Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible) is left to care for the kids while Helen (Elastigirl) is out saving the world. (IMDb)
The superhero politics thread feels a little tired and uninteresting, and the other main catch-the-villain plot is nothing special either (though Screenslaver’s monologue about heroes and the people was a standout moment for both). Fortunately, the characters and humour are fabulous (awkward Violet is a delight–see her embarrassing mishap at the restaurant; the remarkable Jack-Jack is a riot–see his raccoon fight, inter-dimensional travel) and the animated action is excellent and thrilling.
7.5/10 (Really Good)
I agree with you about the superhero politics narrative has been played out many times before (Civil War and Dawn of Justice, etc). I think the movie should’ve been release a few years ago to fully impact on that narrative thread. Still, the movie was great and I love seeing all the characters again, especially Jack-Jack.
