The Incredibles is nothing short of incredible. Even though it's animated, it's one of the greatest superhero movies of all time, and it's one of my favorite movies of all time, AND it's my favorite animated movie of all time! Jeez, this movie is a record-breaker when it comes to being among the best of its kind. And the movie CERTAINLY reflects that.
What's the story? In this lauded Pixar animated film, married superheroes Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl are forced to assume mundane lives as Bob and Helen Parr after all super-powered activities have been banned by the government. While Mr. Incredible loves his wife and kids, he longs to return to a life of adventure, and he gets a chance when summoned to an island to battle an out-of-control robot. Soon, Mr. Incredible is in trouble, and it's up to his family to save him.
No good superhero movie is without its action, and this movie definitely doesn't disappoint. The action scenes in this movie are phenomenal, especially the final battle where the Parr family have to destroy Syndrome's mega Omnidroid. Also, the animation, while looking a bit dated by today's standards, looked amazing for its time, and today it still looks very solid. Also, the performances are great. Craig T. Nelson does a great job at playing Mr. Incredible/Bob Parr, and you can tell Mr. Incredible's feelings with his voice, something all movies should do but unfortunately don't always succeed. This film, however, definitely succeeds in that category. Holly Hunter is also very good at playing Elastigirl/Helen Parr, even if she sounds like she's wearing braces. The characters are likable and very identifiable to a lot of families with major issues, and it is very realistic to those. Also, I like how the film focuses more on the family and not the action. It's a great twist on the superhero genre I think a lot of superhero films should use, especially ones like Ant-Man and Spider-Man, which do focus on the main hero's family, but not like this.
In conclusion, The Incredibles is an incredible movie under the genius mind of Brad Bird, who also made The Iron Giant, Ratatouille, Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol, Tomorrowland (which wasn't that great) and the sequel, Incredibles 2. Brad Bird did a great job at directing, and the movie itself holds a strong story, a great script, very nice animation, memorable characters, an awesome score, and some epic action. If you like superheroes, you'll love The Incredibles. It's a film for everyone.
