An "Incredible" triumph in the genre of super hero movies.

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2005)

I am not the biggest computer generated movie fan there is, but I have to hand it to Pixar, they made one of the best movies of 2004 with this hit "The Incredibles". In fact, of all the movies I saw last year the only one I rank ahead of it is another super hero movie "Spider-man 2". Of course, I enjoy super hero flicks so they had that going for them. This movie centers around a super hero forced to live an ordinary life after certain problems arise during a rescue of a person falling from a building and a train accident. The super hero (Mr. Incredible) isn't adjusting to life as an ordinary guy to well. He keeps helping those in need even at the risk of losing money for his company. I found this trait most endearing, because it showed he was not in the biz merely for the glory, but that he truly wants to help people. So much so that he goes out one night a week with his old super hero buddy "Frozone" and they stop some crimes. However, when Mr. Incredible gets an invitation to go to an island and do his super hero thing he leaps at the opportunity. Eventually, this leads to his capture and the rest of the family must come to the rescue. Every aspect of this film was great, I loved that this film was actually rather long as it is one of the rare animated movies that really has a chance to develop a good story. You aren't going to be to surprised by many things, but here you just do not need to be surprised. The voices are all great headlined terrifically by Craig T Nelson and Holly Hunter. Good laughs, good action, and an all around good movie are awaiting you in this little treasure. I especially liked Dash's sprint through the forest. If I had any complaints it might be that I wish Samuel L Jackson's character Frozone was in it a bit more.
