Incredibles 2 - in which gender stereotypes are challenged, and the villain is a girl. First, I had to rewatch the first one before I saw this, and it was cute. Now, Incredibles 2 has the Incredible Family move into a fancy new house, while Mrs. Incredible is being bankrolled to come back and be a super hero on the down low. Its supposed to generate goodwill towards supers, and might lead to the repeal of anti-super legislation. Keep that in mind, as all of the crimes Mrs. Incredible thwarts are fairly easy to solve, and they are all being perpetrated by the same criminal - The Screen Slaver, who uses strobe lights to hypnotize people into committing the crimes for her. Mrs. Incredible catches on, because she's no dummy, and after the framed Screen Slaver is caught, she won't relent and keeps investigating. There is this dope ass fight scene in a room full of strobing lights, and it looks amazing. Anyways, Mrs. Incredible finds out that the "benevolent" donors who were bankrolling this comeback were actually the using her as a pawn in their hare-brained scheme to make sure the anti-power legislation never gets repealed. Its not a great plan, but its fine. So, the bad guys get defeated and exposed, but there's not a real resolution to the legislative problems. There is a sub plot about Mr. Incredible dealing with the housework and Jack Jack, and the baby fights a raccoon. It's pretty cute. Anyway, then it ends. I suppose they're gonna make another one?
