INCREDIBLES 2 (Movie, 2018)

It's impressive for a movie whose predecessor came out 14 long years ago. The new movie sees the Parr family little changed by the passing of the years, though much improved by technological advances. The family has barely aged, however, and the plot is basically the same. In the new film, superheroes are explicitly described as “illegal.”  But the Incredibles have their particular charms. These superheroes—Bob and Helen Parr, aka Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, and their children Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack—are cast in the traditional mold of comic-book champions. 

In this second movie, the roles are reversed: Helen gets a chance to shine, while Bob tries and fails to keep the domestic machinery rolling. 

The Incredibles 2 is an undeniable triumph, but it is also so keenly aware that it becomes exhausting.
