If you don't like this movie you should stop seeing movies

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2004)

Certainly, if the only thing you are looking for is another laugh-a-minute masterpiece from Pixar, then you might be disappointed. But this movie has an elegance, inspiration, and contemplative quality that add up to real beauty. I appreciate the Pixar folks not just trying to repeat their formula in a different setting, but doing something more subtle and exploring a new idea--- here, the horror of being forced into submission by a mediocre society. Maybe I just relate. The family together are a poignant and deeply familiar picture of love and struggle, as well as a truly interesting and exciting super-hero team. If you think that top-grade animation, compelling story, humor, soul, and a hat full of thrills is not enough to make a movie great, then this movie will disappoint (and so will every other.) I think The Incredibles is gorgeous, inspired, subtle, and worth opening your heart to.
