Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Powerful

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

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.

(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.

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.

Star race car Lightning McQueen and his pal Mater head overseas to compete in the World Grand Prix race. But the road to the championship becomes rocky as Mater gets caught up in an intriguing adventure of his own: international espionage. Cars 2 is probably the worst reviewed animated film or sequel i have ever seen it got a 39% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 6.3 in IMDb and honestly i get it the movie does have flaws the humor doesn't always work the film even turns into horror at some point then goes back to humor, action, spy, drama and it mixes everything in a way that sometimes it works and others doesn't another bad thing is that the characters that everyone wanted to see from the first film have a 10 to 25 minutes of screen time and the new characters Holley Shiftwell and Finn McMissile were pretty good but the villains lacked originality they looked and sounded more like a 1966 campy Batman villain but instead of being a humans they were cars. But in the end Cars 2 is an entertaining sequel that is not as good as the first film but it's not bad either i hope tho Cars 3 is way better and closer to the 1st movie 8/10.
