Moderately engaging but hardly a classic.

The action sequences here are so big and so effortless that you wonder why Jerry Bruckheimer and all his imitators can’t muster up the ability to do things half as well.

The Incredibles is awesome, so get ready for a good time. Even the geeks are going to like it!
11/03/04
The sleek beauty, crafty wit, family warmth, and impeccable slapstick suffusing The Incredibles immediately vaults it to a new, higher level of entertainment.
11/03/04
A funny and, at times, ingenious movie.
11/03/04
While delivering the goods as a rip-roaring action-adventure and in the process rocketing the art of animation to new heights of imagination, humor and wonder, director-writer Brad Bird has crafted a film that breaks fresh ground and defies fogy rules.
11/03/04
The animation is as lush and colorful as usual, and a lock for an Oscar nomination for best animated film is as much of a lock as a scorching Arizona summer.
11/03/04
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.
11/03/04
as stylish as Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow but with more depth, and as giddy as Toy Story but with more of a soul
11/03/04
it’s difficult to imagine anyone who won’t be thoroughly entertained by this terrific family adventure.
11/03/04
[Pixar's] first feature to lack the winsome pizzaz that makes for mandatory repeat viewing...(but will still) entertain enough to justify the price of a movie ticket.
11/03/04
Character-driven animation with wit, angst, and adventure.
11/02/04
Every great movement begins with one glorious bound...over tall buildings or otherwise.
11/02/04
From first frame to last the effects are flawlessly detailed and the design fabulously executed.
11/02/04
The Incredibles announces the studio's arrival in the vast yet overcrowded Hollywood lot of eardrum-bashing, metal-crunching action sludge.
11/02/04
One of the most entertaining family films of the year.
11/01/04
Top CriticStrong story and animation, excellent dialogue, interesting pace dynamics, action, love, and some pretty potent thought nuggets -- this is entertainment!
11/01/04
still indicative of a genre in its infancy, nowhere near as steadfastly classic as the cream of the cell-animated crop. Brilliant stuff, but not outstanding.
10/31/04
An epic battle between conformity and exceptionality in The Incredibles, which will be catnip for superhero buffs and a great time at the movies for everyone else.
