A sequel that was well-worth the wait...

Rating: 9/10 (9 August 2019)

I'll be quick and to-the-point. "The Incredibles" (2004) was simply the best and greatest animated film to come out in 2004. It was a love-labor to superhero lore, as well as a bold-faced SATIRE of superhero lore - done in animated form, by the one American animation studio to top them all off, Pixar. "The Incredibles" was a box office success and critical hit. So the question was, how could writer-director Brad Bird and his team of animators at Pixar follow it up?
We got that answer with 2018's "Incredibles 2." While not as groundbreaking as its predecessor, it grips you from its opening moments and holds your attention for the entire duration of its 118-minute running time. This sequel is bigger, bolder, and more family-centered than the first one; but don't let that fool you, there are still plenty of thunderous action sequences and moments of laugh-out-loud comedy and genuinely heartfelt family times to keep you interested.
Do yourself a favor, and watch one of the most "Incredible" sequels ever made.
