The
Incredibles 2 (3/10)
They
released The Incredibles 2 on Netflix and I was super excited to
watch it. Then I watched it and felt like “Okay. That was
definitely a sequel.” It did not have the same emotional impact on
me as the first film had which I loved. It takes something special
for me to like a CGI movie these days and the fact that I liked the
first one so much surprised me. I went into this not knowing the plot
or anything. It starts off right where the previous film left off
which I think hurt it. That means that there have been no other
adventures as a family fighting crime or character growth. Remember,
the first movie came out in 2004. That is fucking fifteen years ago!
So the fact that this picks right on up gave me the vibe I get when I
see that shows like The Simpson's are still on and nothing has
changed in regard to the ages of characters.
After
defeating the villain that appears at the end of the first movie the
family is arrested and the daughter accidentally reveals her identity
to a boy she likes. His brain is erased but it also erases the memory
of her. The mom gets hired by a guy whose father loved superheroes
and wants them legal again. The father has to stay at home and take
care of the kids while his wife has adventures which he is jealous
of. A group of heroes from around the globe are brought in. A new
villain is using mind control on folks. The son that runs fast is a
reckless psychopath. The family discovers that the baby has powers and is super OP. I
forgot that they didn't know...because it has been fifteen fucking
years. The new villain and the reveal was so not a surprise that I
was more surprised by the fact that they waited so long for the
reveal. The first movie had a personal story that was fun and had a
connection. This money just felt like a cash grab. In the end no one
learned anything and they could make another one in 2030 that picks
up where this one left off. The voices were done well. It looked
good. But the story was just weak and it felt too long.
