Cars
Lightning McQueen, a hotshot rookie race car driven to succeed, discovers that life is about the journey, not the finish line, when he finds himself unexpectedly detoured in the sleepy Route 66 town of Radiator Springs. On route across the country to the big Piston Cup Championship in California to compete against two seasoned pros, McQueen gets to know the town's offbeat characters.

Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
This movie is among the best stories ever written. The soundtrack involves the one watching, remarkable scenes and a profound message, marked the childhood of millions of children, young people and adults. When it was released, I did not expect it to be that cool. I am in love with this work!
Cars is not bad at all, but it's not great either. It starts off on a pretty high not but it definitely falls and rises up from grace a few times. It's 2nd quarter is when things got messy and kind of boring, there was really no plot development in the 2nd quarter which was kind of a bummer.Then it was able to get back on track just in time for the 3rd quarter when the plot boomed on us. Radiator Springs and it's residents was the high point of this film, the races really weren't great. Then at the final quarter things kind of settle, things were still alright but it definitely wasn't as good as it's 3rd quarter. Cars was an OK movie but it had some pretty big flaws. 1st quarter 7.5/10 2nd quarter 5/10 3rd quarter 8.5/10 4th quarter 8/10
"Cars" was never one of my favorite PIXAR movies, even back in the days when I was an ardent fanboy. But before I say anything else about it, the animation is resplendent, above reproach and characteristic of the studio's reputed craft.It's everything else that isn't. This movie lacks the heart of the studio's other titles (say, "Toy Story" or . . . hell, any of them) and it grinds down to a halt once the story moves away from the race track. From there, it's lots of Larry the Cable Guy, awkward gags, and awful cover songs. It's completely fair to say that Michael Keaton - in his few minutes' worth of presence - steals this thing.But it's shocking to learn that this "Doc Hollywood" rip-off was a passion project for John Lasseter.It's not good.5/10
This film is really great and well done. Beautiful CGI, great voice cast, a pretty great story, and an overall clever concept. It truly is a staple in the list of Pixar movies and would be loved by most people who haven't seen it yet. I say it's a clever concept because it really goes all out into car-ifying the world, which may sound weird and random, but once you see it, you would be surprised by how well Pixar has done it. The story is fantastic as well, as it depicts the life of Lightning McQueen as well as his experience at Radiator Springs after he fixes the road of the town. This film is awesome, and I recommend it to anyone who likes cars and/or Pixar or anyone, really.
