Pretty boring Pixar film

Rating: 5/10 (5 August 2015)

I personally think this is a overrated Pixar movie. The premise could have worked for me, but the direction was just bland and not all that creative. It's like watching a slightly better Saturday morning cartoon movie with a way higher budget. There just didn't seem to be any good emotional depth to this movie. The whole movie is about a family with super powers dealing with family issues while fighting the bad guys. Yeah, most super hero movies is about the hero fighting agains the bad guys, but in this the whole thing felt generic. I remember first watching this in theaters and not getting much out of it. I was actually more bored than entertained. The 3D animation was pretty good when it came out, it's developed by Pixar after all. But besides the good animation when this movie came out, that just seems like it's all that is going for this movie. It's not a bad movie, it's actually worth a watch in my opinion. But I just wasn't highly invested like I am with other Pixar films. Overall, this is a bland animated superheroes movie with some well animated action scenes. However all the creativity just went to the action scenes.
5.5/10
