Incredibles 2 review!

Image result for incredibles 2Alright! I saw Incredibles 2 last night, and I do have one complaint:
The first film is called the Incredibles.
This one is called Incredibles 2.
Why did they leave out the "the?" It's confusing.

Incredibles 2 (II) is a story about Elastigirl (Helen Parr) leaving the family to work for a businessman named Winston Deavor. Mr. Incredibles (Bob Parr) stays home and watches the kids, until they both meet up and fight the villain, Screenslaver.
Spoiler-free review: This was an excellent Pixar movie and maybe better than the Incredibles.

Spoilers ahead:
The biggest problem was Screenslaver. He didn't really have a motivation, but then it's a twist, and it turns out that he's just a pizza guy who was hypnotized by the mask he wears. The real villain is Winston's sister, Evelyn Deavor, who is bitter about the supers ever since they failed to rescue their father from being killed.

Now, I didn't hate Screenslaver as much as I thought I would, but throughout the movie, Evelyn really does sound like she has a grudge, making it easy to figure out who it was. It was just a letdown after Syndrome.

Everything else:

In this movie, it really expands more on the family, which is nice, and has Jack-Jack in a bigger role than he was in the Incredibles, which is good. Jack-Jack is awesome in the movie. Unfortunately, you get even less time with Edna Mode, the scene stealer from the first film. However, you could totally have a Pixar Short with Edna and Jack-Jack. That would be great.
I like the humor, the new characters (Especially Voyd), and that Jack-Jack V Raccoon scene.
Give me a movie about that. Now.
Image result for voydThe Jack Jack Vs the Raccoon scene could very well be one of the greatest fight scenes in all of cinema.
It is the perfect sequel. It expands the world, introduces new characters, and answers questions from the first film, like "Are supers now legal?" and "What are Jack-Jack's powers, exactly?"
I love the Incredibles 2. Go see it. Now.


Also, the Bao Pixar short I didn't like. I thought I would, but do to some poor editing (Like, was the Bao a guy the whole time and was it just his story or did he turn into a human?), it made no sense.
