Average Rating:8.3/10

Consensus: Even though The Incredibles is more violent than previous Pixar offerings, it still a witty and fun-filled adventure that almost lives up to its name.

Rated: U [See Full Rating] for action violence

Runtime: 1 hr 55 mins

Genre: Action/Adventure

Theatrical Release:19-11-2004

Combining a family-oriented superhero adventure with the brilliant animation of Disney's Pixar (the creators of MONSTERS INC. and FINDING NEMO), THE INCREDIBLES charts new territory in the technical wizardry of computer-generated cartoons. Using complex angles and a filmic sensibility, the animation feels like live action, and smart techniques such as cuts to "grainy film stock" give this movie instant sophistication. Writer-director Brad Bird, with his creative storytelling and well-paced character development, does the rest. This tale is set in a slightly futuristic society where superheroes are no longer appreciated (Read: But I didn't want to be saved!) and are forced to assume a very low profile. So, for Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson), his wife Elastigirl (Holly Hunter), and his three fledgling superhero kids, maintaining a lifestyle of mediocrity in order to appear normal causes constant friction. When the opportunity suddenly arises for the Incredibles to use their powers to fight evil, it's trial-by-fire to learn to work as a superteam. Together they must stop the maniacal Syndrome (Jason Lee) from unleashing a murderous robot in a big city. Fast action and violence involving large explosions make this a film that is better suited for older children rather than the very little ones. Yet family themes and comic episodes prevail, with eclectic characters like Edna the fashion designer (voiced by Bird himself) and the iceman Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson) adding extra moments of fun.

Remember about four months back when almost every movie critic on the planet was proclaiming Spider-Man 2 The Best Superhero Movie Ever Made? Yeah, well they were all wrong.

The Incredibles has humor, thrills, and adventure, but most of all it has heart.

[It] goes beyond the pretty visuals and the slam-bam action to get us under the skin of a family trying hard to be something they're not.

It’s the thrilling, personal storytelling that elevates [the film] into not just the best animated movie of the year... but also one of the best movies of 2004, period.

The often wry and pointed dialogue reminded me of the glory days of radio.

Bird's satiric take on suburbia, conformity and forced notions of equality is surprisingly sophisticated and biting for an animated feature, matched by a visual panache that is often breathtaking.

É irônico que alguns dos personagens mais complexos do ano tenham surgido não em uma produção estrelada por atores de carne-e-osso, mas sim por figuras criadas em computador.

One of these days, Pixar is going to take a misstep, but now is not the time.

You must take your family to see this in the theater. You can only really appreciate it on the big screen.

A masterfully crafted entertainment that devolves into an overlong, overly loud, and disappointingly stock shoot 'em up.

With their best film to date, the Pixar team has taken the animated feature into realms of narrative and visual design never before seen.

Stunningly animated, if somewhat derivative, story of an ordinary, extraordinary family.
