Incredibles 2 Reviews

Feels downright demeaning to children.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.0/4.0

This is a by-the-numbers redux of the first Incredibles movie - it's fun to watch, but it's too predictable to be truly gripping.
Full Review | Original Score: 6/10

[It's an] entertaining but exhausting feature so hopped up on Pixy Stix that emotions feel like molasses in comparison.

The biggest struggle the sequel finds is that it really doesn't have anything new to say that wasn't present in the first film.

The Incredibles are a family of unappealing, irritating, paper-thin characters. They're lame superheroes who don't really accomplish much.

The biggest overarching problem here is that there isn't really a singular story at play as much as a dozen or so half-formed sequel ideas that keep getting brought up, sort-of explored and then left to sit

The film feels like an entertaining riff on The Incredibles more than a fully-developed sequel.

Usually when watching a comic book... movie, I walk out of the theater desperate to live in their world. I would hate to run into The Incredibles in real life because I'd be certain they would be looking at me with judgement in their eyes...

Incredibles 2 is a solid outing from Pixar, but after fourteen years of waiting, it should more than live up to its title.
June 29, 2018
Incredibles 2 regresses to a time when any power women managed to acquire was carefully controlled so as not constitute a threat to the male order. Such nostalgia is self-defeating.

Everything in Incredibles 2 is inexorably driven toward a big final blowout. That sequence is suitably grand and eye-popping, but haven't we seen all of this before?

This sequel continues the story as nothing has changed in the past fourteen years. That is to the film's credit, and also its detriment.

After fourteen years of waiting they could have cooked up something more powerful... [Full Review in Spanish]

Incredibles 2 feels like a rebuke of the audience that came to gawk at a superhero movie - and worse, that had the nerve to identify with its superior protagonists.

Big, annoying and mostly, pointless.

June 11, 2018
Incredibles 2 captures most of the fun of Pixar's The Incredibles, but feels somewhat outdated in the modern Hollywood landscape of superhero movies.

Incredibles 2 could be the future; a future in which every movie is polished but beige, beautiful but bland, fun but fawning, amusing but dull.
June 21, 2018
It's a nostalgic vision of total power of a local minimum that echoes sickeningly with the nostalgic pathologies of the current day, nowhere more than in Win's enthusiastic declaration of his plan to "make superheroes legal again."
June 25, 2018
But something in [Brad Bird] (or me) goes brain-dead when it comes to the "Incredibles" movies. They have no inner spark.
June 13, 2018
Whatever the intention, "Incredibles 2" plays out as the worst of both worlds, a combination of the typical weaknesses of both animated and live-action superhero films, with few of the strengths.
