Spoiler-free review of ‘Incredibles 2’
By Jackie De Freitas | July 2, 2018Viewers have waited 14 years. For those of us in college, “The Incredibles” first came into our life during an impressionable time. Some of us first met the Incredibles when we were less than 10 years old. The movie has played on cable networks countless times.

With giggle-inducing comedy and jaw-dropping animation, “Incredibles 2” needs to be seen by all ages.
