The Incredibles
PG, 115 minutes
Movie website
Overall Grade: B
Yah, a decent flick. Lots of action, sometimes to much for the eyes to take in. Not as funny or heartwarmer as usual Disney fare. The animated short before the movie is abominably terrible. And the preview for the 'Cars' movie, oh my gosh, they've run out of movie ideas, that's it, a movie about talking cars? Anyway, even if the Incredibles movie is slightly not interesting, the characterizations are well captured for the people in those age groups, so applause for that. There are a few characters that are interesting, but need to be explained more because they just sort of drop out of the story after their important interludes. Premise: Superheroes started getting lawsuits against them, and so the government puts them into a sort of 'witness protection' type program. Except some of the heroes are restless to be back fighting crime, and what would a hero story be without the evil villian with a gripe?
