It took 14 years to bring this sequel to market because director, Brad Bird, didn’t want to make the typical “money grab” parlaying the success of a film with a quick sequel, but waited until the right story emerged to follow up the first one…and it shows. This one packs a serious combination of doing the right thing, caring for others, and the love of family. Despite all their incredible gifts and powers this superhero family defeats the ultimate enemy by succeeding as a family through the love of one another. Great one for the whole family.
