Incredibles 2
"Variety"s Owen Gleiberman called the film "fun but far from incredible" and wrote "It's true that the "Toy Story" films, all three of which are fantastic, did variations on the same theme of a toy's obsolescence, but as movies they kept the emotions close to the surface. In "Incredibles 2", we never get that rush of feeling." Michael Phillips of the "Chicago Tribune" gave the film 2.5 out of 4 stars and said, ""Incredibles 2" is content to punch the clock and stick to straight, bombastic action mode. In that mode, composer Giacchino's music is the most successful element, running nimble, beautifully orchestrated variations on themes that feel familiar in the best ways while retaining their spark. The animation is bright and visually dynamic. The script, well ... if the title were "Satisfactories 2", it'd be about right." Ty Burr for "The Boston Globe" called it a "clattery, unfocused affair that at times is more irritating than fun."
