The Incredibles, a movie recommendation

[rover]

Many many many thumbs up!

This has to be one of the best movies of the year period. Not just for kids doesn't do it justice. Really, head out and see this cartoon, it is great. Exciting, great plot, fabulous acting...

OK, if you have to borrow a kid to make an excuse to go, do it. Rated PG, so it is not a bunny and deer Disney movie, but then again the female member of the family always gets killed in those. It got a little suspenseful at times and Sammy was a little afraid here and there, but funny and great...INCREDIBLE!!!

Just had to share.

Yeah, cartoons, the only movies I go to see these days. This one is great though.

Heck! If it has good photography, it's definitely worth a look.

I miss going to cartoon movies. I enjoyed them immensely in spite of the fact that Snowhite drove me insane with fear of the witch (I slept with my back to the wall, looking at my bedroom door for years, always afraid of finding her behind my back). Bambi, of course, hit me really bad (probably the reason why I never got fascinated by hunting), and I dreamed about Wendy after seeing Peter Pan.

Those were the days...

I'm with you, Rover. Nothing beats the weekend blues like a good session with Tom & Jerry! 😀

Well, who's the cat? Ben or Jerry?

Thanks Rover. I'll watch for this when the DVD comes out.

I no longer enjoy movie theatres with the sticky coke spills on the floor, people talking throughout the film, and, these days, folks getting cell phone calls and actually answering them in the theatre.

Guess I'm getting to be an old fud 🙄

You can all now call me Marvelous Hyper Dude. I went to the Incredibles web site and found out my super powers and super hero name. I have the super hero ID card to prove it too.

joe how many of us can you fit your home theatre room?

 

[Pherdinand]

thanks. So far, the cartoons i really enjoyed (being grown up, at least pretending to be grown up😀) are Spirited away and The nightmare before Christmas. Shrek (both) was also fun.

 

[Pherdinand]

I mean, thanks marvelous hyper dude.

 

[rover]

I mean, thanks marvelous hyper dude.

joe how many of us can you fit your home theatre room?

it's very small, it can seat 4, including me.

i'm not sure how many seats a hyper dude needs though?

Agreed. It's the kind of movie where you'll find yourself remembering a particularly hilarious line or scene a day or so later and then catch yourself laughing out loud (attracting sideways glances and murmured comments about you sanity)😀

 

[oftheherd]

It has been getting good reviews from critics (whatever that counts for). However, the review here is what counts for me!

Let's see, my grandson is just over six months old. Now obviously, he needs to see this right away. 😀

The movie did $70M worth of business this weekend - astounding. ("The Polar Express" is the next animated blockbuster - it, too, will set records.)

Good to see someone else appreciate 'The Nightmare Before Christmas", Pherdinand!

 

[SolaresLarrave]

I thought Burton's film was extremely wicked... and it was a kind of guilty pleasure to see the guy trash the commercial side of Christmas.

But man... was it a naughty, naughty movie...

Karen and I have not normally been big fans of cartoon movies, but at the last minute we went to see The Incredibles instead of Alfie, and it was hilarious! We both laughed through the entire film -- it was great. And then, the next day people around town and at the market were talking about it. No doubt it will be huge -- it was (forgive me) INCREDIBLE!

May Pixar continue to be 'incredibly' innovative and successful, so CEO Steve Jobs can afford to accept only $1/yr salary as CEO of "insanely great" Apple Computer, contributing to its continued health as well!
