The Incredibles review
16 The Incredibles
Rewatch
A Pixar movie. The story of a family of 'supers' who are in hiding after the government forced all 'supers' to give up their vigilante activities less than two decades prior. Specifically, it is the story of Bob Parr (formerly known as Mr. Incredible), who is unsatisfied with his life as a paperpusher and father (especially the former). He is hired by a mysterious individual to fight against some machines, not knowing that he's actually helping a new villian with his plans. His dissatisfaction with his lot is well realized.
The characterisation of his wife and kids are well realized. Helen's struggle to keep her family's 'talents' hidden (along with her suspicions about what he's up to), his daughter's introvertedness and struggles with her own powers, and his son's own troubles are well done. As is the characterisation of the villain. 7.5/10.
