Wow!! #Incredibles2 is a blast. It does a great job building on the characters and the world, and it’s super funny and action packed throughout. I had my doubts, but was thoroughly impressed. Will go down as one of the best titles of the summer. pic.twitter.com/jxR3U4SNoo

Even those who didn’t want to see a sequel to The Incredibles are now glad that Bird returned for a second installment.
I spent 14 years arguing that the world didn’t need an #Incredibles2 . After tonight, I would welcome an INCREDIBLES 3 with open arms.

Pixar has a long and storied history of churning out timeless hits, as well as producing solid sequels to their beloved classics. With that in mind, seeing someone tweet that Inredibles 2 is the best Pixar sequel since 2010’s Toy Story 3 is extremely high praise.
INCREDIBLES 2 is easily Pixarโs best sequel since TOY STORY 3.
Pixar did a fantastic job taking the qualities of the Parr family from the first film and building upon that in this film.
Heads up, Jack Jack steals this whole movie. #Incredibles2

Many of the trailers for Incredibles 2 featured Jack-Jack’s new powers, and it looks as though the movie highlights what he brings to the table. There are a ton of critics blowing up about how great the Parr baby is in the movie, saying that he absolutely steals the show.
#Incredibles2 is such a friggin delight! Family dynamic is brilliant yet again but WOW is Jack Jack a scene stealer. And that score! More A+ work from Michael Giacchino that Iโm gonna need to own.
