My Entire Family Watched ‘Incredibles 2’ Together and It Was Perfect

So I watched Incredibles 2, and IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT. Why?

Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Frozone, Violet, Dash, and Jack Jack returned exactly where they left off…

…Fighting the Mole Man! Now, I will not fail to mention that it took 14 YEARS TO MAKE THIS FIGHT GO DOWN! Not even Mike Tyson took this long to promote his bouts…(though at this point Conor McGregor might surpass Disney’s record.) Let’s go Irishman, we want blood.

In conclusion, The Underminer vs. the Parr family was the most hyped battle to ever grace my eyes in a theater, (except the first boxing bout I saw at MSG), and it delivered. Watching Mr. Incredible destroy another city, forcing superheros to go underground once again & witnessing Mr. Incredible get blown up in a boiler explosion while Dash lays dead in a casket…Okay I’ll stop.

Joking. Or am I?

But a son does get eaten by his mother in the previews.

You know what, I’m gonna stop talking about how great the movie was tell the 5 reasons why my Incredibles 2 movie experience WAS SUPER (ha clever Brian):

  1. In a 40-person theater, I knew mom, dad, Maureen, Brianne, Kiera, Claire, Faith, Grace, Brianne’s two best friends, and my girlfriend Kait. (I know I spell it weird). That means over 25% of the room was my peeps, all spread out in random parts throughout the super comfortable red fluffy reclinable AMC cushions of love.
  2. Those super comfortable red fluffy reclinable AMC cushions of love. (I mean how nice are those seats?)
  3. I was surrounded by fanatic dads/sons/daughters/friends. You haven’t lived until you experienced watching a movie with real REAL fans…like the “I’m wearing matching Incredibles T-shirts with you to the premiere” fans or the “I’m 24 but IDGAF, I’m taking my dad with me and every time Mr. Incredible talks I’m giggling” fans, or the “Shut up, you’re a kid who doesn’t even know how much this PG movie means to us” kind of fans. – It’s pure entertainment from the screen to the seats, that kind of environment is invigorating.
  4. Candy. (Thank you mom for sneaking me candy & Kaitlin for buying me crack cocaine (aka cinnamon pretzels and an ICEE)) Ya’ll know I love sugar…this was the cherry on top (pun intended).
  5. The movie. I won’t give spoilers, and yes I was kidding about Dash’s fatality. But watch it, it was everything an Incredibles fan hopes for. Funny, laughable, dark, exciting, lovable, sweet, raunchy (at times…gotta love Disney), and fun – it was an awesome (almost) 2-hourish journey.

Oh, and there are NO end credit scenes. Your welcome.
