You know how Pixar always has a short funny cartoon the precedes their movies? Well, the short film before The Incredibles is far from funny. It is annoying as hell. It is like riding on the "It's A Small World After All" boat ride at Disneyland. So, if you rent this movie, don't bother watching the intro-cartoon. That being said, I can now talk about the real film.
I really never was interested in seeing The Incredibles because it always looked to me like a boring predictable cartoon for little kids. It turns out that it wasn't boring, predictable or for little kids. Sure, the little ones would probably enjoy it, but it didn't have the annoying slapstick comedic gimmic of a character hitting his head on something as a joke that is supposed to be funny.... Actually, the movie probably did have one of those in it, but overall the movie isn't that kiddyish. It's not really made to be that funny for adults either though. It didn't seem like it even really tried to be funny. The Incredibles is more like a semi-goofy version of Captain Planet, or some other show about super heroes and action. That's what made it entertaining. There were amazing CGI graphics and beautiful renderings of so many scenes. The plot wasn't nearly as predictable as you would expect either. All this together made it an entertaining film to watch, but that doesn't necessarily make it a good movie. The film lacked substance, originality and humor. Sure, it was interesting to watch the animation and wonder what would happen next, but overall this movie just didn't have the feel a great movie has. Pixar, you peaked with Toy Story.
3 stars
