Critic consensus

What 9 critics are saying

Critics largely welcomed Incredibles 2 as a consistently enjoyable and entertaining sequel, with the overall sentiment being positive. The infant Jack-Jack was singled out by multiple reviewers as a standout highlight, drawing particular delight from audiences. Brad Bird's direction and the film's blend of action, humor, and family dynamics were appreciated, with some noting the sharp observations around gender role reversals within the Parr family. However, several critics pointed out that the film does not reach the emotional heights of Pixar's best work and breaks little new ground.

    You might argue that Incredibles 2 doesn't break any new ground or deliver the high notes of classic Pixar sequels like Toy Story 3 or Finding Dory. That may be true. But it's still consistently enjoyable, and a notch above so many live action superhero films today.

    Film review ·

    The highest points of the film and its acutest observations -- even if predictable -- remain Mr Incredible Bob Parr's struggles with reconciling to the success of his wife, Elastigirl Helen, in a new superhero role.

    While 'Incredibles 2' is not Disney-Pixar's best, but it's certainly a solid sequel to a beloved film.

    Film review ·

    Incredibles 2 is pure heart and nostalgia. Brad Bird gifts back our childhood to us in the most entertaining way. I haven't met anyone who has hated The Incredibles & I'll meet no one who will dislike Incredibles 2.

    Film review ·

    Incredibles 2's tottering scene-stealer is more than pleased to be the best thing about its flying, fizzy, whimsical, endearing and 3D action-packed two hours.
  6. Times Of India

    Film review ·

    Writer & director Brad Bird believed in waiting for the right story to tell, and that decision certainly pays off in more ways than one as 'Incredibles 2' proves to be an Incredible amount of fun!
  7. Hindustan Times

    Film review ·

    While it might not be as emotionally powerful as some of Pixar's best films, Brad Bird gives us a spectacular superhero alternative to the insane stakes of Avengers: Infinity War.

    Film review ·

    Despite a typical colour palette, witnessed in many superhero films, the visuals of the film along with the 3D animation, are decent and exciting. Overall, Incredibles 2 is an entertainer that would entice the young and the older audience alike.

    Film review ·

    As The Parr family returns to screen after 14 years, it's the youngest member, the infant Jack Jack, who leaves the audience squealing in delight
