Incredibles 2 (Bird, 2018): USA

Reviewed by Matheus Clorado.

Related image The long-awaited Pixar sequel for 2004’s The Incredibles makes its debut not short of stretches. Once again written and directed by Brad Bird, who succeeded in sweeping two Academy Awards (Best Animated Feature and Best Sound Editing) for the first installment during the 77th annual ceremony, the core concept is the same duelling between right and wrong, hide and fight.

In a vast sea of super-hero movies, Bird was surely faced with the challenge of making his take on the subject stand out, which he absolutely did- evidenced by the titles of second highest-grossing animated feature up to this date and fourth highest-grossing 2018 release, losing the gold and silver medals to the Marvel installments of Avengers and Black Panther.

Incredibles 2 continues to focus on family values and the legal ban on super heroes, nicknamed “supers”. The plot leads us to watch Elastigirl take advantage of a not so rare offer – fight villains on her own with an immense support by a gigantic tech company. All of that comes with the promised glory of becoming the face of hero legalization and also the price of being away from her family duties, leaving the house chores to her husband, Mr. Incredible.

The times are definitely different since 2004 and the witty writing of this feature did not disappoint in addressing many important issues. The media attention and hate speech towards heroes in this story could be considered an allegory to many of the immigration concerns during the last few years in the United States. The ascension of the social media was addressed in one of the villain’s speeches – condemning the population’s passiveness to the world around them. The role of Elastigirl as an empowered female leader, perfectly able to solve problems on her own, adds to the feminism conversation. Nonetheless, Mr. Incredible struggling to participate in the raising of his children more actively and emotionally depicts the shift in the American family model, also a recent discussion.

Despite the packed social content, Incredibles 2 still develops the story a level up, building on the emotional motivation of its characters and their relations to each other. It’s still not a massive development, perhaps purposefully left to a sequel hopefully to be released sooner than fourteen years in the future.

All in all, Baby Jack absolutes steals the show giving the fans what they’ve anticipated and hoped for during the big hiatus. This sequel remains an amazing family movie, its content’s depth intactly packed between the clever lines and designed symbolism for the more attentive eye.

It’s very fitting that the original target audience for this film grew into adulthood since 2004, and so did the themes and plot lines. You’re spot on regarding the social commentary being relevant to the prejudices and xenophobia that is rampant in the US today. I would be interested to know more about Brad Bird and the cultural context that he is coming from, and why he committed to the messages in this film. The fear of those with superhuman abilities is very familiar from the X-Men series (amongst many other films) but the messaging is so much more digestible for the younger audiences that will watch The Incredibles.

Shelby Kowalski 09.17.19 / 5pm

I was late to the game when it came to the Incredibles; for some reason I never saw it when it was super popular upon its release. Earlier this year when I noticed Incredibles 2 was on Netflix, I went and watched the first one so I could go ahead and see the second. I’m so glad I did! This review is spot on. I enjoyed the focus on Elastigirl and her point of view as a strong leading character. I didn’t expect that going in as it challenges classic narratives where the man is the strong independent one. Socially, I think it’s a really relatable movie. Many people can relate to the struggle of trying to balance home and work life, how difficult it is to leave your family, and how tiring it can be to adjust to playing a new role in the family. Mr. Incredibles journey as a new stay at home dad was a great narrative to include. I never thought about the connection between the way the supers are treated and how immigrants are currently being treated, that’s an interesting point. Often times when going to watch an animation movie, it’s assumed it will be aimed toward children because of the popularity of cartoons among kids. However, with Incredibles 2, I think it’s impressive that Brad Bird was able to create a movie that was engaging and fun for both an older and a younger audience. I agree that the movie ended in a way that felt like a third installment isn’t out of the question.

Shannon Yates 09.27.19 / 6pm

When Incredibles 2 came out in theaters in 2018, I was not in a rush to go see it because most sequels are not as good as the first movie. In this case, I was wrong. Brad Bird did an excellent job with the movie’s screenwriting and animation. Many animated movies are directed towards just younger audiences, but Incredibles 2 is different. There are several clips in the movie where anyone will be able to laugh at. When Jack Jack comes in contact with a raccoon and tries to scare it away with his superpowers is a great example.The review by Matheus Colorado is very well written. I completely agree with the fact that Bird had a challenge of making his film stand out from the rest of the great movies that were released in 2018. The last part of the review is what I agree with most. Without a doubt, Brad Bird created a plot that had strong emotional build up between characters. Audience members are able to see each emotional build up through the dialogue between characters. There are numerous scenes were characters are shouting back and forth, having serious conversations, showing excitement in their voices when the characters are talking, etc. I thought the part of the review that mentioned how times have changed from 2004 to now very interesting. It is unfortunate to hear that this 2018 film received a lot of hate speech towards the heroes in Incredibles 2 because of the immigration disagreements in the United States at this time. I completely agree with this opinion towards the media attention the movie has received.

Nathan Lopez Garcia 10.05.19 / 7pm

I enjoyed watching the first Incredibles movie and it surprised me that they would make the sequel. This movie contains so many aspects and concepts that are relatable to the real world. Although it is an animated movie, the characters have a sense of realism, in which many of us can relate to them. Not to mention that one of the best parts of the movie is the non diegetic element, music. It builds up the atmosphere and emotions, and the iconic soundtrack that creates nostalgia to many of us who have seen the first movie. Incredibles 2 is a great movie that my entire family can enjoy.

Lilli 10.07.19 / 8am

I watched the movie for the first time while visiting in Colombia, and it gave me an interesting take on a lot of the Americanized views, and makes me think about the underlying meanings and jabs this movie hints at as you suggest, “to the more attentive eye”. I really appreciated your response and analysis. I also like that you pointed out the strong female role model, the conversation about the shift of the American home lifestyle, and of course you were right on the nose about Jack Jack stealing the show.
Although I am generally apathetic about superhero movie sequels, I really enjoy the sweet humor in these Pixar movies and the toned down violent nature as opposed to the Marvel movies that keep dominating the box offices.

Alina Henrickson 10.08.19 / 6pm

Matheus Clorado, I thought your review on the Incredibles 2 was well written. The first Incredibles was by far my favorite movie growing up as a child. I would always ask my mom to rewatch it with me. But when I heard that a second Incredibles was coming out I honestly was not very excited because I thought it would never be nearly as good as the first one. However, when I was watching this movie I was amazed with how they focused the movie on Elastigirl and Jack Jack instead of Mr. Incredible again. This movie had an incredible soundtrack that brought back memories from the first movie and when I was watching it I wanted to sing along. This movie is great to watch with family and it is great for all ages. My parents could sit there laughing too. On the down side, I have heard that you should not watch this movie because of the relation to feminism. If you are sensitive to feminism references than I would not recommend this movie to you. On the plus side, I do have to say Jack Jack is the best superhero baby I have ever witnessed!

mayab101 10.11.19 / 11pm

Dear Matheus Colorado,
I really like the way you set up your review on the Incredibles 2 film, I have been waiting so long to see this film since it is in my childhood and I have never been more happy. I really liked this film since it brought back a lot of memories in my childhood so it made me really happy. When it first came out I did not run to the movies to see it because I knew I would be more happy and comfortable to watch it on my home because if I were in the movies I would probably cry and bother the other children who probably have never seen the first film. I think it was a great ideal moment for them to mainly focus their scenes on baby Jack since he was a baby and his super powers did not really come out until the sequel. It was a big thing for baby Jack to start dealing with his powers. Overall this film was good in my opinion and it makes me happy that there are still many people out there who are also glad this sequel had came out.

Jaclyn Osborne 10.14.19 / 10pm

I loved how Clorado incorporated the possibility that the film’s features could be an allegory to immigration concerns during this time. He compares it to the media attention and hate speech towards heroes. The first film used to be my favorite movie as a child, so it is nice to see it in many different perspectives and to see the meaning behind it now that I am older. After seeing the second one it is easier to see the emotional motivations of the characters and the relations of each other, as Clorado covers. This review has made me see the real depth of this comedy filled film.

Sinai Miranda 10.15.19 / 10am

When I heard that Incredibles 2 was coming out I was so excited but scared that it wouldn’t live up to everyone’s expectations. I was wrong. It was an amazing animated film that I think exceeded what people expected. I like how the review acknowledges that things have changed since the release of the first movie. For example, they state that the mom is now the main face of the superheroes. The movie shows how she is able to be independent saving people while the dad is now at home taking care of the kids, which would usually be a woman’s “job”. Overall, the film is very well put together. The animation, humor, and story line make for a great family movie that older fans and newer fans are able to fall in love with easily.

Taylor Mayberry 10.15.19 / 11am

I agree with you on all the intended objectives for this film. When I view this film as Social History, I can clearly see where attention was drawn to current issues within society. There was a huge emphasis on feminism in the role switch compared to the first movie in 2004. The film was also a large scale production so it had little room to disappoint for which form and solid content was of utmost importance to the films success.

Marie Strohman 10.16.19 / 10am

I love that you compared parts of this movie to current issues. I also noticed the feminism connection when I watched The Incredibles 2. Especially the fact that Mr. Incredible was having a hard time doing all Mrs. Incredible’s housework. I think this showed that what many spouses think is easy can actually be real work too. I liked this role reversal as it was entertaining but also enlightening. It’s interesting that you said all the talking down to supers could be related to all of the immigration issues going on in the United States. I didn’t think of that but I totally agree. Maybe seeing it in a fictional context will help people realize that it isn’t helpful to talk down to others.

Kenneth Ortiz 10.18.19 / 11am

I think you nailed most of this film perfectly, showing the aspects that I thought was going on too. One thing I wish you would have talked more about was the backgrounds symbolizing what was going on with the characters. When Elasta Girl is in her hotel room feeling isolated and separated from her family as Her husband pretends he has taken over perfectly. They have a painting of what is supposed to be the family in the background and one of them is separated, portraying what she is feeling through the background. This movie for being all animated does an excellent job of lighting and framing what they want you to see and make you fell close to the action. So overall this movie is a great sequel to the first and like the first looks beautiful with out holding back anything they want you to understand feel or think about in their and the real world.

Angelica Heredia 10.18.19 / 5pm

While the Incredibles 2 is such a humorous and family friendly film, it is most definitely not only enjoyed by children. Given the fact that a lot of millennial, who are now adults, grew up with the first film, The Incredibles, this film garnered a lot of attention by children and adults. With that said, it is indeed true that since the showcase of the first Incredibles film (2004), a lot has changed within the film industry. For one, better, more developed technology has allowed filmmakers to merge sound and images even more to create a vivid and realistic experience for the audience. Additionally, the graphics in the second Incredibles movie are much more refined and sharp. The setting, characters, animals, etc. in this film have fine details that could have only made possible through the new technology viable for filmmakers. This is very common in the film industry, as new technology develops, filmmakers and the industry as a whole adapt in order to keep up with the competing market and its consumers. Also, the social conditions in America definitely shape what we see on screen. I really enjoy the fact that you mention how, “the media attention and hate speech towards heroes in this story could be considered an allegory to many of the immigration concerns during the last few years in the United States” and that the role of social media is also used in this film. Historically, one way in which film has been used is to highlight issues within society that the American people can either relate to or think more critically about. Overall I truly enjoyed your review on the Incredibles 2!

Kyle Covarrubias 10.18.19 / 7pm

The “Incredibles 2” was a very great film. I agree that is was long awaited. I agree that it was long awaited because the first one came out when I was a child. I remember being so excited for this film to come out and it did not disappoint. I agree with the film review that there was a lot of social content in this film. I like the examples that they gave in the review. I also think that this film could lead up to another one in the future. Overall, I enjoyed this film and I have seen it more than once.

dkling 10.18.19 / 8pm

Incredibles 2 came as a complete shock to me. Yes this was one of my favorite childhood movies, and sure I was very excited for the sequel to come out but, I was also very nervous. I didn’t know if this film was going to be as good as the first one and I didn’t want that to ruin my entire experience of the movie. However, I ended up being blown away by the outcome of the movie. Overall, I absolutely loved it and I think creator, Brad Bird, did an awesome job of bringing back such a popular movie after so long and being able to successfully please everyone with it. I loved how Jack Jack became the big hit of the movie with the famous scene of him fighting the raccoon. I love how he kept in mind that the people who watched the first Incredibles movie, are now much older, and are still going to want to be the first ones to see the sequel to the film. We’ve always low-key been waiting for this. With this in mind, Bird, addressed and targeted current social issues that older generations can relate to and understand but at the same time can also appropriately entertain the younger audience. In the movie, filmmaker sheds light on a few key subjects such as, feminism, the stigma or banned on super heroes which can be portrayed or relevant to our current immigration issues in our country and also the changing family roles of today’s generations.

BenDixon 10.18.19 / 8pm

I think this film review was very well put together. I like how you were able to kind of compare it to the first movie. I also like how much detail was provided to us to help the readers get a good clue on what this film is like. I also like how some current issues were brought up by you and how the movie was able to include those issues.

michelle car morales 10.18.19 / 9pm

Like most people, when I found out about The Incredibles having a sequel, I was very excited since I grew up watching the first movie. However, I also thought maybe it would not be as good as the first because sequels tend to have bad reps and especially for this movie. The first one being so successful and all. After watching the movie and reading this review, I agree that the director exceeded expectations. The way he developed the characters in the second film was right on and the continuity of the film was easy to follow. Overall the plot was well organized and I enjoyed reading this review and all it achieved.

Jannett Granados 10.18.19 / 11pm

When movies start to do sequels, one can guess that it will ultimately be a hit or miss. Incredibles 2 was extremely anticipated for 14 years and when I went to watch it when it came out, I left the theatre wanting to watch it all over again. The plot of the movie, fit perfectly with the up to date culture that we are currently living in. For example, there was a change in perspective when Ms. Incredible became the one in charge of providing for the family and Mr. Incredible was left to take care of the family. From there, it showed feminism towards women to show that they are capable on taking on the role of a man’s “job”. The character development was captivating to watch. The overall editing and detail of every scene was definitely well thought out from every aspect, which made the film worth waiting for.

tylermunoz 10.18.19 / 11pm

As I waited many years for the sequel of The Incredibles, I was very impressed and satisfied when the sequel came out in 2018. The film’s focus on destiny and optimism was as amazing as it was in the first film. SO many new characters were introduced in this sequel and I loved how they kept all of their original characters in the film as well. Pixar absolutely nailed this movie! It’s my go to when watching cartoon movies! Definitely recommended to all ages!

Abby McCann 10.20.19 / 7pm

This was one film I was highly anticipating and it lives up to my expectations I Thought the animation on the film was very well done. In some scenes It looked real to me. The plot I thought also was very well throughout. This review I enjoyed, I liked the point they made about how this film talks about and represents a lot of social differences, like feminism and changing from calling them superhero’s to supers. Overall this I really enjoyed this film and review

saylor cook1 10.21.19 / 5pm

I went and saw The Incredibles 2 in theaters when it came out. I was super excited because it was one of my childhood favorites. I really enjoyed reading your review on the movie. I think you did a great job comparing themes in the film to society today. Great job!

Chris Caro 10.21.19 / 5pm

For most of us this film brings us back to our childhood, proof of this is when I went to see this movie in theaters. The theatre was mostly filled with people from there 20s or late teens. This was a highly anticipated film taking 14 years for the sequel. I absolutely love this review because he brings up how it all connects with us still today. By looking deeper into the storyline and bringing up relevant topics of female empowerment and other issues today.

peterdawson 10.25.19 / 2pm

I really enjoyed your review Matheus! It is truly “incredible” how the original played so much of a part in my young years, to how relevant the sequel turned out to be. They both focus on family relationship, but I too saw some implicit meaning that related to the worlds major issues at hand. I found it ingenious that they use the protagonists wit, and team work to help defeat the brainwashing media. I feel it is relevant to not only me in my life, but important for the young generation to digest as well. We have to stay on guard of our identities, keep our heads about us, stick together, and remember the things that are really important.

Ramon Torres-Sandoval 03.05.20 / 10pm

The Incredibles 2 was truly a good way to bring back The Incredibles and with an even better focus. This film seemed to focus on the idea that women can be just as amazing as men, if not even better than them! It had a great plot of a man wanting to bring superheroes out of hiding, but showcasing that maybe they can bring them back, later to discover that the one behind illegal activity was the doing of the man’s sister. Greatly tied in together of showing that people do want miracles to happen and sometimes just being realistic and preparing for the worst is the best thing to do. It showcased that women are strong and do not need support of a man, and really it just showed that the women in this film were stronger than men and it does not need a male hero to save the day. Strong movie with a great plot and great message, not everything bad, or good, happens just because of a man.

Jordan 03.06.20 / 8pm

This movie incredibles 2 was a very good film in my opinion I’ve watched all of them and this was the best. It really focuses on how strong a woman can be. It was really an amazing film and it was right from the start. It is tied together and it shows the worlds major issues. This was a strong movie with an amazing message to our audience.

Bridget Perry 03.06.20 / 8pm

Hi, Brad Bird’s “incredible” deep dive into feminism using the cover of a children’s animated comedy is an excellent example of how movies can be used to address important issues in our society. I agree with you that Bird was able to make a successful, witty, and family friendly movie while addressing and proving the struggles and challenges that the average american nuclear family goes through. Ms. Incredible, Elastigirl’s, incredible journey from a trapped but independent minded to being a full and free woman, where for the first time in a while she finally has full control of her life.

jazminacevedo 03.08.20 / 10pm

After almost 14 years the incredibles made a comeback. The first movie was amazing but the animation for the second film was amazing. All the detail that was put in made the film look amazing. I really loved that this film had a way to show real world problems in a sorta type of way. I truly enjoyed watching this film because it was my favorite growing up. After reading your review I really liked how you compared social issues to this film. It made me realize that sometime as kids we don’t get the hidden messages throughout the films, but we learn to appreciate the messages as we get older.

Morgan Maltbie 06.06.20 / 5pm

When I went to watch Incredible 2 with my family we had all realized that most of my cousin’s hadn’t even been born when the first movie came out. That being said, it was a shock of how long it had been since then. I went in just for fun to watch a movie with my family, but coming out of the theatre I was taken aback as to how good the film was overall. Not only was the action captivating and the humor was still there, but they did an excellent job with all the details going in from the costuming to the design of the film. It still maintained it’s super hero topic, but for older kids and adults, it managed to hit deeper down than I think anyone expected. I genuinely enjoyed this film and would watch it again and recommend it to anyone who hasn’t seen it. As for the points you made about the social content, I could totally understand and see all of your comments clearly. I’ve always loved Violet and baby Jack Jack was the cherry on top!

Lucy Truong 06.06.20 / 6pm

Hi Matheus,
I was really impressed with Incredibles 2. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like watching this film but after watching it, I definitely agree with you that Bird brought into the film some real-life problems in a certain way. I really enjoyed reading the connection with the film and how Elastagirl became an image of feminism and how she was able to solve problems on her own. There was some new-found inspiration now, I feel after watching this film. Great job!

Lillie McGuire 06.06.20 / 6pm

I truly like the manner in which you set up your survey on the Incredibles 2 film. I truly enjoyed this film since it brought back a ton of memories from my childhood so it made me extremely glad. At the point when it previously came out I didn’t race to the motion pictures to see it since I realized it would in the end come out on another stage, for example, hulu, netflix, or one of my cinema apps. Inevitably, the film came out and I got the chance to watch it. At the point when I saw Incredibles 2 I was stunned to see the illustrations on the screen contrasted with the first also. I think it was an incredible perfect second for them to principally concentrate their scenes on baby Jack Jack since he was an infant and his super powers didn’t generally come out until the sequel. It was a major thing for Jack Jack to begin managing his forces. In general this film was acceptable as I would see it and it satisfies me that there are as yet numerous individuals out there who are likewise happy this sequel had came out. In the event that you haven’t watched it I unquestionably suggest. It is an incredible family film.

Nico Peluso 06.06.20 / 6pm

Hi Matheus, this review really brings out what Incredibles 2 symbolized at the time of its release and the changes in the United States since the first film. Hate speech, immigration and the shift of the family model, our addiction to social media and female heroes, this review covered a lot of material. The sequel lived up to its hype and was a great film for my family and I to watch. Jack Jack took the stage and I hope Brad Bird creates the Incredibles 3 so the audience can see more of him, but hopefully not in another fourteen years. Great review!

Madison Jaimes 07.16.20 / 8pm

Hello! As someone who was only a child when the first Incredibles came out this long awaited sequel was so exciting to my brother and I. As some comments said I also found it amusing that most of those in line at theaters were the kids who watched it when they were younger now all grown up, myself included. The real world issues and the symbolism brought into this review was exceptional and really looks past the simplicity of a children’s movie. It demonstrates the importance of family, strong women, and so much more. Great review for an equally great film!

Olivia Sanden 07.27.20 / 2pm

After waiting 14 years for a sequel this film had a lot of pressure and high expectations on it from any kid, including me who saw it back in 2004. I was really happy with the result of this film and I’ve seen it a couple of times since it got released. As you mentioned, it definitely picks up and discusses a few important issues like feminism, thinking of how in this film, the mother has a greater role than the actual Mr. Incredible. I liked how you compared other situations in the film to other issues that’s discussed today. It’s good how the creators of this film addressed these issues and included it in the film. Overall, The Incredibles 2 is very entertaining, and let’s hope there’s a third one in the making. Great review!

Olivia Weyland 03.02.21 / 3pm

I love your analysis and would totally agree! The points you brought up about relating super hero issues to immigration issues in the real world is something I never would have thought of and I think it’s a great connection. I loved the film, especially the silly aspects regarding Baby Jack and his new discovery of his powers and how to manage them. I also loved that Ms. Incredible was to become the face of super heroes as I feel women in all movies, not just cartoons, aren’t depicted as the strong humans they truly are.

Esther Kim 03.04.21 / 12pm

I feel like a lot of people have awaited this sequel, especially the ones who have seen the first Incredibles as a kid. I really enjoyed reading your analysis of the film. You gave a perfect layout of what the narrative is and also made connections to real-life problems. What I liked most about this sequel is that they made Ms. Incredible the main hero. It changed up the gender roles we have in society. Overall, this is a great analysis of the film because you summarized what it was about but also made connections to real-life problems, making it easier for the audience to understand and connect. Great review!

Susana Espinosa 07.10.21 / 1pm

I completely agree with this review as Incredibles 2 offers a revamped version of the similar story we got in the original. I also think part of the reason this movie did so well despite emulating a similar plot is the fact that we highlight a strong woman as the “provider” and being confident in her abilities. This message promoting feminism shows a young generation of viewers that women are not only powerful, but are capable of doing anything they set their focus on despite previous traditional values stating otherwise. While I agree that 14 years is a long wait for a sequel, I wouldn’t have this movie any other way because it shows different generations the progression that women have gone through and are continuing to do so today.

Kelly Han 10.13.21 / 4pm

I have waited for this movie to come out for so long. I watched it in theaters when it first came out. I agree with you, he had a lot of pressure on this movie after waiting 14 years, but it did come out amazing and I wouldn’t want it any other way. My childhood self was very happy with the second movie, after growing up watching the first one. Hopefully a 3rd movie will come out but nothing has been comfier yet .

Damian Hernandez 03.05.22 / 11pm

I remember watching the first Incredibles film when I was about 4 years old on DVD and I absolutely loved it. I will never forget the scene when Dash first runs on water and does his iconic laugh. When Incredibles 2 was announced I knew right away I had to go watch it with my family. While watching it I definitely saw the points you made about how they were addressing current-day issues in a discrete way so that it wasn’t too hard for children to understand. For example, it was interesting to see the roles reversed in this film with Elasta-girl being sent away from her family while Bob is left taking care of the kids. She was definitely a leader in this film and wasn’t afraid of backing down from a challenge. Overall it was a great film and definitely one in which I want to see more of later on.

Destany Martinez 03.03.23 / 1pm

I absolutely agree with how well played out the movie’s underlying themes were used! Usually, family films; incredibly animated ones like those of Disney, Pixar, and so on very obviously emphasize family and support groups. The explicit meaning of the film is on display for young viewers. While the implicit meaning of social justice conflict and a woman in power taking charge as a feminist movement, being a theme young adults plus can digest and ponder. It portrays something for both audiences to enjoy and debate later on.

Anders Hedberg 03.17.23 / 3pm

I personally thought this movie was “incredibly” disappointing. I would credit it as one of the greatest animated films of the 21st century and I was so excited for the sequel to finally come out. Unfortunately, I thought the plot was lazy and although there was some character development regarding elastigirl specifically, the rest of it seemed to focus on the quality of the animation and what sort of cool things they can put on screen to make it look exciting and decorative in a way. I agree that Jack Jack did finally give us what we all wanted to see on screen and come out of his shell regarding his powers a lot more, also playing much more of a key part in the movie.
