Great writing. A mid-life crisis movie wrapped up in Super Heroics, yet is able to avoid the gloom pitfalls that go with the subject matter. Little touches like the RV were delightful.
The plot was quite predictable, but in a highly self-referential sort of way. I also like how the characters got an appropriate amount of screen time - enough for you to understand their conflict, but not so much to distract from the other dynamics.
Great art direction. The shapes, the character designs, the colors, the overall FEEL of the film were brilliant. There were tonnes of scenes that looked like they were 2D instead of 3D animation. (by the way, does Brad Bird have an obsession with old-school comics?
)
Great action sequences. I especially enjoyed the ElastiGirl scenes and scenes where the whole family use their powers to augment each other.
