Even though The Incredibles is more violent than previous Pixar offerings, it still a witty and fun-filled adventure that almost lives up to its name.

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.

The sleek computer animation is spellbinding as usual.
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.
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.
As the kids discover their powers and this family hovers between super and dysfunctional, "The Incredibles" finds its voice . . . and it speaks to families everywhere.
Incredible and action-packed fun for the entire family.
Assembled with an intense amount of care and love so that every cut, every sound, every movement, builds to a euphonious whole.
...far from engrossing...
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.
In a word: Incredible.
Bombastic finale aside, it's a cut (and an age-range) above the simplicities of Finding Nemo.
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.
The Incredibles shows once and for all what was right in front of our noses all along, that Pixar is not an animation studio but a movie studio. And not just a movie studio, but the best movie studio.
My eight year old nephew's choice and what a great choice, I thought it was brilliant. Great animation, great storyline, great characterisation and very funny on an adult and child level. VERDICT: Difintiely worth a watch even if you have no children to watch it with.

The main characters are a perfect reflection on the modern family and the action and violence excites flawlessly.
