Standard Saturday night family fare in this animated superhero movie. It wasn't a bad film, in fact it was about as average as a film can be. As I normally do with animated films, I spent most of it trying to work out who was voicing the characters. The voice of the villain - whose name I don't recall - proving very recognisable but one I couldn't quite work out without the help of Wikipedia which reliably informs me that it was Jason Lee, most famous for My Name Is Earl.
The animation, as always with Pixar films, was excellent and the action sequences were fun as well. The main drawback of the film was the storyline which seemed rather generic and derivative of superhero movies and any film in which the protagonist comes out of retirement for 'one last fight.'
For kids a bit younger than me, the film is almost perfect but, after watching Inception, kids films don't have the required complexity for me.... although I do still want to see Toy Story 3.
