Incredulous!!!

One of the better things that happened to me over the weekend, was watching The Incredibles with Sharon at midnight on Friday!! Heard alot about the movie from friends saying about how good it was and i decided to go and catch it then before i learn of any SPOILERS.. (u know who u are people....)

Anyway, i must say that the movie was nothing short of excellent!! Ok it may be an animation film, but i'm telling you, this movie caters more to the older and wiser population than to the young kiddies who love boring kid films like the recent Shark's Tale. Why do i say that?? Well it's coz this movie is so full of wit and humour that stems from the brain of the Simpsons, where intellectual humour is the way to go rather than slapstick, in-your-face humour.

The movie is about Superheroes... yes the world is full of them.... who all have secret identities and we are shown that even people like them, have to struggle with real-life situations, such as growing up, going through mid-life crises, and working hard to maintain a normal family. Of course, the protagonist in this show is Mr Incredible, but i ain't gonna tell you anymore until you catch it, coz there's so many funny moments in the show that you'll enjoy even more if you don't know what's about to happen! (hence my hatred for SPOILERS!!)

Several things make this show tick. first of all the humour as mentioned earlier, and this is all down to the writer, Brad Bird, who pens episodes for The Simpsons, which explains his knack for good intelligent comic timing. Funnily enough though, i've heard of a few people who don't find The Incredibles funny and apparently, they prefer less brainy comedies like Shark's Tale.... well these are the same people who can never find The Simpsons funny, and they really don't know what they're missing!!

Another key thing i liked about the film was the interesting and eccentric characters that appear throughout the film... no i'm not talking about the Incredibles family, but rather the other pivotal people in the movie, my favorite being Frozone, but i'm not telling anything so you'll find out for yourself and know what i mean....


"A splitting image of Samuel L. Jackson"

Compared to Shark's Tale, this film had lesser known stars doing the voiceovers, but i must say they've done a brilliant job bringing the characters to life! Especially Holly Hunter, who makes Mrs Incredible sound soooo credible and sassy, and Samuel L. Jackson, who does an unbelievable job with Frozone!

All in all i guess there's only one word to describe this film.. (yea yea i know its cliched...) INCREDIBLE!!!


"We are Family......"

Tim's Movie Rating - The Incredibles ====> 4.5/5
Excellent animated film from Pixar again. Seems they can't ever go wrong with their pick of original stories. You can be prepared for a barrel of laughs from the film, with many action sequences that are bound to keep your eyes glued to the screen (or TV if u buy the pirated DVD you pirate...). Every moment in the show is interesting and there's never a dull moment. Well worth your $8.50 so catch it soon and enjoy the ride!!
