The Incredibles

[Pozer]

if was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

I know dude. It was so good that when I tell people how good it was, I can't get my words to come out right either.

Just got back from it. Friggin' amazing. I hate to formulate an opinion of this magnitude so hastily after seeing it, but I seriously think this could THE best Pixar film. I loved the characters with their Golden Age family sensibilities and the retroish super hero vibe. Bird somehow tackled familial issues in the form of his super hero characters (eg Dash wanting to do his best), and he really focused on their personalities and development rather than simply exploiting their powers for entertainment. He didn't try to insult our intelligence, which is appreciated. Seriously, it was so fun; this smile creeped on my face from the very beginning and wouldn't leave till just a second ago.

And the animation is fantastic. Whoever said whatever about the hair follicles was right. I noticed they had a rather large animation team exclusively for hair and cloth.

Terrific terrific film.  Brad Bird + Pixar = Perfection.  They turned the superhero idea upside down with the idea that people started suing superheroes for injuries sustained while they were saving people.  Nice dig at American litigiousness.  I also loved the little jabs at these types of movies, such as the cape montage and the use of "monologuing."  Glad they didn't go with the obvious choice of Patrick Warburton for the father.  The cast was excellent and the visuals were extremely creative.  The set design, the crazy character design, the ball things that were shot at Robert after he broke into the computer, etc.  All wonderful.  The only things that could have made the film a little better were perhaps more Frozone and her.

is it just me?

Very, very good.

I liked it as much, if not more than I liked Finding Nemo.  Also, the action sequences in this were as good, if not better than anything I have ever seen before.

Spoilers:

The Dash running scene was like an animated speeder bike race from Jedi.  There were other scenes that I'm forgetting about that were homages to other movies, these were some of the touches that I loved.

In the same sequence when one of the guards crashes into the cliff, I thought it was an homage to Indiana Jones.

I thought when the Machine turned into a ball and chased Mr Incredible, that was an homage to Raiders of the Lost Ark.

When Mr. Incredible is trying to remember Incrediboy's (Jason Lee) name, he says "Brodie" as one of the guesses.

Oh, shoot, I just remembered that.

Didn't he also call him "Fan Boy?"

okay, um, BRILLIANT!!!

p was right. pixar is the second coming of christ, most definitely.

all these wannabe action directions (Emmerich, Sonnenfeld, Zemeckis (oh God Zemeckis) Bruckheimer, Bay, Cameron, Scott(both of them)) could learn a thing or 5 from these good folk.

my thing is this- these movies are far from kids movies, right? i can't imagine a kid getting 3/4's of all that great stuff. but maybe i underestimate the intelligence of a kid these days. i dunno.

anyways, loved it. my top 2 of the year.

my top 2 of the year.

As in its good enough to take both First and Second place?

[rustinglass]

i got an invitation to the preview last night. I got me an incredibles eye mask.
This film is so good, I adore every minute of it. The action and the humor is better than any animation film I've ever seen. These pixar people are geniuses and I hope They get all the cash that they deverve.

Shreck 2 looks like a fart now that I've seen this.

with this being pixar first pg rated film dealing with a little bit mature topics (well kind of)...do you think there is a strong possiblity of seeing a serious drama or adult comedy being fully animated by pixar or would that be too much of a risk...
