Yesterday, I saw Incredibles 2 for the first time. I had heard a lot of good things about it but failed to catch it while it was in theaters, so I decided to check it out. I had a blast watching the movie and here are some of my thoughts on it.
Incredibles 2 starts right where the first one left off. After stopping one of the Underminer’s machines and failing to capture him, the Parrs are arrested as superhero action is still illegal. Agent Rick Dicker then tells them that the Superhero Relocation Program is being shut down and the most he can do to help them is get them a few weeks’ stay in a hotel. Later that night, Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, and Frozone meet two wealthy siblings who say they want to make superhero action legal once again and believe Elastigirl is their best shot at making it happen. So they all move into a home provided by the siblings and Mr. Incredible looks after the kids while Elastigirl goes back to fighting bad guys and saving the day. But when a villain called the Screenslaver proves to be a bigger threat than anyone had imagined, the family has to come together once again to make things right.
As much as I enjoyed The Incredibles, I liked Incredibles 2 even more. The sequel made me laugh longer and harder, had me on the edge of my seat more often, and held my attention better than the original movie. Plus it was nice to see the family interact more with each other this time around. I watched Incredibles 2 at home long after it had been out of theaters and saw hardly any trailers for it, so maybe having no real expectations for the movie enhanced my enjoyment of it since almost everything in it was a surprise to me.Incredibles 2 had some of the best action sequences and biggest laughs of any superhero movie I’ve seen, so I’ll definitely be returning to this several more times. If you haven’t seen this incredible movie, I highly recommend checking it out.
