Movie Review : The Incredibles

The Incredibles is absolutely (get ready for the overplayed bad joke) Incredible. I waited for something like a year to two years to see this movie. I remember seeing previews for it over a year and a half ago. Actually I started to think it would never come out and that maybe it would just blow. Man am I glad it didn't.

If you are like me, you like superheros. And this movie makes a lot of fun of them. Ex: This movie makes fun of superheros who wear capes, as well as what happens to aging superheros. The voice actors were excellent (Samuel L Jackson, you will always be my hero). Whats kind of interesting is that the writer/director for this movie (Brad Bird) did The Iron Giant which didn't do nearly as well.

The plot is well executed. I didn't know what kind of villian they would have without making it seem like they were just trying to have a crappy formula, but they chose well. This movie is aimed a lot more at the adult crowd as opposed to the youngsters. For example, Elastigirl stretches and this somehow excites Mr. Incredible. Think about that for a second and you'll see what I mean.

Oh yeah, there was a much anticipated Star Wars III trailer as well as an animated short which you don't really see anymore these days. Both were pretty cool. I just hope the Star Wars one doesn't suck.

Bottom line, I love this movie, and thank god Pixar is still making great stuff.

9.0 / 10
