After years of waiting and much begging from fans, Incredibles 2 is finally here.<\/p>\n
Picking up where the previous film left off, the Parr family still face the issue of \u201csupers\u201d being illegal and are forbidden from using their superpowers.<\/p>\n
That is until they, along with their superpowered friend Lucius\/Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson), are approached by Winston Deavor (Bob Odenkirk), a telecommunication tycoon and superhero fan.<\/p>\n
Winston offers to help revamp the \u201csupers\u201d public image and make them legal again.<\/p>\n
To do this, Helen Parr\/Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) is tasked with fighting crime as a publicity stunt, whilst Bob Parr\/Mr Incredible (Craig T. Nelson) is given the job of taking care of the Parr kids.<\/p>\n
Neither of the parents\u2019 tasks are easy. Bob must help Violet (Sarah Vowell) with her boy troubles, Dash (Huck Milner) with his homework, and deal with baby Jack-Jack (Eli Fucile) and his new assortment of powers. Meanwhile, Helen finds herself up against the Screenslaver, a new and mysterious villain who can control people through screens.<\/p>\n
Considering it has been about 14 years since the first Incredibles, its sequel was certainly no disappointment.<\/p>\n
With the multitude of superhero films that have been released in recent years, Incredibles 2 was able to make itself stand out thanks to its focus on the Parrs\u2019 family dynamics.<\/p>\n
The plot was engaging for a family film and the animation was excellent, especially for the fight scenes.<\/p>\n
The humour was a highlight throughout, particularly in scenes involving Jack-Jack\u2019s powers.<\/p>\n
My one complaint relates to Bob\u2019s\u00a0character at the movie\u2019s beginning.<\/p>\n
He comes off as a jerk here and seems to have lost any character development from the first movie.<\/p>\n
Gratefully, this doesn\u2019t last long and he becomes better.<\/p>\n
Overall, worthy of a trip to the cinema these school holidays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
