Review of The Incredibles

     It may be a little childish, but this movie is just to great to pass up. Every time I watch this movie, even as a teenager, I find myself full of childish joy every time. Mr, Incredible, the hero of this story, is a superhero in the traditional 1950's mold, dashing through town, defeating super-villains, and saving civilians. Alas, in a turn of unfortunate events, Mr.Incredible saves a man jumping from a building who's intent is to take his own life. Yet instead of being grateful, the man decides to sue Mr.Incredible for the inconvenience that he has caused him. After, the populace is not unanimously grateful, and he is faced with so many lawsuits for unlawful rescue and inadvertent side-effects he is forced to retire, along with many of the superhero community.   

                                         


     Under the governments superhero relocation program, Mr. Incredible (voiced by Craig T. Nelson) moves to the suburbs, joined by his wife Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) and their children Violet(Sarah Vowell), Dash (Spencer Fox) and their little baby Jack Jack. Each of them posses a certain super power of their own, Violet can turn invisible and create force-fields (almost mimicking the Invisible Girl from The Fantastic Four). Dash is able to run at incredible speeds, Mr. Incredible has super-strength, and Elastigirl pretty much speaks for itself.

     Bob Parr hates the insurance business. Joining him in the suburb is another relocated super, Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson) who can freeze stuff. Claiming they belong to a bowling league they sneak out on these nights to remember the good old days, by preventing low-profile crime. Until Mr.Incredible receives  a message from a mysterious woman named Mirage (Elizabeth Pena), who lures him to a Pacific island where where Mr. Incredible, very over weight and very out of shape, battles a robot named Omnidroid 7.  Spawning a whole new wave of super adventures.      

     I really love this movie, for all the laughs and fun it brings to the silver screen. It brings a whole new look on the superheros ways of life. I defiantly recommend watching this movie, whether you be young or old, you will love this movie.
