Credible in Increments but not Incredible

Rating: 7/10 (25 January 2005)

"The Incredibles" is not based on how the Bush-Cheney ticket won reelection. That film is called "Fun with Dick & George". "The Incredibles" is the latest computer animated pix (as in "Pixar") flick. I do not want to sound like I have "Buddy Pine Syndrome" and be ruthless, but I must admit that to me "The Incredibles" was not all that incredible as many critics & filmgoers thought it to be. I actually enjoyed more the old TV show "That's Incredible" than "The Incredibles". OK, so maybe that was an incredulous incredible statement. I did not mean to go that far. Don't get me wrong! I did think that Brad Bird's film did soar at times with its elucidating look at a superhero family trying to live a suburban lifestyle before they are forced to be "superheroexpialadoso" (oops! wrong movie) again. All in all, "The Incredibles" was credible but it was not incredible. *** Average
