Movie Info

Directed by Brad Bird, The Incredibles revolves around former high-profile superhero Bob Parr (aka Mr. Incredible), who has not-so-successfully settled into suburban life along with his wife and kids under the watchful eye of the Superhero Protection Program. A far cry from the "glory days" during which "supers" were a welcome addition to society, the Parrs' living situation was brought on after a series of superhero-related lawsuits forced them into hiding. When not trying to fight small-time

The sleek computer animation is spellbinding as usual.

Bombastic finale aside, it's a cut (and an age-range) above the simplicities of Finding Nemo.

The often wry and pointed dialogue reminded me of the glory days of radio.

The folks at the movie's heart are exaggerated way beyond our capacities but not quite beyond our imaginings. The title is unjust; these are the very slightly credibles.

Exemplary mixture of top-notch storytelling, visual razzle-dazzle, accessible humor, and involving action.

The Incredibles has that rare quality of feeling modern and classic at the same time.

A sharp, even amusing, homage to comic book lore, a great family-friendly action-comedy, and a thoughtful marital drama all wrapped up in a deliciously exciting package.

The conflict between natural talent and learned and practiced ability shapes the heart of The Incredibles, even as it goes about trumping every superhero film ever made.

This truly is a film that turns is every bit as incredibly good as it has been made out to be.

Frame for frame, The Incredibles is as good as any live action superhero film ever made, and often far more convincing.

Wonderful stuff.

It re-animates the thrill, not just the nostalgia, of old-school comic books and pulp adventure.

A movie that demonstrates once again why the studio continues to leave competing product from the likes of Disney and DreamWorks in the dust.

...the real secret to Pixar's greatness lies not in the animation, but in their wonderful choice of stories that appeal to both children and parents.

Audience Reviews for The Incredibles

The Incredibles is Pixar Animation Studio's sixth film. In my opinion, it's their best one yet.

The story starts out with Mr. Incredible. He's the world's best superhero, and he's at the top of his game. After another day of saving lives, he gets married. (As Robert Parr, his secret identity)

Everything seems perfect for him and his bride, fellow superhero elasticgirl, until he gets sued. Right before the marriage, he saved a man who was committing suicide. He sues for 'pain and suffering' from his fractured neck. Soon, more people start to sue other superheroes. The lawsuits were costing the government millions. That's when superheroes were told to hang up their capes.

Fifteen years later, Robert Parr is trying to live a normal life. And failing. He hates it. He wants to feel the thrill of being a superhero again. After some more events, he gets fired. All seems lost. Then suddenly, he gets an offer to become a superhero again. To defeat a robot created by an organization, that overcame them. To get paid triple his old salary. He accepts. After defeating the robot, he spends months reconnecting with his family and enjoying life.

Then the plot changes. The head of the company is exposed. He wants revenge on Mr. Incredible for not letting him be his sidekick when he was younger. He thought the robot would destroy him. So, he plans on becoming the best superhero by creating false adversaries and getting false glory. Twisted isn't it?

But there is more going on. His wife starts to suspect Robert is cheating. She goes to the island were Robert is being held captive (She uses a tracking device; she doesn't know that he is resuming secret hero work) and brings the children. Here's where the story picks up; Robert and his family start to thwart the evil, and after a series of blockbuster events lead to an ending of 'incredible' proportions.

Consensus: The incredibles is a brilliant movie. It's a real breath of fresh air to have something as thoroughly exciting and as multiply satisfying as this. 99/100

Pixar's most violent film ever (not that it's very very violent) The Incredibles fires out on all cylinders and heightens up peril in the world of Disney. Though quick-paced and slightly difficult to keep up with, the movie strikes hard and retaliates even harder. 4.5/5
