Incredibles 2 movie review- by Jeremy Jahns

Full text transcript of Incredibles 2 movie review

The Incredibles came out 14 years ago, that is nearly a decade and a half of ElasticSearch being the hottest Pixar mom of all time, Disney Pixar.

Would it be Disney animated moms of all time period? Probably what it’s been a decade and a half. She’s still perfection.

The Incredibles two, so The Incredibles, who has written and directed by Brad Bird, who wrote and directed The Incredibles one picks up literally right where The First Incredibles left off. And now there’s this new guy who is like, Hey, Alaska girl, come with us. We got some missions for you. Maybe superheroes can get into a good life. Maybe this whole illegal thing can just go away. Well, she’s off with them. Mr. Incredible stays home with the kids and needs to be a stay at home dad. That’s pretty much the brick and clay of The Incredibles, too. And what I liked about this movie is they do keep the family dynamic meets superhero movie dynamic. In fact, I watched The First Incredibles last night or the night before last, depending on when I upload this or when you’re watching it is I wanted a refresher and it’s still perfect. But I realize it’s more like a Mission Impossible movie than a superhero movie, which now through hindsight, I didn’t see it before. Brad Bird was perfect to peg to direct Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol. The Incredibles is more like a Mission Impossible movie than it is a superhero movie.

Or maybe it’s a superhero movie that’s in the Mission Impossible. Vaine even has a soundtrack, the one where one boy tries to have that old school spy trying to the score. But it works for The Incredibles and they kept that score for The Incredibles two. I love that. I was afraid they were going to switch out the score for some other type of score, like, oh, the music’s changed. We’ve got to change with it, but you got to keep it. Incredibles and I kept it incredible. Also, the family dynamic is very much here. I didn’t like all of what they gave us. I’ll get to that in a bit. But for what I liked, I liked the fact that The Incredibles two, like The Incredibles one, illustrates really what SESAR illustrates, which is apes together, stronger, stronger together. I like that we got more frozen in this movie Frozen, other than Dasht is my favorite character in The Incredibles. We get a bit more of him in this movie. You can see with the ice effects how technology is.

It’s gotten better when the action is going down in this movie. That’s really where it shines. The action sequences in this movie are better than anything most movies and or franchises could ever hope to get really entertaining stuff right there. I really I’m glad Elastic Girl really shined in this movie. She shows everyone. Yeah, stretchy powers are not stupid.

Haters are Fantastic Four. It’s all about how you portray it in the film. Lots of girls. Great. But Mr. Incredible for the most part is staying home with the kids. It’s the dad who stays at home to parent the kids. He’s not used to being the stay at home dad, so he feels out of place and efficient. He’s sleep deprived. Sound familiar? I know because a lot of movies have done that. It’s a cliche, but this movie does it. You could argue. Yeah, but they’re super kids, so violent and dads are pretty well behaved. So it’s all about it’s a super baby. And that does get amazing. It really does. In the end, you strip away the mask. It’s still the dad who stays at home who’s not used to being a stay at home dad. It’s the first act of Jersey Girl. Yeah, he didn’t mishear that. I referenced Jersey Girl. The villain is pretty cliche, the motivation. And you just see it coming a mile away. I don’t mean to make this a review of Incredibles one, but I really felt that they hit the bullseye with syndrome. In fact, syndrome would have been perfect to have an incredible two rather than Incredibles one, The Incredibles one for what it was would have been a fine movie. If the villain for this movie was in that movie, they’d have to switch up the motivation a little bit, but it could be done. But still have that scene at the beginning where he tells that little kid, buddy, like, all right, buddy, go away.

Didn’t The Incredibles two, there’s this new syndrome. Who’s he always buddy from the first movie that would really tie the first or second one together. The syndrome’s perfect for The First Incredibles. But if you’re going to have a villain who is so closely, personally tied with the hero, at least for his motivation, you have to come out swinging for the villain in the second movie like Batman Begins. Personal villain for Bruce Wayne, second movie, you come out swinging with the Joker. This movie didn’t really do that. There’s no pre-existing villains in The Incredibles, so you’ve got to make it up as it goes along. But I don’t feel incredible to outdid the villain from Incredibles one. Like a big thing I can point you right now is the pacing. Sometimes I felt the pacing was off. Sometimes I felt it dragged on a bit when it was at home with Mr. Incredible and the kids, The Incredibles and The Incredibles two are roughly, I think, the same runtime, give or take two minutes. They’re each about two hours long. The Incredibles two is a two hour long movie that feels about two hours long. The Incredibles one is a two hour long movie that feels about an hour and a half. I feel like I have to leave you with the feeling that I was bagging on the movie. I didn’t mean for that to be the case. I enjoyed the movie. I really did. It was a really fun time. But it’s not as profound as The First Incredibles movie.

You look at syndrom for The First Incredibles movie. The entire philosophy he’s going for is a very teachable moment. The idea that if everyone special, that means no one is. That was the first time I personally had ever heard that. I’m not going to go so far as to say it was the first time it was ever said ever. But I remember hearing that being like, oh my God. Like, that’s a very real thing. That movie taught me something. It changed my philosophy, my perception. This movie doesn’t have anything like that, but is very enjoyable. And given what the villain was and what the villain could do, I feel like there could have been a moment like that, but didn’t walk away with that. I don’t know if this movie had something like that for you that I’m missing. Come on below. Let me know. But a sequel, I guess, in the sense that sequels are rarely as good as the first All Things Considered, The Incredibles two was a fun time. No alcohol required for The Incredibles, too. Have you seen it? What did you think about it?

E3 kind of put me behind a bit. What? I had this review up much earlier. But hey, you three times. I imagine you’ve seen it. What did you think about it? Whatever you thought, comment below.
