My mother and I caught “Incredibles 2” last night at the 10:30 showing. (Didn’t get home until after 2 in the morning.)
We really enjoyed it. Earlier in the day we watched the first film, and we both agree that the second film is even better.
My son and I saw it last night…it’s been a long , long time since I’ve seem the first one, so I can’t really say which one is better, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
My only complaint was that there was no post-credits scene.
I thought it was great. Loved the first one and loved this one. I don’t know which one is better, and for me that doesn’t matter much.
Loved it.
Really liked the “Yes, we know it’s been a long wait for this sequel, but we think it’s worth the wait” message from the creators. Really didn’t like the short in front of the movie, Bao. The kid next to me said, “What happened?” when it was over.
Saw it last night with my daughter, we both enjoyed it immensely. I can’t say it was quite as good as the first, but a lot of that was due to the fact that the first one just exceeded my expectations by such a large factor, and blew me away with its wonderful characters and execution. Now I expected it, and got what I expected: A delightful time. And every scene with Jack-Jack or Edna was priceless. And the scenes with them both were beyond priceless.
Though I would have liked more of Mrs. Frozone.
I loved it.
Here’s my (fairly obvious) observation: Jack-Jack’s powers are, in the main, emblematic of the problems of raising babies.
-It seems like there’s more than one of them
-You turn your head and they vanish
-When they get angry they turn into demons
Not sure how shooting lasers from their eyes fits in…
because its freakin’ cool !
Thought it was really good.
Will probably like it better seeing at home when I don’t have to get to the theatre 15 minutes early to get a seat, sit through 25 minutes of trailers, and another 8 minutes of a short film.
The only opportunity I think they missed was some memorable exotic locales or set pieces.
With computer animation the sky is the limit when it comes to creating the locations for your story.
Syndrome’s island was a character unto itself in the first film.
Here we got an urban city scape, a modern 50s mansion, and a yacht. Not the most interesting places when you have the option of setting it anywhere.
It was fun. No strong objections. But, like the first, I don’t know what about it impressed everyone. Maybe just that it’s not crap like most 3D films?
I’ll still go with Dean DeBlois over Brad Bird any day.
We enjoyed it. I asked my daughter (5) what her favorite part was: When Jack-Jack fought the raccoon. Not any of the cool action sequences or anything to do with Violet. Nope. A superpowered baby fighting a raccoon. Through she did later suggest we try firing the baby (her toddler brother).
I really liked the first one, and I enjoyed this, but maybe not as much as the first. I figured out who the baddie was early on and it kinda made the movie run a little flat for me.
I did enjoy Bob Odenkirk’s vocal stylings. He was great.
I think that was my favorite, too. The raccoon’s expression when Jack-Jack started setting the lounge chairs on fire was priceless.
Saw it Friday night, with great anticipation. It was a very good movie, but (for me, anyway) it didn’t quite match my expectations and I didn’t think it was nearly as good as the first. Unlike the first film, it was predictable on a pretty basic level - the identity of the “secret” villain was obvious from the moment the character started speaking, and I kept hoping they would take either the character or the Master Plan in a direction other than the one everyone was expecting, and they never did. I also felt like they were dutifully hitting the story beats that 14 years of anticipation required, but the inspiration was gone. Edna’s two scenes were just riffs on her scenes in the original movie, with none of the same manic weirdness or unpredictability. Frozone’s wife popped her head up (metaphorically) to do a variant on the same dialogue she had in the first movie, but without the really well written dialogue and with nothing new to bring to the joke, it just seemed like checking a box.
It’s obviously a better written, animated, and directed movie than, for example, anything Illumination has ever turned out - the one-on-one fight scene between Elastigirl and Screenslaver was exceptionally well done, and that raccoon sequence was hilarious. Bob’s Adventures in Parenting were well written, and Pixar’s animators are still better at facial expressions than most human actors. It just seemed uninspired as a whole - like I’m not sure why this movie needed to exist at all.
I had to suspend my disbelief when the raccoon kept coming back for more. My experience with them is that if they’re afraid, they flee if possible.
Of course I also had to suspend my disbelief about having a super-powered baby, but that was easier to do. 
I had an opposite reaction. I loved the dynamic between the mother and “son” at first, then saw how it soured along the way because he wanted to play with other kids and eventually leave with his new fiancé. I couldn’t believe that the mother ate the dumpling in her fit of rage until the realization that the dumpling represented her actual son. Well done, a little overdramatic as these shorts often are, but a nice appetizer before the main movie.
Great observation.
I liked the sequel and I really liked how they set up Elasti-Girl as the “hero” for this one. Mr. Incredible is kind of a blunt hammer – what he does is very good but you don’t need a hammer for every job. Great job of flipping their dynamic. Also, of course Mr. Incredible is going to struggle a bit in his new role as the father but he wasn’t just a dumb lunkhead. He figured out the math and (eventually) helped Violet out with her problem.
I know it’s minor but I could tell right off the bat that Mr. Dicker was played by someone else in this movie. I loved Bud Luckey’s voice in this and didn’t realize that he just died in February. Having Jonathan Banks take over sounded different but it worked. very good voicework from the other actors as well – I really liked Voyd and the new heroes that were added in.
Probably the only negative thing about this was that I could tell who the villain was right off the bat. They telegraphed it so hard that I figured it out before the movie even started.
Two things that had felt to me like they were going to be resolved, but then never were:
(1) They never ended up catching The Underminer
(2) Who lied to Bob about his car and why? (And I’d love to find out about the car’s maker… is there an equivalent of Edna for Super tech? Funded how?)
They can’t catch The Underminer, because he’s John Ratzenberger’s character, so he has to be available if they ever make Incredibles 3. 
I thought it was very good, right in line with the original. My daughter (4) said her favorite scene was Violet coming down invisibly to get ice cream, and my older boys liked the part when Dash was testing out the remote in their new house.
Wish the father weren’t such an insecure and immature giant oaf, and that it weren’t an attempt to push some stereotype of fathers.
It was a bit more intellectual and scientific than the average Pixar film, so not bad.
Would have been a neat prank for people to wear blue-glowing goggles and loiter about theater auditorium exits to scare people just emerging from watching Incredibles 2.
Also, Dash is such an utterly dislikable brat. I can’t see what purpose he serves in the series at all. He isn’t contributing anything remotely useful to the movie - he fails even at being a “cinematically useful brat.”
Since the baddie was telegraphed in such an obvious way it would have been nice if Elastigirl figured it out also and then the movie do another fake-out having Evelyn Deavor (nice touch “evil endeavor”) be falsely accused and then have the real baddie be Mirage from Incredibles 1.
In the version of the movie I saw, Bob stayed up all night to teach himself a new method of doing math so he could teach it to his son, patiently read his infant to sleep at least three separate times, correctly sought help when he was overwhelmed, and put aside his pride and hurt feelings to support his wife’s opportunity. He didn’t do a great job handling his teenage daughter’s love life, but what parent ever does? And he did all of this without ever once using his actual superpower. The only message in the movie I saw about fathers is that they’re just as capable as mothers at holding down a household, and then can get just as run down and overwhelmed. If every father were Bob Parr, the world would be a lot more functional.
