Super sequel

"Incredibles 2" (⋆⋆⋆⋆) is Pixar at its best, blending technical mastery with the creative dash of an independent-minded storyteller. Technically a sequel to the 2004 original, it's actually more of a continuation of that rich, multithemed story, the first Pixar feature with a truly layered cast of characters and a PG rating for edgy action. How wonderful it is to find a hugely entertaining movie that's also heartfelt and treats its characters — and audience — as intelligent individuals.
