically a children's animated movie
Firstly, the most fine tuned aspect of this movie are the visual. The camera movement, lighting, animation etc. are all absolutely phenomenal. Only complaints are that some of the new superheroes have some odd character designs and some of the models are not always consistent with the previous Incredibles style. The complaints here are minor.
The weakest part of the movie to me was its story. I found it to be predictable and almost nonsensical at times. The villain is extremely weak and does not hold a very well thought out motivation. The "twist" in this movie is highly predictable (at least if you are over the age of 7 or 8.) The stronger parts of the story are the ones with Bob taking care of the family. Elastagirl's adventures are interesting and exciting enough to move forward the plot, but I can't help but think that it all could've been more captivating. Syndrome from the first Incredibles was such a great villain with a very direct motivation and reasoning for why his character felt the way he did. I did not get this with Incredibles 2. I definitely can't say that I was ever bored. There was always something entertaining enough with the cast of characters occurring on screen to where I was enjoying it. The humor was pretty good, there were a few parts here and there were it started to get very ridiculous but overall it was very fun and some parts had me and my friends giggling pretty loud.
That being said though, I would not consider the writing in Incredibles 2 to be nearly as good as the first. There were many pieces of dialogue that just felt ham-fisted (mostly involving Elastagirl's side of the plot.) The best bits of humor and writing come from Bob hopelessly trying to be an active father. Not saying its bad writing, but it definitely could've been better.
This movie had a lot to live up to, and for the most part it does an adequate job. It's not amazing but it is still an overall great time and can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. I think it would also be safe to say that
