Oh boy was this film a disappointment and I dreaded this review but I will as usual at least try and look at the good first.
Technically The Averagables er...uh...well I mean The Incredibles 2 is technically a slicker than the original tech wise but that's about it.
If you haven't seen the original this is probably a wow of a film, but I had seen the original.
But it just is not in the same league as the original or for that matter any Pixar film.
Harsh words? Not really, the big problem is that this is the same film as the original except they swap the parents places and replace the baby sitter for a Racoon.
WOWEE!
I remember the DVD extras for the original where Brad Bird made it clear that he would absolutely, positively, definitely not make a sequel unless he had a good enough story to warrant it that it had something new to say.
Well that has gone out the window, as its just the same story again.
The wrist watch test:
I was part way through this film and I'll be honest I started checking my watch for the time, why?
Because I was BORED!
The final bit of WHY DID THEY BOTHER is that this film cost 200 million just to make, HOW?
If it was new story wise I could understand but Its the same film and most of the same 3D resources could have been re-used, where did the money go?
Not on the story or script that's for sure.
So is it a bad film?
NO it is not bad it is an average film that cost 200 million to make.
