Review of The Incredibles (2004) by Joe C — 10 Jun 2015
Pixar has been known to build a winsome feature around what looks like a questionable storyline, and wring every ounce of hilarity and originality out of it. Exiled to a suburban family life after a series of mishaps leads to the government putting the kibosh on super-powered crimefighters, the former Mr.
Incredible deals with the monotony of his new job at an insurance company by sneaking out after hours and upholding truth and justice on the DL. One of the best superhero movies of recent years, think Pixar meets Watchmen, The Incredibles fizzes by on pure invention, great jokes and a real affection for the retro '60s stylings it's aping.
As with roughly all of kids' movies, The Incredibles teaches a lesson about the value of being yourself, but even if the moral of the story isn't exactly unique, the characters and situations offered a nifty twist on the superhero craze.
