Where's my supersuit?

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2004)

Interesting how being a hero is not so super and that doesn't just pertain to those select few who decide to wiggle into a tight spandex suit and fight for truth and justice. However, in this film, being a superhero has been for naught, thanks to litigation entered by the very people whose lives they have saved. Now these crusaders must retire the masks and lead "normal" lives as, say, an insurance agent; however, even as the days turn into weeks, then months, and finally years, the longing for the past eats at them from the inside, especially Mr. Incredible, our title character. So what sort of outlet eases those tensions? Well, for that answer, you'll just have to see the film.
Pixar takes a step in a new direction; as it's first full-length feature film not to be rated G, there are several instances of suggested violent death sequences that take place off-camera, so it's still safe to take your little one even if you might have some explaining to do later. There's also been a little more injection of subtle adult humor that should fly high above those adolescent heads. The plot is a little choppy, but it's a well-presented, albeit predictable, story and, of course, the high-tech animation continues to appease the audience. In short, it's what you would expect from Pixar and should not disappoint fans of the studio's past work.
