Incredibles 2 may not pack the usual signature “Pixar Punch” that sends stock in Kleenex skyrocketing, but the movie’s themes are formulated with deft wit, proper prudence, and enough meaningful magic.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 4, 2023

The superhero genre has come a long way since the original in 2004... yet it is a credit to Brad Bird’s script and filmmaking style that Incredibles 2 feels like the perfect superhero movie for this particular time. Pixar’s best sequel since Toy Story 2

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 10, 2022

It's everything we've waited for and wanted in a follow-up to Bird's 2004 original, instantly making the fourteen-year interim seem like a blip in animation history.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 11, 2022

It's a master at work with the family that put him on the map.

The voiceover work is fantastic. The animation is top-notch, and all the action scenes feel so much more gritty and intense than the first movie.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Aug 17, 2021

Incredibles 2 delivers on as much adventure, joy, hilarity, and empathy as its prequel, and all while keeping it centred on its examination of contemporary family life.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 16, 2021

A visually stunning film, especially when director Brad Bird uses old-style cartoon animation for a fight sequence...

| Aug 13, 2021

Miraculously manages to be worth the fourteen year wait, and even if you end up still preferring the original, this sequel stands quite tall on its own.

| Original Score: 4.5 / 5 | Jun 24, 2021

So Pixar sequels aren't going anywhere, but if they're all as charming and playful as this one, maybe that's okay?

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 28, 2021

A superhero movie that's as perfectly fun as this is a lot more welcome right now than one that's filled with existential dread.

| Feb 19, 2021

Even in its messy storytelling, it's undeniably fun to revisit this comical take on the Fantastic Four, which gains lagging newness yet welcome nostalgia.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 7, 2020

Pixar is firing on all cylinders with a Marvel-caliber super hero movie.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 4, 2020

Feels downright demeaning to children.

| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 12, 2020

In a movie brimming with girl power, writer/director Bird sees brawny bruiser Mr Incredible benched and Elastigirl and her more discerning approach to vigilante heroics put in the electric motorcycle-driving seat.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 19, 2020

I'm so glad we were given a well structured, thought provoking and thoroughly entertaining sequel that didn't exist just to cash in on a franchise name.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 3, 2020

[It's an] entertaining but exhausting feature so hopped up on Pixy Stix that emotions feel like molasses in comparison.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2020

It doesn't try to be funny, it just effortless is. It's a heartfelt joy with a commendable stab at social commentary. A roller coaster of a ride this is one sequel and superhero movie that beats the enemy with graceful joy.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 22, 2020

This is a by-the-numbers redux of the first Incredibles movie - it's fun to watch, but it's too predictable to be truly gripping.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 18, 2020

It's nice to see that the fourteen year wait was worth it.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 9, 2020

It turns out that there not only is a place for such a richly animated work like Incredibles 2, but that it seems almost imperative that it exists to remind us that it's not impossible for these films to have a beating heart behind the chest emblem.
