The Incredibles

I don’t know why I was wary of The Incredibles before watching it, and I successfully avoided it for a long time. But then I could no longer resist, reached for the VHS and had a royally good time!!! I'm glad to see that even from a premise revolving around real life (even if only very distantly), you can conjure up such a funny and incredibly entertaining action-packed spectacle. And I had that impression not only after the first screening, but also after the second and then after the third! And that alone, of course by my standards, is an example of bulletproof quality. 100% (09/24/2011)

For me, one of the best animations of all time, mainly because it can make fun of superheroes, but in a way that you will also admire them. It also has the essence of great TV series from the 60s, as well as excellent gadgets and features that the movie is full of. This is an example of how ideas come together in one heap, but it's not just a silly collage, but a perfectly functioning mechanism. (12/23/2013)

The Incredibles is a typical animated hit focused on the widest audience possible, primarily intended for American viewers who are well acquainted with comic book culture. Those who grew up on Spiderman, Batman, and other superheroes will enjoy the film, but other viewers won't be left out either. Overall impression: 75%. (11/01/2009)

A beautiful homage to super-hero comics and Bond films and a visual juggernaut all in one. The animated characters are really acting, you can see the whole range of human emotions in their faces. (God, where is this technology going? I can see a movie trailer in a couple of years for maybe a comedy starring Ben Stiller, Mr. Incredible and a rendered Marilyn Monroe) The animation is excellent, the water actually looks like water, Vi and Elasti-girl's hair occasionally flutters so adorably in the wind, and... and anyway, I don't want to get into any glorified odes here. In terms of screenwriting, The Incredibles may not be as emotionally gripping as Finding Nemo, but it's a great show. I'm very happy for Brad Bird's success and the satisfaction of flopping with The Iron Giant. A little poll before closing: Who was your favorite superhero? For me, it was the incredibly cool Frozone voiced by Samuel L. Jackson, I’m glad I didn’t see him dubbed... (01/13/2005)

Oh yeah, it's a stylish ride, surprisingly oriented imho more toward an adult audience, although there are a few infantile jokes. The characters are likable, the animation is clever, I laughed a few times ("I declare war against peace and happiness", "...and he’s got me on a platter, and he starts monologuing about how feeble I am compared to him, how inevitable my defeat is, the world will soon be his...") and the action is cool. A strong and unwavering four stars... (11/24/2009)
