Check.<br />Strong one? Check.<br />Invisible one? Check.<br /><br />I agree that this is far better than Cars and Monsters and if they are going to be making sequals, why not this one? <br /><br />I like the family stuff as much as the hero stuff. The family dinner was the best written part of the movie. Holly Hunter's voice work sells it.<br /><br />Also, when Bob calls the young Syndrome "Brodie" before remembering "Buddy", is that a Mallrats call back?<br /><br />18.9/20Kairowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12041349697164417219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784846369945401487.post-36064302453534354282011-04-14T12:04:43.244-07:002011-04-14T12:04:43.244-07:00Uh oh...you also just said 'Up'

I completely d...Uh oh...you just said 'Up'<br /><br />I completely disagree about 'Up' and 'Wall-E' needing to be animated in order to succeed while 'The Incredibles' would work just as well as a live action film. In fact, I'd probably argue the opposite. I think 'Up' would work fine as live action (not sure about 'Wall-E' though; I don't feel strongly about 'Wall-E' either way; still have no desire to even watch that one a second time) while I think 'The Incredibles' might have seemed derivative. I think a lot of what makes 'The Incredibles' novel and fun is that it's animated. Even with live action, you would needed so many computer effects that it would have been animated anyway...<br /><br />RE: the "family" stuff...yeah, part of what keeps it from being higher for me is that the thematic stuff that Pixar's movies usually have in there seems a little forced. Their problems felt very real though, and individually, all four of the family member's problems really helped round them out.<br /><br />For shits 'n' giggles, here is a guess on how many times I've seen various Pixar movies: <br /><br />Toy Story: around 100 times<br />Nemo: 9 times? maybe more<br />Monsters: maybe 8 times<br />Bug's Life: at least 5 times, probably more<br />Toy Story 2: 4 times, maybe 5<br />Up: 4 times<br />Incredibles: maybe 4 times<br />Toy Story 3: twice<br />Rat: twice<br />Cars: more than once was too many; I think I've seen it 3 or 4 times though<br />Wall-E: once<br /><br />Pixar's watchability is amazing...<br /><br />One more list: My favorite Pixar short films (the ones that come before the features): <br /><br />1) the one where the guy plays chess against himself<br />2) the one with the magician and the rabbit<br />3) the one with the one-man-band musicians trying to get the girl's coin<br />4-?) the other onesShanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033662507699896530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784846369945401487.post-25421223240217866222011-04-08T18:22:08.136-07:002011-04-08T18:22:08.136-07:00One of the two or three best superhero movies ever...One of the two or three best superhero movies ever made. Its also my favorite animated film ever, because its full of action, adventure, humor and its simply just a fun motion picture. To me, if they had made this into a live action movie, it would have still been very good. (Unlike Wall-e or Up, which rely entirely on the fact they are animated to get positive reviews.) <br /><br /><br />I give this sucker a 19. It misses a 20 only because they lay the whole "family" thing on a little thick. I did appreciate that neither Bob nor Helen was entirely right of entirely wrong about where their priorities regarding their use of powers and being heroes should be as related to the family obligations. They worked it out in a logical fashion. <br /><br /><br />From your review, I would have thought you would rate it a point or two higher, but I wont quibble.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05933668409383865050noreply@blogger.com
