Brilliant

Rating: 9/10 (29 November 2004)

Like many others, I get tired of those who bash an excellent film or critique stupid points. Holly Hunter takes too long to 'lose herself in her character'? - What an idiot.
I purposely went to see this when it opened and I hadn't heard much about it. It is now my favorite Pixar film. I lost myself in this film and when it was over, I wanted even more. The characters were brilliant and the action was riveting.
I tell many of my friends how I think the Dreamworks films are way over-rated, and this drives my point home even further. While Shrek is aping the Macarena or some lame rap song, The Incredibles are making a classic. The jokes/humor in The Incredibles will still be funny in 5, 10, 20 years, while kids and adults both will be wondering what was ever funny about Shrek.
Sure, some of the humor in The Incredibles may be over your children's heads and the action may be a bit too intense - but it is rated PG, use your head.
I went without my kids.
Animated feature for adults made by adults. It has too many points of comic book culture to be for kids.
