Plot

Mr. Incredible (Bob Parr) and Elastigirl (Helen Parr) are superheroes as well as spouses. They are raising their children Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack as they are also trying to bring superheroes back into good favor with the public. The Deavor siblings (Winston and Evelyn) suggest a way to do so: have Elastigirl go out, break rules about no supers in public, and win back the public's opinion in a positive and minimal-finances way. Can Bob handle being stay-at-home dad while his wife thwarts evil plans away from home? Can the kids handle having their mom away? Can Elastigirl's influence in society help legalize superheroes?



Rating Criteria

0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.

4.5/5 - *SPOILERS* I guessed that someone at Devtech was behind Screenslaver because it just seemed too easy to foil his plots, especially since screens could be fitted inside of goggles. I figured it out when the "pizza guy" came out of the building with a "what happened?" confused reation.

Jack-Jack was AMAZING. He was the best of the whole movie, honestly, because we were constantly wondering how the family was going to deal with his strange mood swings / power changes. It was weird for him copying Edna but okay, whatever.

Best scene ever, Jack-Jack versus the raccoon:



The Elastigirl bike was awesome as she was able to split it apart and sling shot around with her stretchy body.

Evelyn telling Helen she shouldn't have trusted her was a very close-to-home thing for me because it seems sometimes the only people that you can trust are yourself and (sometimes) your family, but sometimes even that trust is betrayed. [HAHAHAHA - Evil Endeavor, if you read it differently.]

Compared to the first movie: more entertaining and close-to-home for those that are of adulting/parenting age. More interesting because of Jack-Jack's powers being discovered by his family (like wtf was up with the raccoon?). Bad guy plot was a bit noticeable and was worse than the bad guy plot in the first movie, but Elastigirl, Mr. Incredible and the kids pulled together as a team once again and saved the day. :-D


Anyways, that's my review! Thanks for reading. More reviews are on the way.
