One of my favs, but not a little kids movie!

Rating: 9/10 (13 November 2010)

Pixar did it again! The Incredibles taken primarily as a stretching out on the superhero genre, is first rate entertainment. It also is a very witty commentary on family life. And it is fun fun fun! It seems superfluous to say how good the technical side of Pixar films are, because they all are great! They plan out every detail and edit the scenes together practically flawlessly. Incredibles is no exception. And they keep abreast of inside jokes and pop culture references without sacrificing the story and characters. All technical and story elements are at the disposal of the characters and not the other way around. That is the way to make touching movie experiences!
I grew up loving the superhero/James Bond genre, so this film has plenty of fun with that. "Monolog-ing" for example. But the Incredibles goes deeper by centering the film around the Parr family's relationships - especially between Bob and Ellen. This anchors the film in the audience's heart.
The Incredibles is very violent (especially near the end) and so would be too intense for little kids. But it is a great film from Pixar, the king of computer animation.
