Fancyarcher 350 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Those teaser was an intentionally "gag" teaser, just like any Pixar film. I'm not sure you can get much out of it. I liked it though, and the use of the music was good if you ask me. Can't wait for the sequel too. My most anticipated of the superhero films of 2018.

It's a Pixar / animation teaser. They're usually based around a gag that isn't even in the actual film. The animators do it for "fun". Just depends on your preference I suppose.

TheUlyssesian 2,477 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Also can we now say the music is iconic and ingrained in popular culture (not quite like star Wars but kinda like star Wars).

mstrox 6,651 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Very hard to keep track of - most films get zero threads and get lumped into one of the impossible "Last Movie You Saw" threads. No reason for Jim to suspect that The Incredibles 2 would have two separate threads. Once and Cerebral Cortex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I think I need to watch The Incredibles again as a refresh. I'm undecided on watching it in theatres. Let's see what tonight holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Arpy 4,145 Posted June 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2018 Saw the film earlier today, it was a blast! The action and how it was storyboarded was great, and the visual style Bird and Pixar have been working on really shines here, everything from the whole look of the film - the lighting, the modeling, the way the characters move, down to the individual strands of hair and the fibres of their clothes is rendered better than the last Pixar films and an incredible improvement upon the first me. I think it's not as fresh and as charming as the first film, but it does feel like a continuation of that film, like an extra chapter that shares all the core elements that make it 'The Incredibles'. It's fun and roudy and has its fair share of interesting and nuanced drama - questions concerning the place of Superheros in society, and the complacency of society to take Superheros for granted instead of stepping up and taking responsibility. One of the most refreshing aspects of the film was just how it didn't feel like another superhero film, another Marvel action-fest, it felt like it had more going on. One of the more enjoyable aspects of the film is how Bob is doing the parenting this time, and the antics that come with that and discovering his baby has superpowers - and still powering through it despite how emasculating that makes him feel as Helen takes on the hero duty. The villain and their plot is the only tiny complaint I have with how it is played out. I think if it was setup and fleshed out earlier in the film it might've worked better for me. It's not bad, but I feel the family drama and seeing them work together is more important than the weakness of the villain. The score fits the film like a glove and where the first one felt like a John Barry-esque laiden score, this one definitely had more of Giacchino's voice coming through. There's two dominant themes apart from the main incredibles one (of which gets broken down into smaller motifs) - Elastigirl's Theme and a conspiracy type theme for Screenslaver. Just like the film, I feel the score isn't trying to best or recapture the spark of the original, but as a continuation of it, adding more themes to the story etc. I think there's a few short, quieter cues missing from the album, but I might be wrong.

Matt C 452 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 It wasn't as good as the first film, but it was fun and most fans should be happy. And of course, it leaves room open for Incredibles 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,306 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I just never understood the appeal of the first film and have zero interest in the sequel.

Fancyarcher 350 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I really like that this film has more traditional superhero ideas and values. Crime fighting, secret identity, really colorful (the animation is especially gorgeous), and a absurd viewpoint of powers. I thought it handled all those well, along with the family dynamic that made it standout from the other franchise comicbook movies currently. I didn't think the villain was as strong as Syndrome from the first, but I did like the motive and idea beyond it, and it led to some great action sequences as well. I also really love how they handled Jack Jack's powers. Having Mr. Incredible babysit him, made for some hilarious scenes, and along with Elastigirl's story, changed the dynamic completely from the first. There's a funny Raccoon fight, that especially had my audiences roaring with laughter. Maybe not as good as the first, but that's a high bar to reach for me. I thought this was more then a worthy follow-up. John and Pieter Boelen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I've literally watched Ratatouille about a hundred times when my little sister was a baby, and I still think it's a great movie. I've probably intimated here enough that I'm no Giacchino fan, but he did a great job on that one. Toy Story 3 was one I loved when I saw it in theaters, but rewatching it on home video, I felt like its tone jumped around way too extremely.

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I had no interest in seeing this until a friend begged me to, as I'm rather indifferent to the original. Whether or not this one will leave a stronger impression, I can't say. But for now... ELASTIGIRL HERE COMES ELASTIGIRL STRETCHING HER ARMS ELASTIGIRL (The score was AWESOME!)
