Review of Incredibles 2 (2018) by Jay P — 14 Jun 2018
The average rating for this movie is 7.8/10 and I could not agree with that rating more. It was just short of an 8/10 for me so I rounded up. There was no way this movie could live up to the near perfection of the first, but in many ways it is better.
Sadly, a pedestrian villain and predictable story drag down what could have been a much better movie. There are moments in this movie that are better than anything I have seen on screen. A sense of loss for the lack of a Fantastic 4 movies that comes anywhere near this will always color these movies for me as well.
The action pieces are all spectacularly well done, but honestly some felt a bit repetitive. Memorable bits to walk away with are a defiant racoon, a motorcycle chase like you have never seen before, and powers used in such creative ways that you have never seen them on screen before.
Definitely worth seeing in theaters, just temper your expectations. I know that is strange to say about a 4 star review, but that is what happens when you make a sequel to a near perfect movie. The beats are all there, but it feels like they decided to dumb down the story so the kids could understand it.
