Wonderful, fun, smart family entertainment

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2012)

While not quite up with the greatest of the Pixar films (Up, Wall-e, Nemo, etc.) This is still smart, inventive and tremendous fun, with some humanity thrown in to boot.
For my money, more entertaining than any of the James Bond or superhero films of recent vintage which it spoofs (and with more exciting action besides!).
In an alternate universe, Superheroes are told to stop being, well, super, because of the risk of law suits and other problems. But some just can't get the urge to fight crime out of their blood. Like Mr. Incredible. He loves being a family man (a family who also all have super powers) but a 9-5 job in an ugly, greedy corporate world is more than he can take. So he quietly slips back into the super-hero biz, and eventually drags the whole family in as well.
All done with terrific animation, clever wordplay, great voice acting, and a nice comment or two about the traps of trying to be 'normal'. It gets all the balances right; humor to action to character to story.
