This time Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is in the spotlight, leaving Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell) and Dash (voice of Huck Milner) to navigate the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life. It’s a tough transition for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack’s emerging superpowers. When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) must find a way to work together again—which is easier said than done, even when they’re all Incredible. (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)

The first one is better. I guess I didn't expect the second one to surpass it, but it's still one of the most entertaining Pixar movies of the last few years and definitely the best sequel. Brad Bird serves up some truly monumental action sequences, and there's no shortage of them. They can be breathtaking and spectacular when the fate of an entire town is at stake, and playfully entertaining and funny when Jack-Jack gets in on the action. Moreover, the script gives plenty of room for both Elastika's heroic antics and Mr. Incredible and his struggle with fatherly duties, and together, it's a great complement. Again, this is an excellent family action flick that doesn't try to go to great lengths to appeal to kid audiences. So it's a bit of a bummer that the plot itself is unnecessarily predictable and unsurprising, but not so much that it spoils the experience. Pixar has done a good job.

The best animated film of the year. The Incredibles 2 is back after 14 years and it's wonderful to watch. The animation is top-notch, the action is phenomenal, the characters are fun and Jack-Jack is delightfully funny. I felt like I was watching a Marvel movie in Anime mode only. An unexpected surprise with a good villain and a nice twist.

I was kind of sorry at first that Pixar didn't take advantage of the 14-year hiatus to let the protagonist grow old, and that it was starting exactly from the point where it left off last time. But in the end, I am very surprised at how successful it was. I also like the fact that the second film doesn't stick to that infamous curse of sequels and does not need to be bigger in every way at all costs. In fact, it’s a lot like the first film and is almost as good. Almost. I was tremendously entertained by the whole sitcom part with Bob in the household, because the sight of a clueless superhero is fantastic, and Jack Jack is great as the main source of entertainment. Unfortunately, this entertainment kind of exceeded the (tolerable) bad guy plot, from which I will remember the perfect animation and that group of very strange heroes.

After fourteen long years, we've finally get the sequel to one of Pixar's best classics: the Incredibles are back and still going strong! The sequel offers a good dose of brisk action, solid animation and many funny moments, especially provided by little Jack-Jack and good old Edna. As for the crime-plot, it was somewhat predictable, which might have been a problem in another genre, but this is a film primarily made for the average viewer. Though it is a fact that one expects a bit more from contemporary animated films after watching Coco, but this is not a criticism as much as a reminder. Above all, though, it is a pleasant two hours spent in the cinema with the “red” family, who mostly manages to deal playfully with both the villains and the tribulations of family life.

A fantastic animated film that surprised me in every way. While I don't consider myself an avid fan of the first one, I always enjoy watching it. With sequels, it's hard to please fans, and often there's a tendency to go for bigger, more bombastic action. This film certainly delivers in that regard; I was thoroughly impressed. But what’s more, it didn't forget to include humorous situations, often centered around little Jack-Jack. As many have already noted, he steals the show, whether it's with the raccoon or in the hilarious sequences involving Edna. Brad Bird once again proved he excels at creating well-balanced animated films and can still deliver nearly flawless entertainment. I said "nearly" intentionally—something was missing from the villain to make him top-notch. Therefore, I can't give the film a perfect score without reservation. Still, I award it a strong four stars and highly recommend catching it in movie theaters. It’s worth it. I give it 86%.
