Review of Incredibles 2 (2018) by Jluis_001 — 29 Jun 2018

14 long years it took Pixar to release the sequel to one of its most emblematic and famous films: The Incredibles.

Ironically for us it was 14 long years but for the characters it was just a few hours. It's amazing but this film starts exactly where the original ended.

To replicate the magic of something that was so wonderful it's something very difficult especially with sequels because frankly almost all of them end up being minor spectacles.

I have criticized Pixar for changing their approach by making a lot of sequels because something that distinguished the studio were their stories and their stories were good and original.

With the exception of what they did with the wonderful trilogy of Toy Story all of the Pixar sequels have resulted in minor films. They were good but not nearly as good as the originals.

But I won't really go deep into the film. I prefer for everyone to see it and form their own opinion. I just have to say that I don't think it's superior to the original but I do think it's the best sequel Pixar has done since Toy Story 3. Is the second best sequel they've ever done.

The story is great. The animation evidently improved in a spectacular way. Michael Giacchino's score is excellent, it sends you back to the past and submerges you as if time had never passed.

The villain sadly is not up to Syndrome but frankly I think that's the only problem the film has. It's a small problem but it exists. Nevertheless I repeat this is a spectacular film that deserves to be seen and I repeat: this is the best sequel Pixar has done since Toy Story 3 and it's the only sequel they should have ever done after that one.

Do I want a third film? Of course I would love a third film.

Do I have to wait another 14 years? Well, that's a very different thing. But honestly I have to say it, even though recently Brad Bird said there are no plans for a third entry, I think he really should try because the characters deserve it.

Especially as we can see with the little Jack-Jack who stole this film. He's a wonderful, funny, endearing and adorable character, I say it again, the characters deserve more and we the audience deserve more of those characters.
