Incredibles 2 (2018 Brad Bird & scr)

Yes, just one writer - Q was marvelling over how detailed the script must be, I was taken by the two cinematographers Mahyar Abousaeedi (camera) and Erik Smitt (lighting). Michael Giacchino's back with his Bond-alike score.


It's a marvellous sequel with little in-jokes for the adults, including (in the background) Godzilla, a seventies kids' TV cartoon and an ad in which the housewife says 'It's so easy, even he could do it'! And a sly reference to Coppola's Dementia 13. But above all a good wife-at-work, husband-at-home twist.


The multi-powered baby ('All babies are full of potential') is a treat.

Joining Craig T Nelson, Holly Hunter, Sarah Vowell and Huck Milner are Bob Odenkirk and Catherine Keener. Samuel L Jackson is Frozone.

The end credits scene is a wonderful animation in itself.
