Three and a half stars (out of four)
"The Incredibles" is a great film about a family, but not a great family film.
The movie involves a lot of adult elements in the dialogue and has a few scenes that are rather intense for an animated film.
It is the story of Mr. Incredible, his wife, Elastigirl, and their children, Violet and Dash, and how the past comes back to haunt them.
All in all, I enjoyed "The Incredibles." Pixar did a good job with this one. The characters are lovable and the story is entertaining and humorous.
Although I liked "The Incredibles," I don't recommend it for young children because of adult humor and adult subject matter such as suicide and infidelity.
But adults should not let that keep them from seeing the movie.

I was not expecting "The Incredibles" to be an interesting movie, but I was wrong. This movie was really funny and appeals to audiences of all ages.
"The Incredibles" is a story about the Parr family, who are superheroes.
After being forced to go into hiding, Mr. Incredible and his wife, Elastigirl, try to adjust to living a normal life. Mr. Incredible is restless and wants to relive his superhero days. He gets that chance when an old "fan" reappears, causing this superhero family to come out of hiding to save the world.
This movie combines a good plot with exciting action. It's definitely a movie everyone will enjoy.

"The Incredibles" is another great movie from Pixar.
This is a very good movie for the entire family. Granted, there is some cartoon violence, but since it is a movie about superheroes, that is to be expected.
The movie is about a superhero family forced into retirement due to new laws.
After several years working as an insurance adjuster, Hank (Mr. Incredible) gets the chance to once again save the world, but finds himself in trouble. With the help of his family, Mr. Incredible manages to beat the evildoers.
The movie's ending also leaves hopes for a second "incredible" movie.
