Incredible
November 9th, 2004
So, uh. Wow.
I didn’t even really think about The Incredibles in terms of being a gorgeous CG film, because I was so busy being blown away with how it’s the best superhero movie ever made. It’s Batman, X-Men, and six or seven Bond films all rolled together into one seamless, gripping, heartfelt film. Also not little kids’ fare: there was plenty of gunplay, talk about death, and grappling with purpose. Sorry, Sulley, but you’re so Saturday morning compared to Incredibles.
While watching the credits, I asked Erin, “What was the last movie I said was the best movie I’d ever seen?” She replied, “Sky Captain.“
So I said, “There’s a tiny little crater, a scar on the ground, where Sky Captain used to be.”
