5/5
"La mejor cinta de animación 3D jamás realizada."  Cinenganos  Alex Ramirez

8/10
"Stunningly animated, if somewhat derivative, story of an ordinary, extraordinary family."  Movie Gazette  Anton Bitel

B+
"And get this, not one single flatulence joke to be found in the entire film. Thank you, Brad Bird. Thank you."  FilmJerk.com  Brian Orndorf

5/5
"as stylish as Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow but with more depth, and as giddy as Toy Story but with more of a soul"  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

"When no one's special, everyone starts navel-gazing and feeling arrogant, rejecting opposition, diversity, and responsibility."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

5/5
"Pixar Animation spends an entire year on each of their mammoth productions on the scripts alone. Could this explain why their movies are consistently clever and entertaining?"  eFilmCritic.com  Dan Lybarger

B
"It’s funny, dramatic, even heroic: “The Incredibles” largely lives up to its name. But you’ll still leave the film feeling that Pixar left something on the table."  EDGE Boston  David Foucher

4/4
"By far the best of the CGI-animated films in the Disney canon, a wondrous and exciting spectacle that is just as enticing narratively as it is visually."  Cinemaphile.org  David Keyes

2.5/4
"A masterfully crafted entertainment that devolves into an overlong, overly loud, and disappointingly stock shoot 'em up."  Movie Boeuf  David N. Butterworth

2.5/4
"...far from engrossing..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

3/4
"Boundlessly enjoyable, extravagant to look at, and a frequent adrenaline rush."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

3/4
"The Incredibles may fight to save the world, but they teach us to know thyself."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

4/5
"Los Increíbles es lo más parecido que vas a poder encontrar a una montaña rusa (...)"  Uruguay Total  Enrique Buchichio

A-
"A warm, funny, exciting film for which I feel more affection the more I think about it."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

4/4
"I sincerely hope that there’s an Incredibles 2 somewhere down the road. These characters are too endearing and way too much fun to be left hanging at the end."  eFilmCritic.com  Erik Childress

A-
"Pixar's done it again, etc., etc. It's almost boring at this point."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

3.5/4
"Outrageously funny and imaginative...the latest thumping thrill ride in the animation genre. A snappy and smart superhero saga that’s intriguingly charming in its chaotic mode"  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

B-
"Moderately engaging but hardly a classic."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/5
"The Incredibles promotes a new moral slogan for our times: The family that fights evil-doers together stays together."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3.5/4
"Exemplary mixture of top-notch storytelling, visual razzle-dazzle, accessible humor, and involving action."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

4/4
"Brad Bird has crafted a sleek and original homage to the derring-do of our most cherished superheroes."  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

4/4
"This remarkably entertaining and meaty motion picture is all eye candy and goofy entertainment for children, but underneath lies a biting denunciation on a number of contemporary topics."  Sci-Fi Movie Page  James O'Ehley

5/5
"Funny and frantic? Sure -- but The Incredibles is also one of the greatest adventures the movies have given us."  Netflix  James Rocchi

3/4
"From first frame to last the effects are flawlessly detailed and the design fabulously executed."  Palo Alto Weekly  Jeanne Aufmuth

10/10
"Wow. I mean, really -- Wow!"  Window to the Movies  Jeffrey Chen

15/100
"Since it’s too much a crowd-pleaser to be critical of the violent payoff that it delivers, it’s tough not to take its apparent message seriously."  MovieMartyr.com  Jeremy Heilman

8/10
"Original adventures such as The Incredibles are the ones that will have families watching them over and over and over again, over the years."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

4/4
"In a word: Incredible."  Big Picture Big Sound  Joe Lozito

78/100
"still indicative of a genre in its infancy, nowhere near as steadfastly classic as the cream of the cell-animated crop. Brilliant stuff, but not outstanding."  FilmFocus  Joe Utichi

8/10
"The Incredibles has humor, thrills, and adventure, but most of all it has heart."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

4/4
"'Divertida, honesta y extremadamente inteligente, es un claro ejemplo del nivel de arte que puede llegar a alcanzar el cine. Sencillamente inolvidable'"  Moviola  Jorge Avila Andrade

"You must take your family to see this in the theater. You can only really appreciate it on the big screen."  3BlackChicks Review  Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel

4.5/5
"I had a heck of a time...I guarantee that money spent here is money spent wisely."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

4.0/4.0
"... the greatest superhero film ever."  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

5/5
"Bottom line, The Incredibles has some great funny moments, but it also tells a decent story - and that’s the catch when making any kind of movie."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

3/4
"Gorgeously designed and animated."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

B+
"As a die-hard Red Sox fan, the highest praise I can give Pixar's latest is that it held my full attention after a madcap and largely sleepless Victory Parade weekend."  FilmStew.com  Larry Carroll

A-
"Mix X-Men with True Lies and Spy Kids then add the retro design of The Powerpuff Girls all tied together with the magical technology of Pixar..."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

3.5/5
"Brad Bird's richly imagined, retro-moderne homage to the superhero-fueled daydreams of his youth creates a vibrantly original mythology."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

3.5/4
"One of these days, Pixar is going to take a misstep, but now is not the time."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

7/10
"Pixar does it again with a comedy/action film about a family of superheroes. The writing is the real attraction. THE INCREDIBLES is subversive, heart-warming, and fun."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Mark R. Leeper

"[S]imply a great film, overflowing with humor and heart and soul and with lots of interesting things to say about love and family and following your dreams..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

3.5/4
"As one who’s ingested a lot of superhero comics, books, and movies over the years, I can attest that this works as a genuine superhero movie, not just as a family film."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

A-
"The brainiacs at Pixar have created human characters as vivid and believable and utterly endearing as any who have ever appeared on film"  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

A-
"The year’s foremost animation showstopper."  Lessons of Darkness  Nick Schager

5/5
"É irônico que alguns dos personagens mais complexos do ano tenham surgido não em uma produção estrelada por atores de carne-e-osso, mas sim por figuras criadas em computador."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

4.5/5
"A movie that demonstrates once again why the studio continues to leave competing product from the likes of Disney and DreamWorks in the dust."  Film Threat  Pete Vonder Haar

4.5/5
"An exceptional superhero story as well as a convincing family movie."  Film Threat  Pete Vonder Haar

5/5
"A brilliant blend of fast-paced comedy, dazzling visuals and heartfelt emotion that put most other contemporary films-animated or otherwise-to shame..."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

5/5
"So full of heart and soul that you can actually feel it becoming a classic while you're watching it."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline
