The Incredibles - Movie Review

Rating: 9/10 (1 May 2020)

I have mentioned in some of my other Pixar reviews about memories which I have of watching them constantly as a child, but The Incredibles might be the most nostalgic film of all time for me. I was eight when it came out, and it's one of the first films I clearly remember seeing in the cinema. I also really loved the PlayStation 2 game for The Incredibles.
Whilst The Incredibles doesn't quite hit me on the same level as some of Pixar's other films, like Finding Nemo or Toy Story 3, and it lacks the emotional punch which those films carried, it contains such a fun narrative and it's always a complete blast to watch.
Pixar always manage to create three-dimensional and fleshed-out characters, and that's no different in The Incredibles. It contains relatable themes which will hit adults much harder than it will for the children, but they wrap them in such a delightful adventure that it's fun for the whole family to watch.
Despite the fact that this is an animated film, Syndrome is one of the best villains we have ever seen in a superhero film. The writing and direction are impeccable, and I have no idea why they waited fourteen years to release a sequel.
Overall, The Incredibles isn't my favourite Pixar film, but it's always extremely fun to sit down and watch, and it contains such a fun take on the superhero genre which is so popular in today's environment.
