The Incredibles 2
Sequel to Disney/Pixar's 2004 box office crushing CGI action-adventure. Oscar-winning writer-director Brad Bird returns, alongside fellow Academy Award-winner Holly Hunter (voicing Elastigirl). Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible) is left to care for Jack-Jack while Helen (Elastigirl) is out saving the world.
It's a tough transition for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack’s emerging superpowers. When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson) must find a way to work together again.

flicksSince the release of The Incredibles in 2004, the idea of a movie examining a world where the general population has turned against superheroes has evolved from an interesting concept to writing that borders on hackneyed and clichéd. Directors Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan explored these sentiments most memorably – in Watchmen and The Dark Knight, respectively – pondering ideological and bureaucratic matters that might turn people against their protectors.

flicksIf Incredibles 2 hadn’t been 14 years late in the making, and there wasn’t a superhero movie coming out every other month, it’d could easily have been The Road Warrior of the Pixar stable. I’d be lying if genre fatigue hasn’t scrubbed a little freshness off the franchise.
The Incredibles 2 (Official Review)
The Incredibles 2 proves and shows the original Disney gold. Laughter, Action, Fun. It just feels like a true hearted Disney film. I also love how it carries on straight from the First Film. There were some downsides to the film though: it was overtimed, it was a bit slow paced. But other from those minor issues, it thought it was a classic Disney movie.

pressBrad Bird's The Incredibles 2 is, much like its predecessor, delightful as an animated feature but really, really delightful as a superhero picture.
Variety
pressWhat was organic, and even obsessive, in the first outing comes off as pat and elaborate formula here.
The Guardian
pressBird seizes on a key insight: healthy families can reconstitute themselves and come out better for it. Healthy sequels can, too.
Rolling Stone
pressThis follow-up is every bit the start-to-finish sensation as the original, and Brad Bird's subversive spirit is alive and thriving. Like its Oscar-winning predecessor, The Incredibles 2 doesn't ring cartoonish. It rings true.
New Zealand Herald
pressThis is the most bountiful visual feast seen yet in a year full of bountiful big-screen feasts.
Los Angeles Times
pressThough it would be unrealistic to expect "Incredibles 2" to have quite the genre-busting surprise of the original, it is as good as it can be without that shock of the new - delivering comedy, adventure and all too human moments with a generous hand.
Hollywood Reporter
pressIncredibles 2 certainly proves worth the wait, even if it hits the target but not the bull's eye in quite the way the first one did.
FilmInk
press...while briskly and breezily enjoyable, The Incredibles 2 lacks the poppy freshness of its predecessor.
