Reviews
Diagonaldi Very well executed
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Oliver Thatcher Watson After the first movie came out in 2006, some thought that that film was the worst Pixar film. But even at what seemed to be their worst, the film was one of the most beautifully animated and surprisingly great films of that year, so it wasn't crazy to think that Pixar could do no wrong. But this movie is a massive letdown that proved that theory to be wrong, because this film is easily the absolute worst from Pixar. I really wanted to like this film, but how stupid and ridiculous the story and premise are, it's nearly impossible to take this movie even remotely seriously. I liked it as a kid, but even then, I knew this wasn't anywhere near as great as the other Pixar movies. Now that I grew up, the flaws I was oblivious to when I was a kid are now more apparent than ever. First off, this movie is stupid. I mean REALLY stupid. I don't know who in the name of god thought that making cars spies was a good idea for a film, because that is one of the absolute dumbest things I've ever heard. It just makes no sense! Out of all the movies to make spy themed, Cars??? Why??? That's so dumb! Might as well make a movie about carrots that work at an office or a shoe that works as a police officer. I mean, why not if there are films like this, am I right? Despite this movie being stupid, this film does have a few highlights. One is that the animation looks stunning and beautiful, and is still one of the best I've seen in a film yet. Another is the structure of this movie, as everything seems to be at a very good pace, meaning that i'm almost 100% positive that children will have a lot of fun with this movie, because it can be very entertaining thanks to its good pace. The voice cast is great too. Everybody did a great job and I think Michael Caine was great as Finn McMissile. But, that's it when it comes to pros. I just can't recommend this to anyone else besides children, because i'm sure they'll enjoy it, but for everyone over 12, it's best to just skip this movie, because Cars 3 is the true sequel that the first film needed, and that movie is much more worth your time than this film by a landslide. Overall, despite this movie not necessarily being awful, it really is one of the dumbest movies of all time.
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.
mary It is true that this film is not like others Pixar films.But it is not acctualy so bad.Many review-writers is telling that this film is huge disappointment,and I think it is not true.I think that expectations was too big.So,this is story about cars.About one friendship.They are completely different,but they are best friends.There is lot of nice,simple humor in the story.The scenario is "smooth" and it is easy watchable.There are much of action,surprises,cool techniques,like in James Bond. Yes,we could not expect that,but it is really OK .The characters are in many different places and they are meeting a different people.Characters are 3D,they have feelings and we feel empathy about them.But,there is a "dark side" of film,which is not like Pixar.Enemies,propaganda and that stuff.These problems confuses and my 10 year old brother.It is not ugly or violent,it is just confusing to kids.About animation,I will not discuss.It is still Pixar;great animations and visuals and everything about it.This is family film and it is really relaxing and enjoyable.Maybe sometimes is confusing,but it is not acctualy so bad.Because of action and messages that film gives: 7/10
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.
