Advantages: Great effects, story and as good as any other similar film Disadvantages: Characters were a little thin
As someone who watches a lot of movies, I have to say this one is a complete classic. Pixar have outdone themselves, with a film in this genre only matched I think by the incomparable - Toy Story. The animation/cgi throughout is breathtaking, and at times seems to be moving so fast its ridiculous, but still loooks great. My son is 4 and he thought it was great, but after we bought the DVD he still prefers Toy Story and Scooby Doo. Maybe this is because ... ...Scooby/Shaggy. Something that threw me a little was the soundtrack. It sounds in large part like a Bond movie!, which was a little disconcerting. The story basically involves our world being inhabited by a number of super heroes who have special powers. Mr Incredible is the head of a family of super heroes, and one day he rebuffs a young kid who wants to be like him. Later on the 'kid' becomes the bad guy, and goes about wiping out all of the super ...

Advantages: Entertaining and funny Disadvantages: Not all so original
Pixar are great in my opinion, they have created films quite recently that are already regarded as classics, such as Toy story and Finding Nemo. This film is just what you expect from pixar: high quality animation and humour.
The idea for the film isn't all as original as pixar's other attempts, however, it still comes to be a thoroughly entertaining film, which anyone can enjoy- unless you have some sort of allergic reaction to cinemas.
The story ... ...from the usual: 'we are super heroes and there is a bad guy who wants to have global domination or something like that.'

Craig T. Nelson ...Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible

Advantages: Hillarious and Great Fun Disadvantages: None
I bought this film thinking it was only funny for my boys, but on one afternoon between Christmas and New Year I sat them down and told them I was going to watch this dvd with them. I was hooked from the start, this dvd is totally funny and I howled all of the way through it. If anyone has a very sad sense of humour and loves the likes of the Simpsons then this dvd is great. If not then I suggest you watch it anyway, it is soo funny that I dare you ...

Well i have to say i thought this film was fab!! I watched it with my little girl because she had seen it once already and had ranted on about how good it was.

I have seen it a total of 3 times already.Excellent film, funny charachters and i would definately advise everyone ...

Will they succeed in destroying their nemesis? Will they be accepted as superheroes again? I TOTALLY dug the vibe throughout the movie. With the initial Batman vibe as Mr. Incredible makes his way throughout town saving lives and helping people and the later "Fantastic Four" and "Bionic Six" vibe the movie TOTALLY rocked my world.The plot villain is masterfully inserted into the film with a legitimate grudge against our hero and is brilliantly ...

...been wanting to see The Incredibles, the new Pixar movie that features super heros, for months. Mr. Incredible was a well known super hero. He enjoyed helping people. He even took the time to get a cat out of a tree and go after some criminals on his way to marry Helen, who was also the super hero Elastigirl. Helen took some time to fight crime before the wedding too. Soon after they got married, all super heros were forced to stop helping people ... ...were filed against them. The government took care of relocating all the super heros. Fifteen years later, Bob and Helen were living like a normal family with their three children. Helen stayed home to raise the kids and Bob worked for an insurance company. He missed being a super hero though. Their daughter Violet had the ability to become invisible and their son Dash was extremely fast. The baby Jack Jack didn't have any powers. Helen told Violet ...
