The Incredibles

[hengcs]

Well, I have just watched this film. ;)
Although it may not be as "powerful" as Toy Story I & II, it still has its fun moments.


What I like?
------------
- There are a number of rather philosophical one-liners/scenarios/settings. However, some audience may or may not realize it without harm. ;)
- There are a few scenes that are really hilarious.
- Definitely above average film.


What I find "odd"?
--------------

* spoiler *

-- the "ghastly" power of the baby. I think the creators could have invented something more fun.

In terms of relevancy and audience participation, I felt that "The Incredibles" did an incredible job, more so that Toy Story I and II in dealing with real human elements in our life spread over a larger demographic population dealing with a family with real problems. Thus I felt this animated feature move further into the realm of meaningful but entertaining film making making it more powerful than Toy Story.

Oh sorry, I did not realize there is another thread on the movie under "Favorite Films."

Hmmm ... I have to agree that The Incredibles appeals more to a larger demographic population. It has a lot of philosphical and food for thought one-liners/scenarios/etc (as I have mentioned earlier). Because of that, I would think that the movie is more "adult" than Toy Story.

Maybe I am just a kid at heart, ha ha ... ;PPP

Or maybe the "baby" scene near the end spoils what I would have like more about the film?! The problem of recency effects ... hiaks hiaks ...

By the way, may I add that I like Toy Story 1 much better than Toy Story 2?


****************** spoilers *****************

What I feel could be better ...
-- Somehow, I really didnt like the demonous/fiery power of the baby.
-- I seriously thought the script writers should let the baby have NO powers. Why? Adding to its already cryptic messages, it may add further food for thought to the important/controversial discussion of genetics, hereditary, genocide and the alike.


Anyway, what are your favorite scenes/characters?
-- when the girl said, "you dont expect us to swim" and the scene that follows ... HA HA HA

Fascinating. I enjoyed Toy Story 2 more than Toy Story 1 just because of the more adult themes found in Toy Story 2 - about family and loss and sacrifice and deceit. In judging movies, it seems there's the emotional and intellectual content to consider. In your case, its seems the heart wins out. I must be more of a mental case.
