The Incredibles left me in a foul mood.

Rating: 4/10 (20 January 2005)

The Incredibles left me in a foul mood. I am a big Disney fan but this particular animated feature disappointed me at every department. I) The plot is very simple, predictable and, thus, completely unexcited. II) No humor. I mean it. I did not laugh, even once (OK it is very personal remark since senses of humor differ, you might have found it to be hysterically funny) III) The characters are primitive, not captivating.. I found nothing interesting about Bob, Helen and their kids. IV) Yes, lots and lots of special effects. But there is nothing behind them. The producers seem to have forgotten it is the characters, the story that can make people love the movie, not pyrotechnics. The fact that this film became one of the season's biggest grosser can be explained by it having been made for and seen by elementary school kids.
