I'm trying now to remember a really funny, laugh-out-loud line or memorable eye-popping sequence and I find I can't. The outlawed super-heroes / aliens / mutants theme has been done to death, from the X-Men to the Marvel Civil War right up to the current Supergirl TV series, likewise the husband and wife role-reversal with Mr Incredible's turn as three super-babies and a super-dad again seemed old-hat while Elastigirl's elevation to solo superstardom also felt a little like a forced and belated concession to PC-dom. Don't get me wrong, the Pixar animation is fantastic as always, but somewhere along the line, the story, characters and humour lack something.

Somehow, for me, the movie just fell flat and didn't please me to anything like the degree of its predecessor. Better late than never you might say but personally after watching this 14-years later sequel, I'm tending to better never than late. I loved the first 'The Incredibles' and remember wondering why a follow-up hadn't been made soon after its success.
