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.

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

As always, Pixar excels with its animation, but what makes this family film even more appealing is the smartness of the script, which is clearly written, end to end, to appeal to adults as well as children.

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.

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

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

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

Time Out

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.
