Wife and I saw this movie last night, we both agree it was great! Far from being a satire of super-heroes (as I've seen one reviewer call it) it was played completely straight. Some of the things I noticed which were so different from most "family" movies nowadays...

The kids were kids and the adults were adults. Dad wasn't an idiot, and Mom wasn't an emasculating, uhm, witch. The kids, when first faced with danger, didn't become instant heroes; they freaked out, and had to learn how to best use their powers. (The scene where Dash is running away from the bad guys, looks down and realizes he's running across the water's surface, and nearly giggles in delight, was great!) And through it all, no matter how much they fought or argued with each other, it was very clear they were a family who loved one another. Very refreshing!

A great movie, I highly recommend it!

It is refreshing to see the last two Diznee offerings with stronger dads. Finding Nemo was a gem; even if the dad was a fish, he was going to go to ANY lengths to get his son back. And Mr. Incredible was great, especially when he realizes that being a superhero is second to his relationship with his wife and kids. The part where he tells Dash to go long, and the kid understood because they had *spent quality time together* said a lot. The reviewer here gave it a B, but then I don't think he has kids, or boys, anyway. Great boy movie: action, explosions, and the right amount a kissing to dive under the seats to... I hope there will be a sequel to this.

Saw it yesterday with my boys (5, 9, 18). We all thought it totally rocked. And Dash' delighted chuckle when he saw he was running on water tickled me, too. There was so much to love about it, as a conservative, a father, a family man....

I'd be scared to be a Pixar CEO today. I mean, EVERY TIME they've knocked it out of the park. Statistically and accordig to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, they just have to whiff one, sometime; and then everyone will lament the ruiation of Pixar.

But, as Buzz Lightyear might say, "NOT TODAY!"

Best reason(s) yet to see it. A breath of fresh air in the tv/movie/commercial world, since we are often bombarded with idiot dad, powerful & emasculating mom and 'adult' kids who humor parents and call the shots. It sounds good to me, these freeper reviews make it seem like a must see for me & my family.

Took my boys (ages 5, 9, 18) again last night — loved it the first time, liked it even better the second time.

A group of about six adults sat in the row in front of us. No kids. They were loving it. Eloquent testimony to the film.
