Maybe 10/10 is a bit exaggerated. However, I watched this movie in 2018 - 14 years after its release. Still, I think this is the best superhero movie I have watched in a long long time. Now just imagine how incredible this must have been 14 years ago. In short, The Incredibles (2004) is an excellent promo for the 2018 movie. :)

Before The Incredibles, Pixar made films like Toy Story, A Bugs Life and Monsters Inc. They've always avoided human focused storylines because of the lack of the technology. But they have got the animation down to perfection here from the facial expressions and character movements. The textures of hair and muscle movements are also a great achievement. Looking back today the animation still looks impressive. There are so many films it pays homage to but to great effect. It's more of a satire of films than a spoof. It mostly deals with comic book films like Fantastic 4 but it actually works as its own movie. It also has a 60s Bond espionage feel to it. These heroes do their work in the shadows like secret agents, our lead character is cool and charismatic and the villain lives in a Volcano. Like every Pixar film before it, it's a cleverly written film because it's not just aimed at kids. It deals with subjects like political commentary, the mundane restraints of work life and letting yourself go. It's a film about family, redemption, rejection and consequences. Some films feel forced whenever they tackle social subjects but the writers manage to balance all of these subjects that work well within the story. The action scenes are really exciting and inventive. There are so many subtle comedic moments and there are some heartfelt ones too. It takes so many risks and it's a surprise to see some of the darker scenes make it into the film. Voice actors Craig T Nelson, Brad Bird, Holly Hunter and Samuel L Jackson each give memorable performances and the exciting music score by Michael Giacchino elevates the action scenes to another level. Stan Lee once said it was the best superhero film he's ever seen, and he wasn't wrong. It puts a lot of superhero films to shame.

Watching this film gets you straight towards entertainment and fun. You really wish to rewatch the movie again! There are some aspects that i didnt like about the film, one of them was villain was hyped all through the film and at the end he came out to be a simple nasty foolish character! But this deserves a 9 because all we want is a good and enjoyable time watching the films! Disney pixar always never fails to entertain most of it's audience

The Incredibles truly is an amazing superhero action flick with the heart only Pixar manages to do. Another great effort by Brad Bird! The characters are so lovely. The mid-life crisis stricken Bob Parr and his family who try to blend into regular suburban lives after some unfortunate events get forced into action after Bob is offered an opportunity to be super again. Craig T. Nelson nails the sound of a tired middelaged father who lives through that midlife crisis while also showcasing intense emotions when someone crosses his limits. Holly Hunter makes Helen Parr/Elastigirl a perfect example of a stern mom trying to keep everything under control. Sarah Vowell does make Violet a nervous teenage girl which fits perfectly and when she bounces off the youthful Dash they become really entertaining. But my favorites were Edna Mode and Buddy Pine/Syndrome. Did you honestly know as a kid that Brad Bird himself did the voice of Edna? I didn't, but now I know and it is so cool! Edna is so funny in her Cruella De Vil-ish attitude and her exaggerated outburst of excitement and other emotions! I was laughing so hard so many times! Syndrome must without a doubt be one of the animated villains with the highest deathcount. Oh god, I just realised how many superheroes he took down to achieve his gold. Such a tragic story of a neglected boy. Jason Lee really nailed his geeky personality, but also made him incredibly manacing when he was doing terrible things. The family aspect of the movie was also handled in a mature way by having both conflicts shown and resolved through the movie's running time. More than once the writers also managed to poke some great fun at existing family tropes which I first noticed when watching the movie recently. Overall, a great superhero action flick, but made incredible with great themes of family.
