The Incredibles: Critic Reviews

What is incredible in The Incredibles is the computer imaging.

The command and ingenuity with which Pixar has, once again, raised the level of excellence to which animated movies (and, why stop there, all movies) can aspire is easy to take for granted.

Pixar's new animated action-comedy, about a superhero family stuck in middle-class suburban exile, comes tantalizingly close to greatness.

One of the year's most clever and visually arresting computer-animated films.

As always, Pixar excels with its animation, but what makes this family film even more appealing is the smartness of the script, which is clearly written, end to end, to appeal to adults as well as children.

Easily the best and brightest family-friendly movie of the year.

An emotionally resonant, inventively hilarious movie that, oddly, may be its most family-friendly yet.

The Incredibles announces the studio's arrival in the vast yet overcrowded Hollywood lot of eardrum-bashing, metal-crunching action sludge.

Everything works in this movie.

The Incredibles is so jammed with entertainment that, at two hours, it's almost too much.

A delightful adventure for families.

The Incredibles is a zippy, visually powerful riff on what happens when a hero feels like a zero.

The sleek beauty, crafty wit, family warmth, and impeccable slapstick suffusing The Incredibles immediately vaults it to a new, higher level of entertainment.

The folks at the movie's heart are exaggerated way beyond our capacities but not quite beyond our imaginings. The title is unjust; these are the very slightly credibles.

Here's another example of Pixar's mastery of popular animation.

A vivid, sublime parody and valentine to the superhero genre.

The sleek computer animation is spellbinding as usual.

A movie with the sweet soul of Toy Story and the boisterous spirit of Spy Kids.

A computer-generated animated adventure about retired superheroes, blends action, humor and even a touch of earnest emotion into a dazzling visual package.

An incredible amount of fun.

A laugh-out-loud funny, adrenaline-fueled romp.

The often wry and pointed dialogue reminded me of the glory days of radio.

Deliriously smart escapist fare.

One of the year's most visually dazzling and emotionally satisfying adventures.

A spirited state-of-the-art riff on vintage James Bond movies and the superhero ethos of the 1950s and '60s.
