The Incredibles (2004)

The first of two Pixar films robbed of an Oscar nomination for best picture. THE DARK KNIGHT may be the granddaddy of superhero films (as I myself called it) but THE INCREDIBLES is it’s grand-father’s father’s daddy.

The Incredibles — 10

So what? We had a Pixar day and sat down to watch a bunch of Pixar Movies. It was way more than I was expecting, but it was a day full of awesomeness.

Now the first time I saw this I was not impressed with it. I was in my “WTF? This isn’t a real comic book super hero thing! They are just ripping off all the good heroes!” phase. But I gave up on that this time around and found this movie to be wayyyyyy cooler the second time around without that old way of thinking.

I greatly appreciated the opening. It all made it seem like if there were actually super heroes in the world; this was exactly what would happen to them. Not exactly like the X-Men but close enough to see that they based the idea of the movie off of it.
The other thing that got to me was how well all of the family members used their powers together. It was amazing really. Every time they did something together it was more awesome than the last time. I also like how in depth they went into each person powers with the little amount of time that the movie ran for.

The ‘Villain’ was not that bad either. I liked his back story and it fit in very well with the story, not to mention that it was voiced over by Jason Lee. I love that bastard.

The ending actually left it wide open for a sequel, but in this case it was quite alright. It made it feel like the call for superheroes is never ending, so it all worked out nicely.

All in all, this movie is great, just like everything Pixar does and I cannot wait to see what they come out with next.

Base Score = 8
+1 for Pixar
-1 for ripping off other super heroes in comics
+1 for an awesome opening
+1 for team power usage
+1 for Jason Lee
= 10/10
