Nonureva Really Surprised!

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

ErikPedersen1 The talented people at Pixar have brought us many excellent films over the years such as Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Ratatouille, Inside Out, and most recently Coco, to name a few. Unfortunately, as I watched Cars 2, I became increasingly dismayed as I began to realize it was the first film from Pixar that I actively disliked. Granted, I did not care much for the original Cars in 2006, but I would not go so far as to say it is a straight-up bad film. Cars 2, on the other hand, is very much so.The major differences between the first and second film is that whereas the first focuses on Owen Wilson's character, Lightning McQueen, going through a decent amount of character growth before a large racing competition, the second oddly focuses on the first film's comic relief character, Tow Mater (voiced by Larry the Cable Guy), being caught up in a plot involving secret agents and a monocle-wearing super villain. Meanwhile, McQueen and his new racing problem is relegated to something of a backdrop.The crux of the issue in this film, for myself at least, is the focus on Tow Mater, who I find annoying at the best of times and insufferable at the worst. Unfortunately for me, he is in the majority of this nearly two-hour long film. Additionally, the story itself is, simply put, dull. This is the sort of plot you have seen in many, many spy/action films before - there is really nothing new to see here. All in all, the story ends up feeling deflated and tedious as a result.However, despite my criticisms, I understand that this is a film targeted for a much younger audience than myself. I am sure children who see this film will indeed have a great deal of fun with it, but I am disappointed since Pixar films usually appeal to both children and adults. In Cars 2, sadly, there is very little for older audiences unless you like Larry the Cable Guy.I will give credit where it is due, however. Cars 2, in terms of visuals, animation, and voice-acting has a level of quality that is to be expected from a Pixar release with a production budget of $200 million. For that, I have to give the film at least some points.Overall, this would be an okay but completely unremarkable film if Larry the Cable Guy did not have such a large presence in it. As it stands though, listening to Tow Mater chattering throughout the 106 minute runtime brings my opinion of it from roughly neutral to moderately negative.

jerry Cars 2 started off pretty alright, but it quickly took a turn for the worst. It started in the place we know in love and I liked it, it was chill and fun. But Mater being the main character stunk, a little bit of Mater is good but if you add too much of him you're setting up for failure. The 2nd quarter is where it got bad, no good parts at all, Franchesco was your one of the mill show off nothing more nothing less. It felt so same old same old. Then it got even worse by the 3rd quarter. Mater, Finn, and Holly took up way too much of it with their boring side story. The only good thing was that the the race tracks were cool and unique. They tried to make up ground in the 4th quarter but it was just too late. Cars 2 is Pixar's biggest mistake and will be for quite sometime. 1st quarter 7/10 2nd quarter 4/10 3rd quarter 2.5/10 4th quarter 4.5/10

frankjones-84156 Cars 2 is the Pixar movie you think you hate but it is actually kind of okay. I wasn't "very disappointed" as a lot of other people were, but I wasn't amazed. The animation is great but the story was poor. It had all of this spy nonsense and Mater was the protagonist. That's what I didn't like about the movie. The Tokyo race was a lot of fun despite those "crashes" from the cars. I'll say that it was an "average" movie.

imkadz Dreamworks has this habit of releasing a good movie, then a below-mediocre sequel.Congratulations Pixar, you're becoming like Dreamworks.Pixar USED to release original content, 7 original movies in a row is absolutely impressive, and all 7 of these movies entertained me throughout the runtime. Pixar was pratically a GOD in the animation department, and have earned MORE than 20 Oscars.So, why is Cars 2 a blunder? I mean, Toy Story 2 wasn't that bad really.Because McQueen to be honest, doesn't really feel like the main character anymore, now it's that redneck truck, and this spy car who I haven't bothered to remember his name, because these are just boring subplots that doesn't feel like it has to be there for any reason. Hell, there's no reason this movie should exist! Why make a sequel of a "meh" movie? Oh yeah, BECAUSE OF MERCHANDISE.This is humiliating Pixar, I thought you wanted to make original movies, not make bank of a crappy film.All the other side characters feel like they were pushed to the side, as McQueen and Redneck have the spotlight.I can't complain about the animation though. Every Pixar movie excels in its animation, and it always looks stunning.Alas, the crappy plot and characters are just too noticeable for it to be "just a small error".So, Pixar, heres to your first blunder, you sell outs.
