Smart, fun, clever, exiting and atmospheric

Rating: 9/10 (3 April 2009)

I've heard a lot of positive things about the Incredibles and surprisingly enough, the movie really is worth of the praises it got.
After a man, who didn't want to be saved gets saved by an superhero Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson), a string of costly lawsuits is filled against the damage caused by the masked vigilantes. This leads into banning of superheroes, who are forced to retreat into normal living, hiding their powers from the people.
After 15 years of silence and a family, that is formed of Elastigirl / Helen Parr (Holly Hunter), daughter Violet (Sarah Vowell) and two sons, baby Jack Jack and Dash (Spencer Fox), Mr. Incredible /Bob Parr gets an offer an old hero can't refuse. This gets him involved in an evil scheme of Syndrome (Jason Lee), who want's to even the field between regulars and supers. On a bit smaller role is Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson), an old ally and a friend of Mr. Incredible.
The Incredibles is funny right from the start and very well written. The story flows with an ease and the action scenes are exiting and well made. The animation is top notch and this all is nicely finished with a swinging soundtrack.
In all I have nothing bad to say about the film, it certainly is amongst the best CGI animations made.
