Incredibles 2

Plot: In a ploy to make Superheroes legal again, Elastogirl goes back to crime fighting while Mr Incredible stays home with the kids, including baby Jack-Jack. Of course it is never that simple, and soon the superheroes are being hypnotized. Can the kids save the day?  [imdb]    [photos]

Review: Incredibles 2 is a comedy and a family story. Like most sequels most of its satire was spent in the original, and now it is a bit warmed over. Still II is still clever, but now it is an action/sitcom.

We get a good dose of superhero home life when Mr Incredible takes care of super-baby Jack-Jack, who keeps developing powers to foil his caregivers.             

Incredibles 2 is a step down from the creative, satirical and family-oriented story of the the first Incredibles movie.

Written and directed by: Brad Bird

The Music: Zippy

The Visuals:  Lively orchestral music by Michael Giacchino, and a capella music by DCappella. I never recognized the a capella music during the film. Perhaps it was deep in the end credits, or I wasn't paying attention. There is a new version of the end-credit sequence called The Incredits 2. I never realized that the end-credit theme from the first movie was such a hit. 

Rating: 2.5 stars: a well-made animated movie; fun, but I won't see it again. 

More: This movie is set 3 months after the end of the previous movie, according to director Bird.
