Shattered My Expectations!

Rating: 9/10 (20 March 2007)

The Incredibles (2004)
Review: When I heard that this was from Brad Bird, I was skeptical. Pixar has done some good. I was tempted. Here we go:
The Incredibles is truly something else. We already see the great Pixar animation alone that is even better that Toy Story. This movie features a family with the mother and father two former superheroes living in suburbia. Father Incredible misses the days of the past and longs for them again. That's only part of the story.
The Incredibles has it all. We have excellent voice acting. From Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, and Jason Lee. They are great here. We also have some truly fast and intense action that I did not expect at all. It will leave you wanting more. Not too violent and not light on it either. Good for the kids and adults alike. You will not be bored.
This movie is also quite intelligent. With unique enemy robots to a rather sinister villain, we have a good thing going here. The ONLY thing preventing this getting a 10 is the setup of the story sending our heroes into retirement. I cannot identify with that at all. Sure, it's original, but far to hard to believe. That's the only drawback here.
The Last Word: Humor, action, and intelligence. What is there to complain about? Almost the best. Brad Bird is a genius.
