“You’ll never look at superheroes the same way again…. Really?”

The Incredibles hauls us to the life of Bob Parr a.k.a. Mr. Incredible, one of the many superheroes who used to safeguard USA from mischief. He’s wedded to another former superhero Helen (I can’t remember her name, was it Elastigirl?) and together they raise three children; two of which exhibits the making of a superhero. After Bob got fired from his incredibly horrendous job, a proposition that will give him the chance to finally fight will take him and his family to their wildest power packed adventure.

I have only one word for this movie, kick-ass!!!!!!! The undeniably absurd rate they charge for this one is tolerable because this movie simply rocks. It’s the old superhero story but the twist makes it most intriguing. They ain’t no longer the superheroes you expect them to be, physically fit and with tremendous aesthetic value that you won’t mind jumping off a building if you know they’re around, just so he can catch you and feel his arms around you. They’re fat, emotionally incapacitated and restrained to exercise their abilities.

The movie took turns that you never expect it will assume. It was emotionally charged and completely realistic, except of course their eyes are so big and their color is too vivid. Speaking of which, it helped a lot in making this film entertaining. The color was just as bright as one would fancy them to be, there were times that I thought I was looking at a real life scene like when they showed the buildings in New York but then the characters comes along and you snap out of it that instant.

Why is it that up to this time and age, with the advancement of today’s technology, animation studios still can’t come out with a perfectly humanlike character? Even the 3d ones still don’t look human enough. And these ones are definitely far from looking flawlessly human.

Yeah I know that the animation is so cool and all but I think the one who truly deserve all the credits for this movie is the writer/director Brad Bird. This movie came totally from him. This is his concept and he made it into reality—well, animated reality. He was able to create the characters ordinary yet very unique. You learn to really fall in love with the characters and it has that one thing that Shark Tale didn’t have – a heart.

The dubbing was great. I love the voice of the designer very funny and cute as well as Helen’s. They delivered it very well and don’t think there’s anyone in particular that I didn’t like the voice portrayal.

It’s a movie of class A humor, class A fun and class A excitement. It’ll take you to the world of superheroes you never thought could possibly exist. The one wherein they look worse than you and they’re as emotionally psychotic as you are. It’s a flick for everyone, I think it’s better than Finding Nemo and much enjoyable than Shark tale, in fact I think it’s one of the best films I’ve seen this year, and it’ll definitely give Shrek 2 a run for their money at the Oscars. We’ll see who can lay his tummy better, Shrek or Mr. Incredible. But in the meantime, go ahead and rush to the cinema and be saved by the brand new breed of superheroes. Get yourself some incredible movie time.
