 A fun movie, but not a favorite December 18, 2007
This movie was enjoyable, but it did not hold my kids attention as other similar movies have. It is amusing and has a lot of action, so its a good movie for long car rides.
 The Incredibles December 9, 2007
Another great movie for the family. It is about an animated super hero who has to make changes in his life and the struggle to be a good dad and family man. Great movie for everyone to watch.
 The Art of Nuance November 27, 2007
The Incredibles is nothing short of the standard suggested by the title. Every aspect of the film is a study in the art of nuance. Careful attention to detail contributes to a fast-paced, humorous adventure that not only plays as a straight story, but takes a fun look at the genres of comic book heroes, society's quirks, and the trials of being (super)human. Buy it, rent it. Enjoy!

You'd love this movie if you are really really bored, with absolutely nothing better to do.
A Standard-Setter among Animated Films November 8, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Brad Bird's "The Incredibles" is, I think, the best film ever produced by Pixar, and ranks tight up there with the greatest animated films ever produced or distributed by Pixar's partner, Disney. It is a standard by which all other past, present and future animated films will be measured.
Not only is it superb in terms of its technical quality, but the story it tells is rich, compelling, and interesting: a real heartwarming tale about the challenges, importance and dynamics of being in a family, wrapped up in an action packed superhero story that is - lets face it - really fun to watch! It is a story filled with humor that children and their parents will appreciate on many different levels, with life lessons clearly being taught, but presented in a way that is not too pushy, and which the almost nonstop action is not allowed to obscure.
I could go on and fill in the story's details, as many of my predecessors have done here (in other reviews), but I think all that really needs to be said is that if you're looking for a modern CGI-based animated film that the whole family will love, and which works as well as (or better than) even the greatest of the classic animated Disney films, this is it.
Much of the Bonus DVD material is fun, even hilarious, and gives valuable insight into the film's storyline and themes, as well as making it clear how much care was put into its production. Even so, I was a little bit disappointed in a couple of spots: being left with a feeling of "isn't there more?" It also seems that some of the bonus material was put there just to fill space, included without the care and careful consideration that went into the movie itself.
One disappointment was Brad Bird's comment in one interview, where he discusses the scene where Mr. Incredible sneaks onto the grounds of Syndrome's secret Island base at night, then conks a guard with a well thrown coconut. When first conceived, the CGI artist who did the scene initially presented it in several alternative versions. Mr. Bird says all of the alternatives were wonderful, creative, and funny, and that he hoped they would be included as extra material when the DVD came out. Those alternatives are missing from the bonus DVD, which leaves me a little miffed, but not enough to reconsider the 5 star rating I'm giving this DVD - since I'd give it a 5 star rating even if the bonus material were not present!
All in all, a wonderful movie, with a companion DVD that, despite some minor disappointments, really helped me appreciate the film even more than I did to begin with!
