A Look Back at The Incredibles (2004)




The Incredibles is a 2004 computer-animated superhero film. The movie is produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Buena Vista Pictures. The Incredibles was written and directed by Brad Bird



The story is Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl along with other "Supers" are forced to retire and live mundane lives. While Mr. Incredible does love his wife and children he wants to relive the good old days of being a superhero. One day he gets to live that life again however things may not be what they seem.

  • Positives



One thing I loved about the movie that I never realized before when I was a kid was it's actually a period piece. This whole time I thought it took place in 2004 but it didn't. The movie was subtle about that was going to help it remain timeless.




Another thing I loved about The Incredibles were all the homages to comic books. For instance The Incredibles themselves are kind of like the Fantastic Four and the idea of superheroes being outlawed is similar to Watchmen (only without the insane amounts of violence).



Now since this is a superhero movie that does mean we get action scenes. And in my opinion while there not crazy like something you would see from a DC or Marvel film they are still worth a rewatch. My favorites were when Dash and Violet fought the henchmen and the final act.



Brad Bird providing great writing for the movie. The family not only have their own personalities but there own arcs. And through the film each arc comes to a satisfying end when the movie is over.



Mr. Incredible is a good protagonist. He's one of those feel bad for the guy characters. Throughout the movie you just want him to be a superhero again. Especially since he wasn't doing it for the fame because he just liked to help people.



Now ever good hero needs a good villain, and our main villain Syndrome is perfect. Not only is diabolical but he also has a simple but interesting plan. I won't give it away it's best if you just watch the film.




Now to tell you about the animation. It's being clichéd to say that the film has beautiful animation since after all it's a Pixar movie. But that's really all you can say for the animation.






The Incredibles is one of my favorite Pixar movies and rewatching it again has me excited for the long awaited sequel. Keeping the setting of the film low key was a great idea, all of the homages were fun to spot and figure out, the action is entertaining, the writing for the family was done to perfection, Mr. Incredible is a good hero as well as Syndrome being a good villain, and the animation is stunning.





My final rating is A Must Watch
