incredibly entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 2005)

Let me start by saying that animation movies are not my genre. Shrek or Nemo movies seem to childish to me to spend one and a half hour of my time on Earth, yes I am aware that I may miss something, I was told it. I was however intrigued by the success of the 'Incredibles', rented the DVD and I am not sorry. It's pure entertainment, no pretensions, but still as good entertainment as many of the comics-inspired films I saw lately. Of course the imagination and creativity of the animators is key in such movies. Computer enhanced techniques help tremendously in creating a few characters that are better than similar cast in actor movies. The action is however somehow childish and with a better written story this film could have crossed the threshold into being good cinema, but still it's amusement of better quality than many other films lately. 8 out of 10 on my personal scale.
