Incredibles 2: Sloppy Seconds


It's been 14 long years since this superhero family burst onto the big screen.

Why did the sequel take so long?

It seems superheros have been illegal. At least that's the party line. Never mind movies like Spider-Man Homecoming (2017), Batman v. Superman (2016), Ant-Man (2015), Man of Steel, (2013); Wonder Woman (2017); Deadpool (2016), and Deadpool 2... You've got the picture.

But the Movie Slut is nitpicking. No?

No. She believes (conspiracy theory alert!) that a plot befitting the movie's title was not in the bag.

Alas. It still isn't. Sadly, this sequel is a disappointment to MS, even though  the promising plot—Elastigirl (voice of Holly Hunter) is the superhero star while Mr. Incredible (voice of Craig T. Nelson) is a stay-at-home dad—is so delightfully feministy.

Luckily Edna Mode, superhero costume designer, is on the screen to almost save the show.
