Incredibles 2

THE GIST
: After the latest faceoff with another villain, the Incredibles leave a trail of destruction in their wake, and the people aren't happy, forcing the government to shut down their program. When a tycoon comes knocking, offering to help rehabilitate their image, the Parr family agrees, but it's Elastigirl who becomes the face of the campaign, leaving Mr. Incredible home to care for the kids, including new arrival Jack-Jack. When the villain Screenslaver shows up, Elastigirl takes charge.

Incredibles 2 is the long-awaited follow-up to another hugely successful Pixar property, and pretty much doubles-down on the action, on par with its predecessor.

THE BOTTOM LINE: I really enjoyed the original, and liked this sequel, even though it didn't have the same freshness to it. Still, I enjoyed that they shone the spotlight on the woman this time. Definitely recommended for the whole family, especially if there's a little girl in the audience.

Grade: 8
