THE INCREDIBLES 2

               The Incredibles 2: A Triumphant return for Disney's Superhero family.
Everyone's favorite family of superheroes is back in "Incredibles 2"--but this time Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is in the spotlight, leaving Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell) and Dash (voice of Huck Milner) to navigate the day-to-day heroics of "normal" life. It's a tough transistion for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack's emerging superpowers. When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) must find a way to work together again--which is easier said than done, even when they're all Incredible.
  We had waited for so long for the sequel of this movie and when it finally came, boy did it hit us with brilliance. The strong points of this movie is that it has the strengths of the original prequel and has done some improvements. The movie stayed true to the original animation concepts, the character design remain practically the same save for some few CGI upgrades. It is a noticeable improvement as the characters moved well, the fight sequences were smooth and conversation/ dialogue simulations were smooth and In sync.

Perhaps the only fault we have with the movie is the strength of the conflict, the lack of plot depth and the simplicity of the storyline.we must still mention thag even though The story was lacking in depth, the storytelling was amazing,  the back stories of each character made for a compelling watch. The message behind the story, pushing out the female lead sent a subtle message that the feminists out there would definitely appreciate; and while we are not overly impressed with the choice of the message, we can at least relate with the humour and the humour seeing the stronger sex struggle with coping with family duties. Returning to the conflict, the villain seemed a little too obvious from immediately the Hero legalisation campaign was offered to the family. We knew it had to be one of the two either Winston or Evelyn Deavor, and we were spot on in our prediction. We also noticed the fact that the heroes never returned to the case of the Underminer. It felt a little off that the villain who cost them their lives will be let off the hook throughout the duration of the movie. It didn't go well.
   Baby Jack-Jack had to be the secret weapon of the movie. The big reveal of his power or powers so to say had to be the peak of the movie. His conflict scene with the raccoon was epic, was hilarious and it was overall entertaining. So whereas the Big Villain reveal was anti-climactic, the super power reveal of baby Jack-Jack had go be the climax of all climax.
The conflict was weak, and the conflict resolution was weak as well. The villain was the crux of all problems. The villain's weakness transferred itself to the movie and made the movie weak. The characters were definitely stronger than the villain  and thus it weakened the conflict element. The fight against the villain was boring. In fact the movie deserved a better villain and conflict than it got. The movie was just a message to the world nothing more than that. 

The movie may have been an epic fail had it not been for the few incredible fight scenes and the great amount of humour imbued into this. It kept us interested, it kept us wanting more and it left us smiling and laughing. It's the stuff dreams are made of, and it would have perhaps been in the running for animated movie of the year had it not been for the anti-climactic ending to the movie.
   A good movie, superb humour, great action / fight scenes, not too great conversation, weak plot, weak conflict and zero character development( we are not complaining, as this is a sequel).  It is a family movie, and I will recommend it to every one, both young and adults. The adults will love this for the message while the young will enjoy it for its humour and fight scenes.
  Starring Holly Hunter, Craig T Nelson, Sarah Vowell, Huck Milner and Samuel L Jackson.
Produced by Nicolas Paradine Grindle and John Walker.
Directed by Brad Bird
Production Companies Walt Disney and Pixar Production company.
With a Budget of 200million USD and a box office mojo of 1.240billion USD, the movie has done more than enough to currently rank as the 4th Highest grossing movie of 2018, and the 2nd highest grossing animated movie of 2018, and the 15th highest grossing movie of all time. These are incredible numbers for an animated movie and we are deeply pleased with the job done by the company and the production team. We must mention that it's successes at the Box Office is down largely to the massive success of the prequel and the anticipation the company created by waiting for near over 6 years before releasing a sequel.  The movie itself is not as great as we would have hoped. But all in all, it's a great watch and a Hollywood success story.
 We at FCA will give this one a solid  FCA AppR of 8/10 for humour, content, action sequence and overall character design improvement.
