Should they have just made it 10 years later ...

instead of picking up where the first film left off? It would make sense, the kids are teens, sneaking out and saving the world.

that could maybe work in a later film but I thought it was funny seeing Jack Jack come into his powers as a baby or seeing Bob struggle with math. the Mr. Mom thing is an old plot line but with super powers I thought it was pretty funny.

Have a short review of this movie if anyone is interested- https://youtu.be/Bs5GTpsCmR8

Mildly entertaining. Not Pixar Incredible. It's like finding Dory.

[–] CraigJamesReview (1459) 6 years ago

hmmm, I liked it a bit more than Dory but yes, it could have been a bit better.

Yeah, I thought Dory was pretty low on the Pixar bar. This is better,but that isn't saying it's great.

The Incredibles was a high 5 out of 5 as films go. That would have been tough to beat.

The Incredibles 2 is a 4 of 5 - better than Finding Dory and better than most films this year.

Nah, I thought it worked really well the way they did it. I would like more sequels, so maybe in a future Incredibles movie, they can have the kids as teens.

[–] Burk48917 (10975) 6 years ago

I think so, but they wanted characters everyone was familiar with, so they kept them the same age.

[–] McQualude (4231) 6 years ago

I agree that's what they wanted but the fans have aged 10 years. Singles have become married, had kids, some of the older fans may even have grandkids. It creates a dissonance with the audience. ... A person was a teenager when Jack Jack was a baby and 10 years later they are married with a kid and Jack Jack is still a baby. It was the same mistake made by Mike Judge with Beavis and Butthead. A lot of life happened to the fans in 14 years but B & B were unchanged by it.

I would have liked to see some time pass too,since we really didn't get to see anything new as far as powers go. We already knew Jack Jack has multiple powers, so that wasn't even a surprise. They are killing it in ticket sales though.

[–] McQualude (4231) 6 years ago

Really, ticket sales must have really turned around. I've even heard it called a flop.

[–] Burk48917 (10975) 6 years ago

It had a huge drop it's second week,which should have been expected with Jurassic coming out. But it was the biggest opening weekend ever for an animated movie. It's at almost $400 million globally,so definitely not a flop, I do think they expected the numbers to stay higher longer.

It just crossed half a billion yesterday.

[–] Burk48917 (10975) 6 years ago

Yeah, even though I didn't love it, can't call that a flop.

I thought this story works fine where it left off from the first movie. I see where you are coming from about it though. Maybe if Brad Bird and Pixar have another great idea for a sequel with the kids as teens or adult, it could be a possibility. But then we would probably have to to wait for another decade or so to earn it out of them. 😋
