I’m going to be brutally honest here: I usually have very mixed feelings about Disney sequels. I am either crazy excited about them or totally ambivalent. I’ve loved all the Toy Story movies, for example, and I’m really looking forward to the 4th movie coming out next year. On the other hand, several sequels have left me feeling like I can take them or leave them. The Little Mermaid movie was one of my all-time favorite Disney films. The sequel…not so much.

Incredibles falls into the first category. I absolutely adored the first one, and thought that, like Toy Story, it was the type of movie that begged for a sequel. The problem with a sequel releasing 14 years after the original is that everyone has incredibly high expectations. Did the movie meet those expectations? Read on to find out!

Here’s what we thought of Incredibles 2

In my opinion, Incredibles 2 definitely met my high expectations! While some may disagree (based on reviews on IMDB, where it still pulled down an 8/10), it seems that the major movie critics agreed with me for the most part. The movie scored an incredible (pun intended) 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. If you regularly read movie reviews over there, you know that a score in the 90s is an incredibly accomplishment.

Jake, who wasn’t even born when the first one came out, popped the Blu-ray into his XBOX One the moment it arrived on our doorstep.  Now that he’s a teenager, I can count on one hand the number of “family movies” that actually get Jake excited enough to drop everything and watch it the first chance he gets.  I was still working, so I watched it later on that evening.

We both thought the movie was fantastic, but probably for different reasons. Jake loved the humor, the action & adventure, and the overall plot of the movie. While I loved all of those things, too, I especially liked the fact that Helen takes center stage this time, leaving Bob at home with the kids. Combined, the two movies show that both men and women can do anything, whether it’s being a super hero out in the world or at home with the kids (because, as we all know, parents are super heroes, too!).

Overall, it was an incredibly fun movie that both Jake and I enjoyed, albeit separately. It’s one of those Disney/Pixar movies that you can actually watch more than once without getting bored, so one night soon Jake and I will make a night of re-watching both movies  together.
