"That's Incredible!"

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2004)

Prior to seeing "The Incredibles", I had not been to the movies in two years, and I have never seen a movie in the theaters by myself. But, when I decided to see "The Incredibles" the night before Thanksgiving 2004, needless to say, I made a great choice.
In fact, "The Incredibles" had piqued my interest long before it hit the theaters; I have had a slight interest in superheroes since I was about five or six years old. Surely, I would vaguely be taken in a way by a film about a superhero, but a family of superheroes? Now, THAT sounds like something I shouldn't miss! And I didn't miss out; I went, and was impressed with the results. It consists of almost every genre known to the movies: a lot of action, adventure and drama, a little bit of comedy and horror, a good deal of sci-fi and suspense, a killer music score, and even a little "dash" of romance. Great voice work featuring the talents of Craig T. Nelson (TV's "Coach"), Holly Hunter ("Raising Arizona"), Samuel L. Jackson ("Pulp Fiction") and Jason Lee (the View Askew films and later of TV's "My Name is Earl") among others, as well as the storyline, the direction of animation veteran Brad Bird, and, of course, the slick and stylish computer animation that looks and appears so real, and the quality of it that just says Pixar.
As for what happens in the film itself...well, I can't tell you. You'll have to see it for yourself. And just remember this piece of advice: If it's from Pixar, it's gotta be good. And "The Incredibles" is absolutely no exception. If this comment was helpful along with the reviews, and if you see the film for yourself, you will end up saying, "That's incredible!"
