Incredibles 2 received great reviews. Here is what the professional critics had to say:

It's a great film about the possibility of greatness.

--The Washington Post 

. . . this sequel will make audiences laugh, think, and (hopefully) appreciate their parents and siblings.

--Common Sense Media

A visually thrilling experience.

--The Miami Herald

The Incredibles is one of the year's most clever and visually arresting computer-animated films, enlivened by a well-developed and credible cast of characters who just happen to be superheroes.
