Incredibles 2 (2018)

Director: Brad Bird. Cast (voices): Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Sarah Vowell, Huck Milner, Catherine Keener, Bob Odenkirk, Samuel L. Jackson, Isabella Rossellini, Jonathan Banks. 118 min. Rated PG. Animation.

A good example of how over-promoting a movie can spoil the fun. The ads and trailers of this long-awaited sequel heralded two of the film's concepts: the cuteness of having a superhero baby in the family (merely expanded in some funny sequences), and a mother defined as the 'under-appreciated super-heroine', a concept which through some boring conversations that entirely fly over the kids' heads, is juxtaposed against its counterpart, the 'under-appreciated super-villainess'. Also, with some action scenes as fillers. Let's just say Pixar didn't deliver much further than the trailer.
