The Incredibles (2004)
Disney  Theatre  D: Brad Bird  3/4
Truth be known there is only one reason I went to see the new Pixar flick and that is simply the Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith trailer. Well the trailer hit all the cords it should have and hopefully Lucas may just not be washed up as a filmmaker. But May 19th is still a ways off; I better secure my tome off now. Anywho back to the feature, Incredibles is a clever take on the superhero tale. Mr. Incredible is your typical superpowered do-good-er that is until an overzealous fan helps to bring him down and all the heroes must stop using their powers and get day jobs. The film looks awesome as the Pixar films always do. But as we know graphics and effects only go so far. The clever plot hits a snag every now and then but nothing major. A lot of action with an occasional slowdown, The Incredibles will be a hit with the kids and adults alike.
