Bird laces in subliminal messages, but the main attraction of Incredibles 2 is the focussed storytelling, the clear and uncluttered animation and unadulterated fun.

Brad Bird's Incredibles 2, while a solid follow up, lacks a clear vision of where to take the story next.

What thrilled me the most ... watching these characters do the thing they were born to do [and] fully be themselves instead of repressing something fundamental about themselves.

Incredibles 2 is hardly Pixar’s most ambitious film, but it’s a worthy sequel that takes the studio’s finest family in interesting new directions, while offering enough inventive action to stand out amid an increasingly crowded superhero landscape.
