Incredibles, The (2004) > Reviews

Advantages: passes a wet Sunday evening quite pleasantly
Disadvantages: none really

First of all I would like to state that The Incredibles has never been at the top, or anywhere else, of my list of "must see" films but it rained all day on Sunday and small person was bored. We've already "done" Santa's Grotto so were struggling to think of something to entertain him when a trailer advertising The Incredibles popped on to the tv screen. Of course there was no quietening him now and he begged, pleaded and whined to be taken to see ... Read review

Advantages: Funny, clever, imaginative, entertaining
Disadvantages: Umm...it's not free? Not much else

I’m a fan of Pixar’s films, and the Dreamworks ones too. Ever since Toy Story pioneered the feature-length computer-animated format, I’ve been hooked. <A short history of the genre> I was sceptical about Toy Story. It’d be a kids film, with graphics and animation that’d just about pass as acceptable for kids – but be inadequate for my own discerning eye. Boy, was I in for a shock. Pixar were smart enough to know that the quality of the animation ... Read review

Advantages: You name it, its got it
Disadvantages: The costumes - yeah, sorry!

...this film is called The Incredibles, because to tell you the truth, after you've seen this film, the first words out of your mouth will certainly be "That was just INCREDIBLE"! I am totally confident that your kids will enjoy it, and if you don't have any kids, you shouldn't be embarassed to go see it anyway - I can assure you that you'll have a great time watching this film with or without kids alongside you. Unreservedly recommended for young and ... Read review

Advantages: animation makes it all possible
Disadvantages: villan thinks hes so clever

...about this little film the Incredibles, somehow managing to miss all the hype and images on billboards, magazines, comics, papers, TV shows etc. The mail film critic exclaimed in a typically measured fashion "This is surely the greatest family film of all time!". Well he's been wrong before. After all, this is the same man who jumped head over heels for 'The Grudge' released earlier this year, saying it was one of the scariest films ever made (to ...

Advantages: brilliantly animated, voiced and very entertaining
Disadvantages: not really aimed at younger kids so it maybe a tad too long

The Incredibles Lets not get too cheesy and lets avoid using the dreaded adjectives “fantastic,” “amazing,“ and “incredible” to describe Pixar’s latest offering. One thing for sure is this movie has definitely hit the bull’s-eye. Pixar and Brad Bird had a lot to live up to after the visually spectacular Finding Nemo but they have not let no-one down with their latest offering especially that it was targeting adults and older children rather ...

Advantages: Story, cast, visual effects, and most of everything
Disadvantages: This is not a diss. its more of.. I was left wanting more.

Pick Pixar and Youll End Up with an "INCREDIBLE" Movie (This review was originaly posted in epinions.com on Nov 15 '04 and can also be found in associatedcontent.com and now also here..) There Is Nothing Like It To watch a great movie is like having a delicious dinner. You are greatly anticipating eating what you expect to be a great meal. Then when you actually begin to start eating, you enjoy the meal even more with every bite. ... Read review

Advantages: Very entertaining...
Disadvantages: ... not_as funny as_it should be, doesn't have_the magic or charm of previous PIXAR movies.

...lot more violence in The Incredibles, and some children (and obviously parents) have not been too happy about this. Due to the nature of the plot I guess this was largely unavoidable but it will put off some parents from letting their children watching it. It's certainly not gory, but there are a lot of explosions and bullets flying around. More worrying to me was the fact that the children in the audience when I saw it seemed to find the most violent ... Read review

Advantages: You will have some fun
Disadvantages: None

...of passion for her job. The Incredibles, written and directed by Brad Bird is the latest Pixar, Disney offering. You may already have seen Brad's previous work with The Iron Giant, another very nice animation. The Incredibles is set in the 50's, and is two hours of pure fun. The voices include, Jason Lee, Samuel L Jackson, Craig T. Nelson and Holly Hunter. Parents beware, there is some violence in this animated movie, though it is rather low key, ... Read review

Advantages: Humour, animation
Disadvantages: The hype

...the main character in The Incredibles, the most hyped film of the year … true enough, it’s been hype of a fairly low kind, an almost cultish drooling hype which is intended to just entice you into its loving embrace, just long enough until it can get a good hard grip of you so that you can’t get away and smother you with its SUPER kisses… It’s a phenomenally attractive promise of hedonism and joy, supremely self deprecating, lightly watchable and ...

Advantages: The best animation so far
Disadvantages: Not realistic enough (graphics wise)

...and Pixar animation called the Incredibles, this film is one for the whole family with comedy and action, Brad Bird (writer, actor, director) and Mark Andrews (story board design) have come together to edit and delete scenes to get the final draft that we see today! Characters Robert (Bob) Parr/Mr Incredible Voiced by actor Craig.T.Nelson, Bob is a strong and muscular character on the outside but week on the inside, "I'm not strong enough ... Read review

Advantages: Highly entertaining, a movie for all, irrespective of age, sex, creed or colour
Disadvantages: Its so good, it makes you want to see it again!

I am sure everyone reading this will by now be familiar with the storyline: superhero gets sued for saving someone's life; superheroes go into retirement to save the government paying out on more damages claims; master villain appears on the scene and the superheroes decide to come out of retirement, put on their costumes and fight the evil genius. In a nutshell that is what the film is all about - it doesn't sound that appealing though, does it? Well, ... Read review

Advantages: Pixar and Disney, need I say more?
Disadvantages: A little slow at the start.

Meet Mr. Incredible, Elastagirl and their kids Dash, Violet and Jak Jak – together they create the Incredibles. A superhero family. This is a fun animation by Pixar and Disney. With such recent hits as Finding Nemo, great things were expected by the release of this next venture, and boy was it not a let down. The background of the story basically goes that Mr. Incredible the ‘coolest’ superhero around falls for Elastagirl, a marriage made in ... Read review
