"Metroville was once flooded with superheroes saving the day. One of the greatest was Mr. Incredible, who found himself annoyed by the young chatterbox fanatic of his, Buddy Pine, who referred to himself as 'Incrediboy.' As Mr. Incredible fought crime, he met another legendary hero, Elastigirl and the two superheroes wed. shortly afterwards, a string of lawsuits banned superheroes from ever saving the day again! 15 years later, Mr. Incredible, now known as Bob Parr is itching to become a superhero again. Mrs. Incredible, or Helen Parr, is trying to persuade him not to. Their son, Dash, who has the ability to run extremely quickly, wants to try out for sports, but he can't because of his powers being revealed. Violet, the Parr's daughter, wants to be normal and fit in as a teen. And the baby, Jack-Jack is only itching for a good time. Then, Bob hears about a top secret assignment regarding a powerful machine attacking Nomanisan Island. Thinking this is his way to become a superhero again, Bob accepts and yet again becomes Mr. Incredible...however, this anonymous villain has a grudge..." Waited two years to see it, finally borrowed the Special Edition DVD from my cousins, got me Popcorn and Munchies, got me drinks, and sat down to watch it. 52 INCH SCREEN TV, huge sofa, lights off, home-made cinema, sound turned up high, and pressed play.
IT WAS S***, I was so disappointed it was unreal. I was 30 minutes in and was already checking the time, willing it to end, it was just dragging.
The problem is, i feel it could been so much better for me, but i just found it boring. And i loved Finding Nemo and Toy Story and that, so it wasn't the genre, just the movie. It was just bad, i felt. The story was interesting, the characters was interesting, Mr. Incredible seemed good, Elastigirl was very believable, The kids were actually acceptable and not grating as usual. Freezo was very cool, the few good spark for me, Samuel L. Jackson always seems to do well. Syndrome was a very believable bad guy, felt he had a good background and wasn't just the average super-villain but a kid who felt wronged, lost his Childhood Superhero and searched for an answer. Unfortunately it included murder, death and destruction. It had all this, how could it not be a classic. Unfortunately, it just didn't seem to connect and would just plod from certain scene to scene. There were some great scenes with great potential but it just didn't seem to hit the buttons, and that just leaves me very disappointed. Oh well, can always dream of what could have been.
