'Incredibles 2' Is One Of The Only Movies I'm Seeing This Summer

I haven't seen the first "Incredibles" movie in a very long time, but I don't remember it being as funny as the second one.

"The Incredibles 2" is one of the most anticipated films of this year, and it didn't (necessarily) disappoint. I do have a few major issues with it, but we'll move on to that in a minute. First, I wanted to talk about a few things that I found incredibly impressive.

Comedy in a children's animated movie is essential; without it, it's unlikely that kids would find this story entertaining. I haven't seen the first "Incredibles" movie in a very long time, but I don't remember it being as funny as the current one.

The best scenes weren't even the ones you'd expect - the dad scenes with Bob and the kids. They were hilarious.

Along with the fantastic comedy, "The Incredibles 2" had a bunch of really creative action and fight sequences. Instead of focusing on Mr. Incredible, or the kids, most of the movie was spent following Elastigirl.

Instead of keeping with the structure of boring brute strength and punch after punch, the audience got to see Elastigirl use her unique powers over and over in different situations.

This allowed the audience to get a better grasp of who she used to be as a young superhero. It gave her character more depth.

The same can be said about Mr. Incredible's character. His identity is centered around his powers and being a hero, so it made sense to put him in an environment he wasn't used to before.

It was a smart move.

The best aspect of this movie, however, was the score. During the most intense scenes of the film, the music was wonderful. It built and shaped the tone perfectly, and I was on the edge of my seat every time the music began to swell.

Even though they did so many things right, and pretty much met the bar of expectations, there were a few major problems that I can't help but point out.

The plot was predictable, cliche, and boring.

I can't say much without spoiling the entire movie, but "Screenslaver"? Are you kidding? I am getting so annoyed with basic storylines that focus on the corruption of technology.

The best I can say about the plot was that it was okay. I watched it twice, and now that I think about it, I couldn't care less about the actual problem and solution of this movie; just give me more dad scenes with Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack.

Speaking of the kids, Dash didn't have any kind of development at all. Violet went through this whole thing with a boy, and came to terms with her identity and family, but Dash just kind of sat there and played the role of "comedic relief."

To be fair, I didn't notice this until one of my friends pointed it out (Riley), but it's still a little disappointing.

Overall, I can't say that I'm underwhelmed with the final result that is "The Incredibles 2," but it took them 14 years to come up with what they did, so I'm still going to hold a tiny grudge. Definitely go see it if you haven't already, it's one of the best Pixar sequels that I've seen.

Also, if you're into videos about film analysis and explanation, I highly recommend watching Wisecrack's video about "The Incredibles 2." Link to the video below.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
