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.”
