The Incredibles 2

Despite the Parr family (Bob/Mr. Incredible, Helen/Elastigirl, Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack) diving head first and fully accepting their roles as superheroes, they are still in violation of the law which made superheroes - known as "supers" - illegal. When the city is under attack by a villain known as the Underminer, the Parr family still jumps at the chance to do the right thing and save the city. Unfortunately their efforts are unsuccessful, so they are imprisoned until a mysterious new benefactor  by the name of Winston Deaver and his sister Evelyn secures their release and make Bob and Helen a proposition. In order to overturn the law making supers illegal, Winston and Evelyn propose a campaign to bring supers back into the public eye. This campaign, however, has a catch - the Deaver siblings only want Helen/Elastigirl as the face of the campaign. Bob/Mr. Incredible is annoyed at first, but reluctantly agrees to turn into a stay-at-home dad while his wife tries to sway the public in their favor. Both Bob and Helen, along with each of their children try to make the best of the situation until a new enemy who goes by the name of Screenslaver attacks the city.

The first The Incredibles movie is by far one of the best Pixar movies to date, not only as an entertaining kids superhero movie, but one with fantastic messages about the importance of family and sticking together. Incredibles 2 is no different in that regards, but story-wise it did kind of seem at times to be the same as the original, just Helen/Elastigirl in place of Bob/Mr. Incredible. I'm not sure now who owns the rights to Marvel's Fantastic 4 franchise, if it's still Fox or now Disney/Marvel, but either way they really need to watch both of the Incredibles movies as they are the perfect example of what a Fantastic 4 movie SHOULD be. They are both a perfect balance of superhero action and a film about family. Other than the story, Incredibles 2 is more intense and action-packed than the first (as far as I can remember, anyways, it has been awhile since I've seen the original). With the characters, there's so many new characters that it felt like we didn't really get a great chance to know them, and on top of that despite the switch from Bob to Helen being in the spotlight this time around, it didn't seem like there was that much growth from the first movie for the Parr family and Lucius Best/Frozone. Even Edna Mode, one of the best parts of the original, only get maybe 3-4 scenes in the entire movie. I know this is a kids movie, and the target audience ultimately doesn't really care, but the villain reveal was a little too obvious to me. Jack-Jack, however, was by far the best and funniest part of the movie.

All that said, Incredibles 2 is definitely worth the 14 years of waiting. I'd say it's not exactly on par with the original, but it comes very close for me. Kids and adults alike will surely enjoy it as much as the original 14 years ago.
