Linkshoch Wonderful Movie

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
cricketbat Even though Cars 2 is a Disney/Pixar production about espionage, it's sadly quite boring. I think part of the problem comes from the fact that they rely on most of the humor coming from Mater - and that doesn't work. Mater is like Tabasco sauce, a little bit is fine, but too much is overpowering. This movie just doesn't have the heart that other Pixar films have.
prezjay-76791 This movie was made exclusively for money. I don't think this movie is supposed to fit in the timeline at all. It doesn't start where Cars 2 ended, and doesn't end where Cars 3 started.This movie was dull at best. 5/10
solomondavid-93478 First off,10 stars is too much, but i believe this movie needs a push in the ratings. I'm not in the hate club for this film. Let me ask the critics, wasn't this the last pixar film that showed how bold they were? They were bold enough to make a different film. After the terrible criticism this bold and different movie received, Pixar just lost their nerve. They made safe * good for rotten tomatoes* movies. What about inside out? You ask. Yes, its good at a creative level. But there is no strong opponent or conflict, leaving you unsatisfied about the story (i haven't seen coco, yet). Coming to this film, there is good action, but the story is too complicated for kids (Pixar films are aimed at adults too). Movie has a lot of cool scenes, and overall its a great film. Getting away from a racing plot line was good too.
Ian (Flash Review)Cars 2 switches tracks a bit from being based in a small town to world-wide jet setter and oddly Mater seems to take center stage in this film. This film plays out like a Bond film and Mater sort of like the Pink Panther (if I understand that character correctly) as someone who inadvertently gets in the way of criminals and their plans and sort of helps the secret agents along the way, while McQueen competes in worldwide races. As an automobile and racing fan, I loved this film as there were a plethora of fun, foreign and classic cars all mixed in along the way and the races mixed NASCAR, Formula 1, Rally, and other endurance sports cars; pretty neat. From a parent of a small child perspective, it was a little advanced for kids as there was a theme of big oil vs alternative fuels and a lot more guns and peril for a G Rated movie and from the first Cars. Overall, it was fun and exciting and amusing humor of Mater the rural bloke vs international high scale people.
