Let me preface this review by saying that I consider Pixar's work to be pretty hit-and-miss. I think that Pixar is at its best when Disney keeps its hands off and they can create movies that will entertain children, but still contain enough subtle mature content that adults can actually enjoy them as well. For me, Finding Nemo lacked anything that anyone over 10 would enjoy. Cars was somewhat better, and Monsters, Inc. is actually quite brilliant when viewed as a satire of corporate life. But no Pixar movie nails this delicate balance between kid-friendly fun and serious movie quite as well as The Incredibles.

The story begins with superheroes being banned by law after Mr. Incredible is sued for saving the life of a man who did not ask him to do so. To kids, this is a nonsensical excuse for the whole movie to happen. To adults, it is a hilarious satire of modern American civil law. Fast forward fifteen years or so, and Mr. Incredible's secret identity Bob Parr is stuck in a soul-sucking job at a corporate cubicle farm, and has fathered three children with his wife Helen, once known as Elastigirl. Again, children will see this as a silly riff on the superheroes they know and love ("superheroes don't get fat!"), but adults will laugh at the obvious commentary on modern suburban ennui. I will not reveal the rest of the story, but suffice to say that all of it toes the line between childish fun and grown-up satire very well.

At the risk of sounding repetitive, this really is Pixar's greatest achievement. It is that rare kind of movie where people of any age truly can find something to love. Pixar, where in the world is that sequel you hinted at? You made Cars 2, and Incredibles 2 isn't even in the works? REALLY?

Pixar's "The Incredibles" is surprisingly good, and another case of where Pixar shines the most: original features. In my opinion, they should keep making original stories rather than sequels like Cars 2 which never end up as good as these. The storyline here involves a family of superheroes that attempts to hide as normal humans, but are brought back in to action when the world needs their help. The plot and story here are actually not as important as they're not entirely original. What makes this movie shine is the over-exaggerated personalities the celebrity voices give to the characters. They're so hilarious that they will have you bent over with laughter. That goes double for Samuel L. Jackson as the ice creating superhero 'Frozone'...every scene he's in is awesomely funny.

When a bunch of lawsuits are brought against superheroes, they go in to hiding, one of them being Bob Parr and his wife Helen. When the evil Syndrome threatens the world, The Incredibles must take arms and do battle to save the lives of everybody. Even Syndrome is hilarious in this movie, him being a jilted old fan of Bob who has become disillusioned. Frozone for me though stole the show, getting the funniest lines and making me laugh the most.

Like always, Pixar's animation is top notch. Every character plays up to their exaggerated features...Bob's chin and chest are massive, his son Dash is the atypical blond hellraiser, and Helen is the ever-doting wife. This movie is fast paced and keeps the jokes coming. There's something here for all ages, and I feel it's another Pixar gem.

This is the kind of movie Pixar does when it no longer has ideas for good movies, Superheroes that have to hide form the society is not a very good thing to start with. I thought this movie was a lame attept to turn something like the Marvel heroes into Pixar characters. The story is way to predictable since the beggining, and gets even more predictable as it goes on.

What I hated was that Mr. Incredible is the kind of people that doesn't want to accept their time is done and wants to relive it.

i wouldn't recomend this movie much.
