Incredibles 2 (2018)



Summary
Welcome back to Pixar's crime-fighting Family. Last seen back in 2004, The Incredibles are back stopping evil and saving the world yet again.





What's it about?
We pick up where we last meet The Incredibles, fighting The Underminer and stopping his evil plan. Unfortunately, in the process the Incredibles accidentally damage the town hall when trying to turn off The Underminer's drilling machine, causing the government to forbid super-heroes from saving the day. Suddenly Mr Incredible and His wife Elastigirl encounter by a rich business man who offers them new jobs that will help bring Super-Heroes back into the sunlight. Mr Incredible struggles with raising his Children, while His wife is still at work saving the day. A mysterious new Super-villain who calls Itself "The Screen-slaver" hypnotises everyone who are still looking at screens to obey his every command. Can our Super-Parents stop The Screen-Slaver's diabolical plan for world domination, or shall the evil Screen-slaver prevail?





The good bits
The film contains epic action, exciting scenes, wonderful animation, superb voice-acting, exhilarating fighting scenes, even more detail into Jack-Jack's superpowers, fun characters, a cool soundtrack, an interesting story, excellent continuity with the original film and many funny moments.





The bad bits
The only thing I did not like about the film Is that some plot elements where quite similar to some of the plot elements to the original. I would have preferred it if they would have not used too many similar plot elements from the original and try to make the story original in it's own way. Other than that, there was absolutely nothing I can remember not liking about this sequel.





What is it similar to?
It is very similar to the original, just like many sequels. It is as colourful as many other animated features we nowadays receive in our local cinemas, and retains just about the same spirit and style of many live-action Super-hero movies, except it was less complicated and aimed more for families with children, just like it's original. This and "Isle of Dogs are by far two of my favourite animated movies and movies in general of the year.





Oscar's recommendation
I can very well recommend this film to everyone who has both seen and liked the original, animation, CGI and super-hero fans, Disney and Pixar fans, and anyone else who like action and adventure, both children and adults alike.





Parent/carer alerts
Swearing
There was some mild swearing here and there such as, "Oh my God", "Damned", and "What the hell".




Violence
There was plenty of fighting and hitting as you would expect from many super-hero movies with action and adventure, as well as gun-fighting. Some people might feel unsettled with all this violence.




Fear
There were many intimidating scenes and peril such as the raccoon who fights Jack-Jack, Mr Incredible and Elastigirl under threat, all scenes Involving The Screen-slaver, and villains and brain-washed superheroes threatening the heroes. Some people might feel scared of the scene where Elastigirl encounters the Screen slaver's headquarters and then battles the fake Screen slaver, while others might find both the Screen slaver, The Underminer and the raccoon scary.

Sensory details
There was some scenes of the Screen-Slaver's hypnotic patterns on screens to hypnotise people with that can cause some people harm with epilepsy. I cannot recommend this movie or any of the scenes with the hypnotic patterns on screens to anyone with epilepsy. Some people might also find the arguments, threat, fighting and peril of the movie intense and unsettling. Some people might also feel overwhelmed with anxiety to see if the heroes win and the villain gets what he deserves. Some people might feel unsettled when Jack-Jack is either under attack, threat or fighting as that might make some worry that he will die in the end. There are also some scenes which will make it look like the villain will win in the end while the heroes loose, which might make some people feel uncomfortable. Some parents might not find their children old enough for a movie With so much violence, fighting, peril and action. Some animal lovers and raccoon lovers might feel uncomfortable with Jack-Jack fighting a raccoon, scaring him away rather than killing him and making enemies with it causing Jack-Jack to dislike raccoons in general. Some people might feel uncomfortable with very bright colours, visuals, loud noises and special effects. Some people might feel too scared of some scenes such as the sight of the Screen slaver, the raccoon and The Screen Slaver's Headquarters.
