One of the most anticipated movies of the year – nay! – the decade is only a week away, and fans can hardly contain themselves. INCREDIBLES 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the beloved 2004 original, and the movie will have incredibly big shoes to fill. How does it stack up? The first round of critics and journalists (and Pixar alum Patton Oswalt) have seen the movie and it seems Pixar has done it again. The early reactions are raving about the movie’s heart, humor and tremendous action scenes, with viewers claiming that director Brad Bird has delivered a worthy sequel. Composer Michael Giacchino is also getting some praise for his terrific work on the score. Some reactions say the story may not be as fresh as the one in the original, but it seems that hardly distracts from the animated superhero thrills.
Read some of the reactions below!

Absolutely loved INCREDIBLES 2.
As with most Pixar films, it finds that perfect balance of a film plays huge for adults & kids. Messages are important yet never preachy.
Fantastic pacing & beautiful score from Giacchino. Bird is a master with action. Loved Jack-Jack!

#Incredibles2 is such a friggin delight! Family dynamic is brilliant yet again but WOW is Jack Jack a scene stealer. And that score! More A+ work from Michael Giacchino that I’m gonna need to own.

Wow!! #Incredibles2 is a blast. It does a great job building on the characters and the world, and it's super funny and action packed throughout. I had my doubts, but was thoroughly impressed. Will go down as one of the best titles of the summer. pic.twitter.com/jxR3U4SNoo

#incredibles2 is a serviceable sequel, a fun adventure but not on the same level of the original. Jack Jack & Edna steal the show, (please tell me they are making a short film with Edna babysitting Jack Jack). Fantastic production design, another great score by @m_giacchino.

Just walked out of #Incredibles2. It improves on practically everything from the original. Its visual style is stunning to look at, the characters are fantastic, and the adventure is a blast.
There’s a little bit of predictability in the story, but I was so down for this ride. pic.twitter.com/O1KJyqVg2i

#Incredibles2 is a giddy, slick bundle of fun. The action set pieces are tasty, impressive, never over-egged. Plenty for kids and adults to get their teeth into and a few belly laughs too. The design, audio and visual, really make it pop. A worthy sequel to a tough act to follow. pic.twitter.com/8qmxGkmQzj

It should surprise no one that #Incredibles2 is a flat out masterpiece — thrilling, moving and impeccably designed. Worth every second of the 14 year wait. pic.twitter.com/ll0yPjdBi2

Incredibles 2 is excellent. Super funny, super smart, & the action is bigger and better than before. It shares some narrative DNA with the first film but it works nonetheless. Another Pixar winner. pic.twitter.com/RnB1DIIPsv

Time for some good news! Pixar’s #Incredibles2 is fantastic! Sweet, hilarious, and terrific pacing w/ a breezy story packed w/ action & heart. Adored it and the short #Bao before it. My favorite summer movie so far this season pic.twitter.com/WrCSN4J948

Hey, 14 years was worth the wait! INCREDIBLES 2 is a whole lot of fun. (I also love that like half the cast of BETTER CALL SAUL do voices in this movie.) People who loved the first movie will be pleased.

Like always you should wait to see the movie for yourselves in order to make up your own mind, but it seems people are loving this new movie about as much as you want them to. Pixar doesn't have the best track record with recent sequels, which includes the forgettable CARS 2 & 3, and MONSTERS UNIVERSITY. Even FINDING DORY, which earned great reviews and made hundreds of millions at the box office, fell short of the original's legacy. Hopefully, INCREDIBLES 2 packs enough of a wallop to meets the standards of the original, thus becoming the hero of the summer movie season.
INCREDIBLES 2 arrives June 15.
