Pros: Animation, Cute story, Nice layer of family humor, Score Cons: Voice talent not as special as in previous Pixar offerings
It’s hard to be a superhero. Especially an animated superhero. I never really got into the superhero genre much as a kid and trying to pick it up as an adult is a challenge. And animation. Well, lets just say that, while I appreciate the artistry ...
Pros: Voices, characters, plot, and animation Cons: Pace slowed down a little in a few places
In 1995, the first completely computer animated movie, Toy Story, was released by Pixar and Disney. Since then, Pixar has become the leader in computer animated movies and other studios have started making computer ...
Pros: Engaging story, acting, animation Cons: Some will see parallels to the Fantastic Four
Pixar has a knack for exploring the wonders of childhood and converting them into animated features that appeal to adults and children. The world of superheroes gets the Pixar treatment in "The Incredibles." A generation ago, America had a legion of ...
Pros: Very entertaining... Cons: ... not_as funny as_it should be, doesn't have_the magic or charm of previous PIXAR movies.
The Incredibles is the latest offering from PIXAR, who brought us some of my favourite animated movies of all time - Finding Nemo, Toy Story I & II, and A Bug’s Life. After reading several rave reviews of this one, I was ...
Pixar continues its somewhat odd tradition of being able to do everything right, except pique my interest in one of their films. I have to admit I wasn’t as impressed with ‘Toy Story’ as most, but it certainly surpassed my expectations. ...
Pros: Superb story and script, good voice cast, excellent animation. Cons: None
Mr. Incredible: No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved! You know, for a little bit? I feel like the maid; I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean ...
Pros: Excellent storyline, animation, voice acting, direction and script. Cons: Pacing problems in two spots...could be tightened up a bit.
Before I get slammed by someone for the title, I know that comparing Finding Nemo to The Incredibles is like apples and oranges. They’re two very different movies, with different audiences, different ratings, different stories to tell. And I love ...
Pros: Story, cast, visual effects, and most of everything Cons: This is not a con. its more of.. I was left wanting more.
There Is Nothing Like It To watch a great movie is like having a delicious dinner. You are greatly anticipating eating what you expect to be a great meal. Then when you actually begin to start eating, you enjoy the meal even more with ...
Pros: Those costumes looked cool, eh? Cons: Wanted to see more of our friend Frozone!
As a young child in this current generation, one of the many things that I, as a child, grew up with is the world of comic books. Quite a few people will also agree with that and with the sudden rush of mainstream comic book films, among them the ...
Pros: Voice talent: especially Nelson, Hunter, Vowell; animation; story Cons: Some scary moments for younger viewers
There's a moment in the 2004 animated film The Incredibles that never ceases to make me laugh outright. We've met the Incredible family: Mr. Incredible, his wife ElastiGirl, and their children Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack. We've learned that ...
Pros: Great story, lots of action and humor Cons: Not a thing wrong with this one
When I reviewed Fantastic Four, I chose not to play off the word Fantastic when describing the movie. For The Incredibles, I’ll go ahead and bite the bullet to say this film is incredible. I wondered how a computer-generated cartoon could ...
Pros: Astounding graphics, smart script, a very "real" picture of the world Cons: Some parts are a wee bit disturbing.
And just when I thought CGI was on the verge of overstaying its welcome on the big screen, here came The Incredibles to remind me that there may yet be redemption for the stuff after all. I regret that I have to be the 2,318th person to tell ...
Pros: Kind of high tech with a video game look. Good wins out. Cons: No reason to like the characters. Stale ideas from start to finish.
I hate to tell you, but The Incredibles weren’t all that incredible. The idea was pretty cool, but the whole thing kind of tasted like the flat Coke and way over-buttered popcorn that went with this evening out. First of all, I really wanted ...
Pros: Good action and comedy with real characters Cons: Pacing a bit off at times
Okay, I admit it. I haven't loved every Pixar movie right out of the gate. The Incredibles is a case in point. While I love the movie now, I only enjoyed it when I first saw it in theaters.The story follows a family of ...
We live in an age of ever expanding possibilities, where quantum leaps in technology are the norm. But at the same time the quintessential human story remains the same: a timeless loop of emotions; love, hatred, jealously will never fade from the human ...
Pros: lots of funny moments, quality animation Cons: a bit dark for my taste
I love Pixar. So much that I can't believe I still haven't seen Ratatouille, which looks glorious and which comes so highly recommended. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, however, I did manage to catch The Incredibles, the previous ...
Pros: Great tongue-in-cheek humor. Combination of familiar themes, characters, and genres. Cons: Cliche, but isn't that the point?
As you probably know, The Incredibles is the latest effort from Pixar, the animation company that produced a few movies you might have heard of (Toy Story, Finding Nemo, etc.). Not a bad track record, and one that The ...
Pros: satire, visuals, action. Cons: can be too sophisticated for kids.
He's strong, he's fast, he's brave, he is Mr. Incredible, rescuer of small kittens, stopper of mad terrorists and boyfriend to a more than flexible woman. Sadly for him his life in the spot light is about to come to a shattering conclusion. When Mr. ...
Pros: thrilling animation, funny spoofs and social commentary, highly film literate Cons: familiar storyline, familiar setting from other "takes" on the genre, length
I'm not a big fan of animation. Long ago, my fascination for the limitlessness of the form gave way to reality: Nine times out of a ten, "cartoons" settle upon sitcom storylines that require the audience to dumb down their expectations of "tale ...
Superheroes is something everyone seems to love. Whether it's Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, or Wonder Woman. The idea of them fighting against evil for the sake of good is something everyone can root for. Still, if there was anything that comic book ...
Pros: incredibly fun, it's a blast, animation is spectacular Cons: Jack Jack's special power is confusing
Pixar is an incredible animation studio. They always have been. It doesn’t matter whether it’s Toy Story, Monsters Inc., or Finding Nemo, they make some incredible full-length animations. The Incredibles was one of those movies that I saw ...
Pros: Smart and sassy screenplay. Excellent voice casting. Cons: Drags a bit in the second half.
I am becoming thoroughly sick of my involvement with Bodice Ripper at Camp Sisterwood. Vera Charles, who's playing the lead and I keep looking at each other aghast during the rehearsal process as the ladies of the commune simply cannot seem to ...
Pros: Nice cartoon characters with some development, good animation, good action, nicely wrapped ending Cons: Could have had more and better character development, two not quite complete plots
Yesterday, after a lovely Thanksgiving dinner at the Maggiano's at Old Orchard, we executed phase II of the plan: go down a couple of doors and see The Incredibles at the Plaza Gardens Theatres. We selected the movie, figuring that the four of us ...
Pros: Everything Man is here to save the day! Cons: Captain Zero... to the rescue!
If you're going to make a movie called, say, "The Fair-to-Middlings", it should probably be of a fair to middling quality. If you're gong to make a movie called "The That'll Do Nicelys", it should probably do nicely itself. And if you're going to make ...
Pros: Great animation, some funny moments Cons: Not that memorable, I didn't get attached to characters
I've been hearing about The Incredibles for months now, since it first appeared in theaters. The concept didn't necessarily appeal to me that much, probably because I feel like I'm coming off of an overdose of super hero movies at the box office ...
The Incredibles is a movie that seems to be universally loved, but I never bothered to see it in theatres. Having nothing to do last night, I watched the DVD with my friend. Like most other superhero comic books and movies, one of the central ...
Pros: the animation, the story, the humor, the overall smartness of the picture, Jason Lee Cons: it does drag a bit in a couple of spots
Disney's affiliation with Pixar has proven to be one of the smartest moves the company has made in years. From Toy Story to Finding Nemo to Monsters Inc., Pixar has consistently given Disney the highest quality family movies for a ...
Pros: Fifteen words isn't enough to get them all. Cons: I challenge you to find fault with the film.
The Incredibles Written and Directed by Brad Bird Voiced by Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jason Lee **** (out of ****) What Warner Brothers was to Disney – always the bridesmaid, never the bride to the general ...
If a movie isn’t going to connect with me on a personal level, it better be handing me something in the ways of socio-politics or socio-economics. Or hell, just something on society in general would be fine. The Incredibles, Pixar’s ...
Pros: it's a great flick from pixar Cons: can get boring in a few places.
Ok I went and saw this movie when I was visiting the big city yesterday. I wanted to watch this because it's a Pixar work. Pixar is indeed what Disney was several years ago has the incredible comes off has an imaginative mix of the Fantastic Four and the ...
Pros: Good, solid story with values...good characters...plenty of comedy...another Pixar hit! Cons: Nothing major
The Incredibles is Pixar Animation’s next major movie release coming off the success of Finding Nemo last year and by all accounts it seems Pixar has another winner on their hands. The story revolves around a family of superheroes that, ...
Pros: Great animation and premise. Cons: Long, drags in many places.

I could not have been HAPPIER to have gone to the movies today to see THE INCREDIBLES. Yes, I wasn't expecting too much and so maybe that is what helped, but by any means, I wasn't expecting to have one of the best movie experiences for 2004. I ...
Pros: witty, fun, good action, great animation, plenty of extras Cons: no sequel in the works, and I have Never said that as a Con before!
In the Golden Years, life was good and superheroes were always around to help out. Then people thought it would be a good idea to sue for that whiplash they suffered when Mr. Incredible stopped a subway from plunging off it's track. Suddenly everyone ...
Pros: Witty, entertaining, and has a great message. Cons: More violent than typical Disney/Pixar.
I am a fan of some Pixar movies (the two Toy Stories), while I'm neutral on others (Monsters), and I found Nemo to be a real yawner (with the exception of Darla). So with this in mind, I had no real preconceived notions of what I would think about "The ...
Pros: Great animation, voice acting, story, and entertainment Cons: To tell you the truth, there really aren't any
The Incredibles. Wowee. Let me tell ya'll out there...this is one of the better animated films I have seen. It's got everything down the check list: funny, action, good family morals, and it looks really, really cool! Let’s find out some more! ...
Pros: Great (as usual) Pixar animation and some really good laughs. Cons: Starts off slow but builds up steam.

The Incredibles is one of the very few Pixar films that I truly wanted to see on the big screen, alas, I had to pass on that because my at the time kept me on the road a lot as well as early start time and late night work. There just wasn't time ...
Pros: Enjoyable for the whole family. Brings the quality one expects from a Pixar film. Cons: Does not bring the originality one expects from a Pixar film.
Ever since the success of the first installment in the Toy Story series, Pixar has been synonymous with high-quality, animated films. The Incredibles lives up to the standard set by its predecessors, but does not exceed them. This ...
Pros: Brilliant script, adult themes, tapped into the social consciousness Cons: Do kids get ANY of the jokes? . . . Eh, who cares?
Rarely has there been an animated film more entertaining, more visually engaging, more genuinely heartfelt than Brad Bird’s “The Incredibles.” This Pixar/Disney film, released to DVD last Tuesday, has the charm of a James Bond movie, the ...
Pros: FABulous animation, great action sequences, funny characters, Pixar is on a roll. Cons: Bit slow at first, not as funny as other Pixars, annoyingly loud, somewhat unlovable characters.
My Character Design professor has just notified my class, via email, that "The Incredibles" was the best movie he's ever seen and that he wants us to skip class tomorrow, meet at the movie theater, and spend our class time watching the movie. Dang, I ...
Pros: Dark and realistic plot, not for children Cons: Dark and realistic plot, not for children
Superhero movies have an extremely deserved reputation of being a hit or miss genre. Either they suck beyond rational thought (Batman and Robin, the Hulk) or they're passable (The X-Men series, Superman III). But, from time to time you get the mix of a ...
Pros: Fun movie, great talent, good animation Cons: One bad voice actor,
I went into this movie not really knowing what to expect. I’ve seen previews of it and I thought it looked like it was going to be terrible, but everyone that I know, who went to the movie, thought it to be one of the best movies this year. ...
Pros: Great animation and voicework Cons: Overly familiar secret-agent-type machinations
I am so, so tired of secret-agent movies with their underground lairs, overly verbose villains, and soundtracks that sound like they've been shaken and stirred too many times. The Incredibles is supposed to be a cartoon about superheroes, but ...
Pros: Great story, superb retro-design Cons: Too short, one of a kind
The problem with animated films is that people usually assume they are made for children. Animation was invented for mainstream film-making, going all the way back to silent movies. Somewhere along the way, perhaps in part due to Walt Disney and Warner ...
Pros: Cast
Plot
Pacing
Set Design Cons: Violet's Powers Mirror Susan Storm
Unnecessary Commentary Tracks on DVD
Pixar Animation Studios is well known for out standing productions such as Monster's Inc., Toy Story, and Cars. Somewhere along the line, they created a film about a family of super heroes trying to be normal. This film was “The Incredibles.” Robert ...
Pros: acting ensemble voices; writing; art design; visual effects; world/character interaction; direction Cons: average story (not bad at all though); duration
Pixar and Disney studios have gone 6-0 with this amazing, breakthrough-animated film about a family of superheroes. This is proof that a mediocre idea can be brought to marvelous-looking results. The animators are pure geniuses, able to create vast, ...
Pros: Well done job on the action, humor, plot, script, and scenery. Everything was awesome! Cons: Edna, the super suit inventor was a bit psychotic, but fun.
Wow! What a story. This movie was full of adventure, humor, beautiful scenery, action sequences, mystery, suspense, and lots of fun! The Incredibles was the first movie ever done by Pixar with all humans in it. This has never been done before, so they ...
Pros: Brilliant Animation wedded to a great story and a lot of talent. Cons: Only one, begs for a sequel or three.

Pros: Animation, cast performances Cons: Development of supporting characters, not enough laughs
"Mister Inredible" (voiced by Craig T. Nelson) is a man with unique gifts which he uses to help his fellow man -- even if he is late for his own wedding to "Hellen," (voiced by Holly Hunter) whom the world knows as "Elastigirl". In fact, both were late ...
Pros: The characters, the soul, the pain, the joy, the everything! Cons: Nothing, darn it. Nothing!
Fabulous! Magnificent! Wonderful! Gorgeous! How much more effusive do you want me to get? All I can say is that this is one of the most fantastic movies that I have encountered in a long time. In my opinion, it definitely lives up to its predeccesors ...
Pros: Great action, great humor, great story, great special effects, good suspense. Cons: None.
When I saw the preview I thought it would be fun but not great. I thought it would simply be a movie making jokes about old, overweight super heroes. The fact is it was the best Pixar movie I have yet seen and making jokes about old overweight super ...
Pros: Funny movie, lots of action, kids love it, great characters. Cons: A lot of nagging and arguing in the movie until it was almost annoying.
The Incredibles is an interesting and funny movie but at the same time, there are parts in it that irk me. I know my kids love it (we own the dvd), so they watch it often. It does have some "incredible" parts to it, which make it stand out as a ...
Pros: Great film for kids and adults alike Cons: None I can think of
The Incredibles is one of the many excellent offerings from Disney Pixar (creators of such great movies as Finding Nemo, Cars). I have to admit I've always been a fan of the wave of computer generated animations that have arisen in the last decade or so, ...
Pros: Incredible animation, script, and voice acting. Cons: It does, eventually, have to end.
Superhero movies are being pumped out left and right by every single major studio...even Hellboy got his own movie, no matter how bad it was. So it's about time that the moviegoing public got itself a reward for turning up at every one of them, not ...
Pros: excellent voice work, and a whole lot of fun Cons: None
A film by Brad Bird Pixar's sixth animated feature is something of a departure for the company. It marks the first time they have brought in outside talent to direct a feature (Brad Bird, director of "The Iron Giant"). It marks the first time a ...
Pros: The script, the animation, the voice acting, the humor.
Cons: The longest CGI-animated feature yet.
It's currently 12:30 am as I write this, and I have to be up in 4 hours, but I need to post this tonight to spread the word. For those of you who don't know, I run a movie theater, and I also write reviews, both for a local paper and for HorrorWatch.com. ...
Pros: The price of my tickets to get in!! Cons: Boring...long...drawn out..unecessarily violent and scary..Unoriginal. Spy Kids rip-off.
So I'm all psyched up to the latest release from the folks at Pixar. I've seen all the previews (how could you not)....I've read the great reviews in all the papers....My kids have been asking to go for weeks....Plus I loved Nemo and Toy Story. So, we ...
Pros: Nice to look at. Cons: 1 part gratuitous violence - 1 part schmaltz (Family size)
I wonder if the Pixar people ever heard of a little film franchise called "Spy Kids" - because either they lifted their plot line intact, or this is the most "incredible" coincidence in film history. I tried to like this movie, I really did - and it ...
Pros: Funny, witty, great script, beautifully animated Cons: Predictable plot
Pixar studios strikes again with another fully digitally-animated film, The Incredibles. Basic synopsis: Superheroes were once quite common. However, the contemporary impulse known as lawsuits stepped into the picture, as many citizens were filing ...
Pros: Somewhat maturer story-line, esp. for a Pixar film. Pixar's usual state-of-the-art animation. Cons: None.
Imagine Pixar making one of their classic animated films but gearing it to an age group a few years older than their usual one-movie-fits-all demographic. With "The Incredibles," via a slightly advanced though not unpredictable plot-line and mature ...
Pros: Funny, Fun, action, morals, keeps your attention Cons: predictable
I went and saw Pixar/Disney's "The Incredible's" Last night at a local theatre. This movie features a family of "Supers" trying to fit in and cope with living a "normal life". After the public votes to have Super-Heroes banned, a new arch-nemesis arises ...
Pros: A superior family entertainment Cons: too long, some of the younger children may get restless during slower sequences
It is incredible what pixar has created when they combined the ideas of spy kids, James Bond and Spider-Man.Drawing from rich vein of pop-culture which are comic books and super-heroes, Pixar Animation Studios have come up with the definitive winner to ...
Pros: Animation is awesome, great plot and character development, fun and very humorous Cons: Not for the serious minded
The Incredibles has had quite a buildup, but exceeded our high expectations. The plot is extremely engaging, the characters well developed, and the comedy quite funny. The graphics are just amazing. I am usually a hard rater but this movie was just ...
Pros: Great animation, good story line, many funny bits Cons: Action scenes tend to be long. Too intense for young kids.
This animated Pixar masterpiece manages to blend superhero comic books, television shows, and movies with numerous references to other movie genres such as the James Bond 007 and other superspy movies and science-fiction films including a strong ...
Pros: funny, well-drawn, imaginative, microcosm of modern life in a cartoon Cons: could have been a bit MORE imaginative but it was enough
About "The Joe Review"other than I'm a pompous fool who believes his name means something :). The one thing I look for in a movie more than everything else combined is a good, detailed, imaginative story. I HATE movies that combine a ...
Pros: Entertaining for the whole family. Cons: None come to mind.
This movie is adorable and when you can enjoy a movie as much as your children, that is priceless! 'The Incredibles' follows the exciting life of a family of former superheroes rediscovering their powers - in one another. Once one of the world's ...
Pros: Exciting for young and old. Great family storyline. Cons: Where is the Incredibles 2?
Living in a remote, rural area with a five year old in the house its rare that we get out to the movies more than a few times a year. Plus there isn't all that much to get excited about theses days especially in kid's movies. So its saying a lot ...
Pros: Great movie; excellent voice cast; never once bad. Cons: Nothing. None at all. Period.
It's no surprise this one got its title - it truly is incredible. The Incredibles was originally conceived as a hand-drawn feature by Brad Bird, he who brought us the fantastic Iron Giant. The plug was pulled on it, though, when the Iron Giant ended ...
Pros: Action, Drama, Suspense, Comedy, and again more action throughout the entire movie! Cons: A few adult (boring to the kids) moments, but they were short.
The Incredibles...you have to see it to believe it! This is the first animated film to ever have me at the edge of my seat throughout most of the movie. Action packed with more action, and even more action! This great tale begins with an introduction ...
In the film the Incredibles, the father asks a kid, what are you waiting for? The kid says I don't know, something incredible. You and me both kid. This movie was horrible. Pixar/Disney was great but they have been going down hill since Finding Nemo. ...
Pros: Funny in some parts, cute story idea, kinda entertaining, even the kids have super powers. Cons: VIOLENCE, VIOLENCE & more VIOLENCE!
My husband and I took our 2 and 4 year old daughters to see this movie. It was way to violent for them. I wouldn't recommend this movie for kids under about 8 years old. The story seemed to have more to do with the relationship of Mr & Mrs Incredible. ...
Pros: THis movie has lots of action. Cons: nothing really.
Pixar does great in all their movies like finding nemo, toy story, monster's inc and all the other ones. The incredibles at first looked really corny but when I watched in the theatres it was great!!! This movie is like the batman and superman movies. If ...
Pros: All in all do not miss this movie. It was no less than incredible! Cons: None. Maybe if they promoed more of the cast.
Unbelievable! I went into this Movie with high ecpectations, but after Shark Tale was not sure if this movie would deliver... Let's just say that i was not let down! This is not the movie i was expecting nor will it be for you! The twist is incredible ...
Good graphics, good storyline, good fun. In other words: incredible!! by captain_canada ,Nov 10 '04
Pros: Fun, funny, fabulous, fantastic. And those are just the F words Cons: After you watch it. You'll really wish you had super powers
In the past, Pixar Animation studios has created quality movies that the whole family can enjoy, such as Monsters inc. and Finding Nemo. The Incredibles is certainly no exception. This movie is Pixar 101: humour, fun, 3-d animation, and (especially in this movie) action with a capital A.
In the movie, Bob and Helen Parr (aka Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl), their son Dash, and their daughter Violet try to foil the evil plans of Syndrome: a major techno geek and a former fan of Mr. incredible.
That's all I'm saying about the plot. Hopefully it has peeked your interest enough to go see it.
In conclusion, I'll say this. If you have kids, or if you're a fan of Marvel or DC comics, or you're just looking for a good movie. Then go see The Incredibles. It can simply be described in one word: INCREDIBLE!
Love animated movies. They're so great and fun to watch. It's like getting back to your childhood, except the technology wasn't as advanced those days, but anyways. The idea of superheroes fighting evil in an animated movies is great. The sounds, voices, everything about this movie is great. A superhero family trying to live "an ordinary" life is funny and also unpredictable. You can watch this movie with a boyfriend/girlfriend, little kids, friends,anyone. It's great. I'm sure most of you will love it.
The Incredibles- Not Just For Your Kids by leesamuel ,Jun 20 '05
Pros: Incredible (ha! a pun) animation, lots of fun, good clean humor, other humor. Cons: Simple plotline
On a rainy day last month I sat on a couch with my little cousins and we watched "The Incredibles". I had been expecting some lame little kid's movie, but I was stunned to find that it was not a little kid's movie, and that it was GOOD too.
The Incredibles is rife with cynicism (Such as cracks about our legal system), good plain humor (think bad guys getting beat up in a motor vehicle), and incredible animation. The plot is a little simple, to be sure, but its still lots of fun.
So, after reading this (extremely helpful) review, go out and rent "The Incredibles". Don't just play it for your kids. WATCH it! I think it is the best Pixar animated movie of all time, and there have been some OK Pixar films.
Pros: Nice to look at, occasionally funny Cons: Weak comedy and chemistry
While there are plenty of laughs and some funny imaginative elements, The Incredibles never achieves the same level of chemistry as Monsters Inc. or Finding Nemo. It's also rather drawn out for an animated film. Holly Hunter and Nelson never really click and thier animated offspring don't quite gell either. Part of the problem was in Pixar's decision to use non-comics for the lead roles. The lack of timing, even pieced together, is obvious. Kids will probably still love this and the design work is often impressive, yet somehow the works feels flat and depressed at times.
Pros: Funny, entertaining, and has some clean adult comedy mixed with a kids cartoon. Cons: None
What a great movie for the kids and the adults. Incredibles was funny, entertaining, and even though it was long, it kept your attention the complete movie. The voices behind the characters were a perfect fit for each part played. Good clean adult comedy mixed in with a kids cartoon was very creative. What did I hate about it? Nothing, but what a shame if Disney doesn't come to terms with Pixar, because Pixar is the driving force behind Disney's successful cartoons. Incredibles is a cartoon, long time waiting for Disney, to come up with an up-to-date theme in one of their amusement parks. In summary, good job Pixar, you get an outstanding thumbs-up.
Definitely worth watching, but... by annihilation ,Nov 11 '04
Pros: Frozone, Syndrome and the scene where Helen gets to see the family's new costumes! Cons: Generally boring characters. Wished Mrs. Incredible would've been decapitated to avoid hearing her voice further.
... who was the genius who picked lisping Holly Hunter to be the voice of Helen Parr (aka Mrs. Incredible)? Five of us went to see the movie and afterwards all sort of spontaneously started talking about how distracting it was--especially because animators always try to "do" the actor's facial expressions (and mouth) on the cartoon character. The result was a very unrealistic (think Andy in the first "Toy Story" movie) mouth for one of the characters--and a main character, so you have to see it a lot. Syndrome, the bad guy, is the only one of the cast with a discernible personality. Now go see it!
Another Pixar Hit! Humor Both Adults and Children Will Enjoy. by nlucaso ,Nov 06 '04
Pros: Great story line and lots of laughs! Cons: May be slow in spots for young children.
I will be seeing this movie again. And I will be asking for the DVD for my birthday next year! "The Incredibles" movie offers a more complex storyline which differs from the formula typically used in previous Pixar animations. Adults will enjoy and identify with the real life struggles we often face with family, spouses, work, and home-life, very much like a drama. But Bird does a great job balancing that with humor both adults and kids will appreciate. With that being said, this movie is FUN! The action is thrilling, much like a James Bond-type flick without the sex. The dialog is smart, and the animation is incredible...no pun intended.
When the movie ended the whole theater gave a thunderous round of applause and a few "whoo-hoo's!"
incredibles are incredible! by meganisonfire ,Mar 22 '05
Pros: It was a very good movie meant for older teenagers in my opinion, funny, cute Cons: The mother's voice kind of irritated me. She shouldn't of had a country accent..
I recently rented this movie from blockbuster a few days ago. I wasn't interested in really watching it or purchasing it because I do not have any kids or anyone younger to enjoy it with, but when I watched it my opinion changed. The movie was more for teenagers in my opinion because of the language and innuendos the movie contained. All-in-all it was cute, with funny spoofs throughout. My favorite part had to be the ending, but if you haven't seen it I'm not going to give it away. hehhee...
The Incredibles: A Movie for kids and Adults by juliefsc ,Nov 10 '04
Pros: characterization, fast paced Cons: unnatural ending
I am going to begin by saying that I enjoy Pixar movies, and "The Incredibles" did not let me down. The characters are dynamic, and are characters that both children and adults can relate to. This, in fact, was probably the only children's film that I have gone to see in which the children were engaged and quiet for the entire movie. The effects are great, but it is truly the characters and the action packed plot that makes this a wonderful movie. This is a movie that both critics and "real" people will love. According to the IMDB website, this movie is ranked in the top 200 movies of all time. (Rated by "real" people!)
Pros: Fun and action packed - a family of superheroes Cons: We loved it so much we wish they had made a sequel
Fun! Fun! Fun! This movie is great! A family of Superheroes for us to love. We love watching this movie as much as our kids. What adult doesn't laugh at the aging superheros checking out their pot belly and big thighs. Kids can also relate to the child superheros. What kid doesn't wish he or she could just disappear in an embarrassing situation or even be a wee bit naughty and put a tack on the teachers chair without being caught. Of course when you have good guys you have to have bad guys too. You expect it but it's still great when good wins in the end. Fun and action packed. It's one of our favorites for family movie night.
The Incredibals... absolutly incredible by colton_survey ,Nov 17 '04
Pros: Amazing graphics. Great story line. Fun for all ages. Cons: Some things go a little over the top, but still in a fun way.
This is a devishly fun, yet sinical look at a world where the superhero era runs into some problems. Older age, family life, and the urning for days past plegue our aging super hear (Mr. Incredible). After an incodent involving his 'greatest fan in the world' Mr. Incredible is in for an adventure that will change his, and his familys, life forever.
Pros: Great for kids and Adults alike. A must see movie. Cons: None.
Finally! A superhero who is like the rest of us. He eats too much- so he can't fit into his suit. He gets angry sometimes-who doesn't? Of course, with PIXAR making the movie, you know it has to be excellent. My kid sister and I went to see this in the movies, and loved it. When we got done watching it, she asked me, "You are going to buy it when it comes out, aren't you?"
I had to tell her of course, because it is really good. The special powers that the children have are great. Doesn't every kid want to be invisible sometimes? And to be the fastest kid in the world-wow!
I won't spoil the story line by saying anything about the youngest child- but he is adorable, too.
The Incredibles: A Good Family Movie by qtjen19 ,Jan 04 '05
Pros: Great new concept, family movie, lots of laughs Cons: Slightly long
This was definitely not the typical movie that I would want to spend nine bucks to watch, but after the rave reviews from many of my friends, I decided I'd try it out. I was extremely surprised by the movie. I found it delightful and enjoyable, and definitely an interesting new concept. The idea of retired superheroes trying to come back and save the world was hilarious and the characters, especially Elastic Girl, was definitely a great deviation from the typical superheroes we think of. Definitely a good movie to enjoy with friends and family!
Pros: Family movie, Funny, and includes Superheroes - where can you go wrong? Cons: I didn't like that they hid their powers for so long into the movie.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I saw all the previews, and thought-"That doesn't even look appealing". My husband dragged me to go see it, and I was very pleasantly surprised. It was very funny, cute, and memorable. I would recommend this movie to anyone, including children. The plot was well thought out, and you are able to identify with the family trying to hide their secret in the beginning. (Every family has something to hide!)
Pros: Great effects, nice story Cons: Nothing. Just a great child - movie
Mr. Incredible, known super hero, his wife Helen, the famous rubber woman and their three children are forced by the Witness Protection Program to live a simple and calm life, hiding their special abilities forever. But Mr. Incredible is bored stiff as a normal person and he will seek the chance for a super mission. Result : the super hero family will fall in a well organized trap.
Incredible movie, great work by Disney by aseberle ,Dec 28 '04
Pros: Animation A+, Storyline B, Characters and their designs A+. Cons: Plot was predictable.
The Incredibles is the best Disney movie I have seen since The Lion King. My applause goes to the team of animators and writers who put this amusing movie together. This movie teams together a crew of superheroes and has them working as a team sending them out on various missions. However, the team has retired from their super jobs and are working in jobs that all of them despise. When the villain comes in, they are recalled to duty and perform much like an old machine, they get the job done, but it takes them forever because different members of the team go missing. It is like a cartoon version of the X-men and the Brady Bunch. Good movie.
Pros: Great voice talents, amazing animation, and stellar comedy Cons: Slightly long toward the end...
Another masterpiece from Pixar! Great voice talents, amazing animation, and stellar comedy. A must-see for families, couples, or just by yourself. Great story line with great humor. This movie gets a little long toward the end but is an overall great movie!
Went in with a frown, came out with an INCREDIBLE grin on my face! by brinleymooney ,Nov 23 '04
Pros: Never ever boring. Cons: Too long for little kids to sit still.
I have to admit, I was going to the movies to see The Polar Express, but when I found out it was sold out, I agreed to see The Incredibles instead. I was a little skeptical, thinking it was going to be too juvenile for me to enjoy, wrecking my Saturday afternoon. Well I was wrong- I LOVED IT!!! It was full of jokes that would pass over childrens' heads and make me laugh out loud. I recommend it to anyone, any age, and it was well worth my $10.25 and a whole Saturday afternoon!
The Incredibles not so incredible.... by pfct10nail ,Nov 15 '04
Pros: Great animation! Good story but didn't finish storyline.
Voices are great! Cons: Felt a few drag places in the movie thought it could have been much better.
I saw this movie this weekend with high hopes. I needed a good laugh... but I didn't get it with this movie. This movie is a cute movie it just could have been better. If I had taken a younger child with me I think they would have loved it. It dragged in places and I caught myself watching the girl next to text messaging her friends on a few rows ahead of us. I think the movie had a great idea, it started strong and there are a few funny parts but I think the producers/writers dropped the ball. It could have been taken to that next level... being funny. Would I go and see it again? Well let's just say I can't wait till comes out on video.. Great movie for little ones, it's ok for adults to suffer oh I mean sit through.
The Incredibles, not that incredible by ads2206 ,Dec 13 '04
Pros: Exciting at times, can keep adults entertaines as well as the children Cons: gets rather boring after a while
Well of we went to watch this animated film with our young nephew in tow, an excuse really!! The film started and we had high expectations, top class animation, good story line but long storyline. For the first 45 minutes we were intrigued but slowly and surely my mind began to wander, as did the four year old beside me. A good film but just be prepared to hear from the young ones, "is it over yet?" or "I want to go now"
Bob Parr and his wife Helen used to be among the world's greatest crime fighters, saving lives and battling evil on a daily basis. Fifteen years later...More at HotMovieSale.com
