November 5th, 2004. Fourteen long years ago The Incredibles came out. The movie was a hit bringing in over 630 Million dollars into the box office. However, the end of the movie left the crowd wondering: What is next?
Well after fourteen years the sequel to this incredible movie came out. As of June 20th, 2018 Incredibles 2 already had over 253 Million dollars made. This is less than a week after the movie was first shown in theaters. It will soon surpass the original movie maybe even sooner than we think. Incredibles 2 follows the original cast with some new heroes and a new villain. As well as a whole different plotline from the original.
A recap on the original plot line was:
"Bob Parr (A.K.A. Mr. Incredible), and his wife Helen (A.K.A. Elastigirl), are the world's greatest famous crime-fighting superheroes in Metroville. Always saving lives and battling evil on a daily basis. But fifteen years later, they have been forced to adopt civilian identities and retreat to the suburbs where they have no choice but to retire as superheroes to live a "normal life" with their three children Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack (who were secretly born with superpowers). Itching to get back into action, Bob gets his chance when a mysterious communication summons him to a remote island for a top secret assignment. He soon discovers that it will take a super family effort to rescue the world from total destruction." -- Anthony Pereyra
Now here are my thoughts on the movie:
Most sequels to movies are worse than the original. Boring, obvious plot line and usually trying but failing to be anywhere near as good as the original movie. However, Incredibles 2 had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Although slightly predictable, (in my opinion the only predictable part was who the villain was, but that depends on the person) it was still a great movie. Not only was it action packed but it was hilarious. Constant laughter filled the theater throughout the film. The movie even showed the characters to be human, making mistakes and struggling with day to day life. In most films the characters are constantly doing things and never have every day problems. However, in Incredibles 2 we see many everyday problems arise. Such as, the baby Jack Jack being as hyperactive as ever, Violet being a hormonal teenager and dash struggling with homework and Bob taking on to much as a father. It just brings the movie to a whole new platform and makes it relatable to the average every day person. The best part about the movie is it takes place only a short three months after the defeat of syndrome. As a matter of fact it takes place right where the original movie ends. It shows you what happens with the underminer but this is just the beginning of the action packed, crime-fighting, super hero movie.
Although I thought this movie was just as good or even better than the original, I hope that readers take the time to see the movie and make their own opinions. I would highly recommend seeing Incredibles 2 just make sure to have your popcorn.
Also, I do not even have a favorite character because every character in the film is unique and funny in their own way.
