Clichéd
Never thought I am going to say this for one of Pixar's movies but thisone is totally cliché and predictable.And absence of clichés is why we like Pixar movies in first place. Youdid not know what to expect around the corner. Excitement was all overthe place.But not this time. Artistically it is golden as any other but storywise it failed miserably. This story has been seen countless times inso many movies and cartoons.Real shame for mighty Pixar, beacon of hope for designers and storytellers around the globe. Hope this one will be last bad one they made.

Stunning
An animation movie is worth what's worth that's all. But this one has awhirl of stunning images and scenes technically almost perfect andextremely efficient and impressive. The humanized cars are greatlyexpressive in terms of "facial" and "body" features and gestures thatmake us always forget they aren't people. Their movements look humanindeed. And we don't see a single human being all through the movie asif the world was peopled with cars behaving like people and showinghuman feelings and thoughts, some of them being the "bad" and someothers the "good" ones. There also several good humoured sequences likethose performed by the tow van character, a really well conceived one.And the reproduction of cities like Paris, London and Italy are veryrealistic and beautiful almost looking like photos. And the story? Wellthe story the less important aspect of the movie as it often happens inanimation movies. Something about the use of car fuel, the very modernduel between petrol and alternative less polluting fuels which in thisstory involve a fight between the "goodies" who defend the formeragainst the "baddies" that try to discredit it in favour of petrol bymeans of several criminal and violent actions. If you go to see thismovie you'll spend a pleasant time having a visual very effectiveentertainment

Confused by the reviews?
Update: We've watched this 5 times this first week--one being with the commentary. Our 10 year old has requested that he have our first ever Disney Cars birthday party. The mixed reviews almost kept me from purchasing Cars 2. I do not review products very often, but I couldn't resist trying to help future purchasers make it through the jungle of opinions!Here are my comments/kids' reactions (10, 8, 5, 2) to various compliments/complaints mentioned.1. Theme: We like family movies with positive themes. Because of the reviews that said it was a waste of time- or that there wasn't even a theme-I hesitated to buy Cars 2. I was pleasantly surprised! Who could miss the themes? Many more positive lessons learned than in Cars 1. Even our children picked up on the pervasive positive friendship theme (accepting your friends, competitors being friends, being a faithful friend) as well the self acceptance theme. Loved how Tow Mater, once he accepted himself, challenged others to choose happiness over jealousy . Appreciated the spy cars realizing Tow Mater's value underneath all of his rust. 2. Plot: Yes, a bit more sophisticated than Cars 1. Perhaps this is why my husband and I didn't mind watching it on a Sunday afternoon, and then again on the same evening. Our 10 year old enjoyed the mystery/suspense. We didn't mind that it was a more intricate story line than Cars 1. We probably prefer it. It is full of action.Perhaps our 5 year old didn't keep up with the plot/humor, but there were plenty of other reasons for her to stay interested. 3. Setting: Great fun to travel and experience other cultures with McQueen and Tow Mater.3. Audience: Because of the plot, yes, I'd say it is aimed for a slightly older audience...but even our 2 year old enjoyed the boats and the water.4. Music: Cars 1 music was overbearing for us. I'd say Cars 2 was about as equally annoying with the music--about the same number of times we turned it down.5. Potty Humor: I'm still thinking on this one. Okay, I've thought...probably a bit much.6. Gambling/Alcohol: Indeed, so unnecessary. Of everything, this probably bothered us the most...having our heroes partake of these. To have the diner in Radiator Springs now be a bar...discouraging.7. Sexual Innuendos: We forwarded through more of these in Cars 1. What few there are in Cars 2 (1?) were mild in comparison.8. Violence: Yes, lots of guns, shooting, spy chasing--but just resulting in crashing. Our kids understood cars can be restored :) I will say our 10 year old was a bit disheartened at the torture scene--definitely could have left out the word "kill" here. Maybe before watching the first time, you might want your kids prepared some way. 9. Characters: Our children enjoyed meeting new characters. There were enough of the old "friends" included for them. 10. Political Innuendos: Both kinds of fuel were presented positively and negatively. No sinister motives here. It was just a conflict to use for the plot.11. Humor: I can't count how many times we watched different parts to enjoy the laugh-out-loud humor.Delightful! Who can stop laughing at the monster truck? And the voice activation humor?12. Animation: The international scenery and the spy chases were intriguing. This was perhaps my favorite part of seeing the movie--catching all the details. 13. Worth the buy? We enjoyed this ride even more so than Cars 1. Perhaps it is a love/hate decision due to the touch of intense violence/gambling/drinking situations, but we felt we had to forward through as many or more details in Cars 1. Otherwise, we laughed and wowed more in Cars 2. I hope that any future Cars movies will be cleaned up a bit. The need to forward through so many little parts keeps me from giving it 5 stars. Don't miss the ride in case you might enjoy it!

Not a filmmaking landmark, but not a mere retread either
Walt Disney's childhood idyll of a farm family life is the stuff of legend and has influenced many a Disney film and theme park. I can also be said that John Lasseter's childhood of road trips in the southwest, small towns that no longer exist due to superhighways and a love of automobiles is directly attached to what is now two Cars movies.Most critics have been less than kind regarding Disney*Pixar's Cars 2, but the public is clearly honing in on Lasseter's wavelength and responding with enthusiasm (and strong summer box office and huge DVD sales) for the sequel especially for Mater, who takes center stage in this family-friendly spy thriller.In the -- THANK YOU!! -- audio commentary, Lasseter and co-director Brad Lewis offer lots of cool factoids as well as their reasoning behind the creative decisions.Lasseter says, "When we do a sequel, it's not just to retread the same emotional story that the original is. We want to find something new and something different." Little of the movie takes place in Radiator Springs, but rather in colorful, exciting international locales that offer the Pixar artists a chance to dazzle with truly breathtaking aerial views and meticulous details, which I find most enjoyable in high-def Blu-ray (3-D is nice, but you lose some clarlty and I'd rather revel in the details).Lasseter also mentions that the story for Cars 2 sprang from a scene in the first film in which Lightning and Sally (who is not given enough to do in the sequel) see a spy thriller at a drive-in. He loved spy movies as a kid, particularly likes the Bourne series andbourne movies and believes that Cars 2 isn't a spy movie spoof so much as a solid story that can stand on its own.I personally found Cars 2 to be a throwback to the spy shows and films that I grew up with, like The Avengers, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Secret Agent and even Get Smart. These were all somewhat comedic as well as thrilling (especially Smart of course) -- but of all the spy genre films, Cars 2 reminded me most of one of my favorites theatrical features, Hanna-Barbera's The Man Called Flintstone.My I favor you with a parody of the unforgettable theme to this epic adventure, with special Cars 2 lyrics?THE TRUCK CALLED MATERWho do they callWhen gears are startin' to fallWhen all the oil is spillin'And synth fuels beginnin' to brew?The truck called Mater, that's who-oo-oo-oo!Who's always there,There to shoot and fly through the airWho defeats Pacers and GremlinsAnd all those cars we disliked too?The truck called Mater, that's who-oo-oo-oo!He screams after eating wasabiDown to the lobbyTo learn the charmsOf the Japanese joh-onnns!Who is the truckWho succeeds with mostly dumb luckWhile his pal Lightning is winningWho's spinning the crooks like fan belts?The truck called Mater!Who else, who else, who ELLLLLse!!One final note on Cars 2 -- I drove a Gremlin in college and was hysterical with laughter that it and the Pacer were held is such comical "esteem" in Cars 2. They earned the distinction, to be sure.

Screw the critics
It's been a few years since Lightning McQueen learned to take it slow. Now he's been racing, and has won 4 piston cups. After all that, he want to slow done once again. However, when he sees that the world grand pri is coming round, and one of it's racers, is mocking him, Mater (Larry the cable guy) convices him to enter the grand pri.They head to japan, where Mater runs into super spy, Finn McMissile, who thinks Mater is an American spy he wishes to meet with. Him and his partner, Holly shiftwell, take mater on to help them stop the evil Professer Zundapp from using a new alternative fuel to..well you know.The first question you might want answer is "Is it as bad as critics say?". Well, my answer is...No. Not at all! Infact... i loved it!Let me first say the one problem i had, which didn't really bug me that much, but it's still enough to take some points offLike some people have said, it doesn't have the heart all the pixar movies have. There's only one scene of real emotion, and it feels slapped on. But it doesn't really take away from how fun it is.I think what really makes it good, is the spy element. Some people say it's out of place, but i didn't care, it was still pretty cool. Finn is a great character, while not too complex, he is just awesome. This is due to a great performance by Micheal Caine. He just sounds great, and it seems like he had fun with this movie. Everyone does in factNow for the other common complaint: Mater. He's the main character this time around, which bugs people. Personally, i didn't mind it. I love mater, and he's big role in it is fine for me. He plays off well against Finn and Holly,. Mater is also just plain awesome. He ends up figuring out the bad guys plan in a very cool way, and he is bad ass with his new spy statusYes, McQueen isn't in it much, but he is in it. I would of like to see more of him, and as a spy, but it's ok he's not in it much. For those wondering, A113 is on Mater's license plate. Also on the tail of the spy plane Siddeley. Additionally, the number appears beneath the photo of Axlerod's engine when Finn, Holley, and Mater are examining it for the first time.Infact, this has the most A113's in a pixar movie. Pretty cool, eh?The score is pretty cool too. Though it's not the best. The main theme is really good i must say. This is done by the same cuy who composed The Incredibles and Up, just so you know.As for what i think of the negative reviews..eh i don't care anymore. So pixar made a negatively reviewed movie. So what? Everyone makes mistakes once in awhile. Though i do think some of the reviewers are asking too much from this movie.To sum it up, Cars 2 is not the smartest pixar movie, but it's still an incredibly fun ride and i will be watching it for years to come.Score: 8.9/10Oh, and if you wanna know my thoughts on The Toy Story Short, that came with Cars 2, I loved it. It was funny.

wait till it comes out on DVD
This was a horrible disappointment after "Cars". The characterdevelopment is practically non-existent and the whole "big oil is evil"is just blatant demagoguery. The "characters" that made the originalmovie--the quirky Radiator Springs residents--are nearly invisible. Theonly really decent part was the graphics. Basically, this is ananimated, dumbed-down spy-action movie with a G rating--and in tryingto be two things at once, it does neither of them well. Cute in spots,but hardly worth the high ticket prices. If you really want to see thething on the big screen, at least hold off till it hits the dollartheaters.

Mater...Tow Mater. Tow truck by day, Secret Agent by night.
Cars 2 is not what I expected. It was better then I expected back in2006 when CARS made it's debut it was aimed at younger children like myson who was 2 years old when he saw it in the theatre and it capturedhis attention. Now my don id 7 years old and his youngest brother is 2years old and we took them to see CARS 2. They LOVED IT. Cars 2 is notmade for adults it is made for kids pure and simple but Cars 2 grew upwith it's audience. the theme is the same it is about friendship andbeing there for your friends and This time it is also about not beingafraid to be yourself. The Story is not complicated which is goodbecause it is a kids movie after all and those should never be toocomplicated. There is more action in this one then the first one andmaybe a better story in this one then the first. The only drawback isno Paul Newman who sadly died before he could take his part as DocHudson . But We did Get Michael Caine as Finn Mcmissile a secret agentin the James Bond mold. The magic continues. See it and make your mindup for yourself Pixar didn't stumble when they made this flick. Theygrew up and brought more of the magic with them for us to enjoy.

Not pixar's best
When I heard another cars was coming out, I couldn't wait to go see itbecause I loved the first movie and could watch it over and over again.But after the movie I was disappointed with the it(cars 2). It seemedvery long for a pixar movie and half way through my cousin whose 5,started getting bored and started playing with a little toy car. To meit seemed a little confusing for little kid, unlike the first one wherethe concept was easy to grasp. It is not the worst movie by pixar, butit isn't as good as the other movies they've made. They also made themovie more about mater ( lightnings best friend) instead of lightningMcQueen. It got quiet annoying after mater kept doing stupid things. Itis an OK movie, but be prepared to be sitting for a while.

Great! What's all the fuss?
Ok, I just saw the film after reading the bad reviews here and all I have is one question: how many versions of Cars 2 came out this year? The version I just saw was terrific! And I'm talking about the STORY as well as the animation, which, by the way, is the best I've seen since Rango, another unappreciated film that's a little ahead of its time, but now I want to focus on Cars 2.Basically, it's 2 stories: one, a spy story centered around cars running on alternative fuel blowing up in various races around the world; two, the importance of staying true to and defining yourself, specifically, this one's about Tow Mater who, during a trip to the toilet, becomes tangled up in an international conspiracy with 2 British spies.This is a terrific film and I think that the problem people have with it is that it's a little more sophisticated than the first film. As a previous reviewer pointed out, this is more of an evolution from the first film than a sequel. I mean, if a 12 year old kid can download apps to his iphone or ipad he or she shouldn't have a problem understanding this film, which is very basic in comparison. The film has absolutely incredible eye-popping visuals. I rented it on DVD and I will get the blu ray later this week, that's how beautiful it is. The fact that it also has a very decent story and drew a few chuckles out of me is enough. Like I said, don't know what all the negative reviews are about. Sometimes the mob is wrong!!

It is fun while you're watching it
Cars is Lasseter's pet project. But I think he's too close to it. He'sgot that Lucas Star Wars prequel trilogy problem. The people around himeither were in awe of the man who made Pixar and Toy Story or they wereafraid to hurt his feelings since he loves the Cars franchise so much.Pixar efforts have been so well done because they were collaborativeefforts, each fixing each other's problems to make a better project.But with Lasseter off working more directly with Disney, he reallyshould have had a co-director or perhaps given the reins to someoneelse like he did with Toy Story 3.I almost rated this movie higher. It is fun while you're watching it,even if as soon as it's over it becomes too easy to pick apart theproblems. But this is Pixar. They've dominated the animation marketsince Toy Story and have been pushing the boundaries at the AcademyAwards ever since. To see them stumble with a not-so-great film wouldbe one thing. But they're coming off from two Best Picture nominees toa movie that's simply flashy but with little substance. Kids will lovethe bright colors and silly antics, but parents will hate having tothen buy twelve new Mater toys. Cars 2 is stalled and in need of atune-up.

My 8-year-old son loved it
A lot of people need to realize who this movie is targeted at: kids. If you are an adult and reviewing this movie, time to re-think your life choices. ;) My son absolutely loved this movie. The whole "spy" and international intrigue stuff was right up his alley. As for all the conservative idiots who hate this movie ONLY because it goes after "big oil", that is truly sad and a pathetic statement about THEM, not this movie. I did notice that when the first Cars came out, my then-younger son seemed to "fit" that movie. Now that he is older, the more-intense, more-complex story line of the second movie matured with him, if that makes sense.

This movie is bad and Pixar should feel bad
John Lasseter...seriously bro, what's your freaken problem? First ofall, if you're going to do a sequel to the worst Pixar film, at leastkeep the same writers as the first film. Don't get a bunch of peoplewho have never done a Pixar film before just because they'll work forcheap. Secondly, the "Toy Story Toons" short before the movie iscompletely unnecessary. The Toy Story story is finished. There is noneed to keep going. Don't touch it anymore. Thirdly, why did you dothis? We all know it was just for the money via merchandising andeverything, but seriously! Why? Why are you allowing Pixar to stoop tosuch a level? You should feel bad, and I hope you get lots of angryletters. Don't do this ever again. Also, don't see this movie.

Better than you'd think it would be.
The critics may have jumped the gun on this one. Cars 2 is just as funas most other animated movies. Not as good as the rest of Pixar'soutput, but at least on the level of other animated films like Rio. Ifound it to be highly entertaining and exciting. Mater actually makesfor a good protagonist and Larry the Cable Guy is well used in thismovie. This film isn't exactly well- written, but it has a strongenough emotional arc and appealing visuals to make up for it. My onlyserious complaint was that "Git-R-Done" wasn't uttered once in thisfilm. It may not be as good as Toy Story 3, but Cars 2 is certainly nota bad movie.

Completely inapproprite -
I would love to understand and hear the reasoning behind the frivalous story line.. did they miss the mark completely on purpose. Let alone the fact that they just HAD to put some kind of gun fire in this useless movie..but to adopt a mission impoossible theme or James Bond theme - with english accent actors.. I love Kane but not in a cartoon..CARTOOOOOON people...this is for children not me, not teens, not walt disny adult babies, but kids, 1 2 3 years old.. how the **** are they suppose to remotely follow this story line. This movie sucked fropm beginning to end..The first one was so sweet and simple..to the point..here the've gone overboard on every element..even the music.. If you did not buy this movie..keep on doing it.. just keep watching cars 1..believe me..it's a waste of time and money..

Never gets out of second gear.
In the modern age, people typically associate the pre-conceived qualityof a film with its director or cast, but very rarely do entire studiosdevelop a similar reputation. Pixar is the best example of this, havingchurned out mostly excellent films that have forever changed the phrase'fun for the whole family' (once loosely translatable as 'a yawn-festfor anyone over five') and created movies that are designed for kids attheir most basic level, but can genuinely be enjoyed by people of allages. And while I wouldn't consider Cars 2 right up there with Pixar'sgreatest accomplishments, it isn't a total flop either.Having just won the Piston Cup, Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) islooking forward to some down time in Radiator Springs. That is untilthe cocky Francesco Bernoulli (John Turturro) appears on television,proclaiming that he is the fastest racecar on the planet. An appeal tothe contrary by McQueen's best friend Mater (Larry the Cable Guy)sparks the first ever World Grand Prix. Intertwined within this storyis secret agen-err car, Finn McMissile (Michael Caine) who enlists thehelp of Mater to thwart the plans of the evil lemon cars, sick of beingthe laughing stock of the world. Character-wise, the most noticeable difference in Cars 2 from theoriginal is that Mater has made the jump to lead protagonist, whileMcQueen appears on occasion just to tie up the loose ends and advancethe plot. The entire secret agent story is fantastical and a far cryfrom the more intimate setting of the first film, although that isunlikely to phase the film's target market. I could have gone withoutit, and yet cutting it out completely turns Cars 2 into a forty-minuteTV special, as opposed to a feature-length presentation. So this isdefinitely a case of 'I don't know how to improve it, I just know Idon't like it.'I can understand applying the 'bigger is better' formula to such asequel, but the increased screen time enjoyed by Mater is actually adetriment, as a character that outlandish is best taken in small doses.Having said that, the film does its best to draw sympathy from theaudience in key scenes. We genuinely feel for Mater when his feelingsget hurt, but such heartfelt moments (that have become one of Pixar'sgreatest weapons) are unfortunately dealt with all too quickly, andswiftly pushed aside to make room for the next big set piece.Visual gags dominate the humour landscape of the film, which againshould come as no surprise considering whom the film is aimed at.Because the events of this movie occur all over the world, it allowsanimators to apply all sorts of racial stereotypes for a cheap laugh.McQueen's Italian rival talks in a thick, cheesy accent, is painted thesame colours as his national flag, and lists soccer as his favouritepastime. Comedy is not the film's strong suit, and generally fails todeliver any fresh material that may have otherwise made the film moreengaging for us older kids.Two minor areas in which Cars 2 falls flat are, ironically, two areasin which Pixar tends to excel. The film lacks a quality villain, onethat appears genuinely threatening and capable of instilling fear like,say, Toy Story 3's Lotso. Also, subtle in-jokes regarding the state ofpollution in the world, as well as the impending need to switch toalternative fuel feel uncharacteristically forced. Naturally, thesemoments are intended to fly right over a younger viewer's head, butthey felt like nothing more than a guilt-trip to me.Upon this film's release, many were inclined to argue that Pixar hasfinally sold out and produced a film solely for merchandising purposes.While this may be true to some extent, it's important to remember thatit is only lacklustre by Pixar's high standards, and could have beenfar more painful under a lesser studio's supervision. Sure, this sequeldoes no more than simply go through the motions for ninety minutes, butremains a bearable (albeit somewhat unfulfilling) experience.

What happened to Pixar?
Cars, the first movie, was wonderful. Cars2 is loaded with violent acts, gasoline 'alcohol' consumption, cruel behavior, bad jokes and references to inappropriate adult material. All of this and visual splender is coupled with the cheesiest sound track I have heard in years. When it was over, I was left feeling like I had just watched a excessively long commercial for all the crap they hope to sell. I sincerely hope this sequel is not representative of what we will see from Pixar in the future.
(08 May 2012)
Too complex for young kids/Lacking the morale center
From an adult who watches kid's movies, it was enjoyable. It's an animated action movie. They brought James Bond and Fast and the Furious into the Cars world. It had Pixar's high quality animation and voice acting, but I think they missed their target audience. The first Cars movie was about being loyal to your friends and those who have supported you, doing whats right, and not always thinking about just yourself. Cars 2 lacks this morale center. It's just an action film in Cars clothing. There is a subtle plot line about McQueen being embarrassed by his rustic friend and how he should accept him for who he is, and Mater learning that the world sees him as an idiot and his need to prove his self-worth, (as well as a political commentary about alternative fuels and big oil companies) but these plots are likely missed by young children (and probably many adults). If you don't care if there is a lesson to be learned, its a great film. Enjoyable for all ages. If you believe that children learn social skills from their entertainment and see their movie heroes as behavioral models, they aren't going to gain much from this movie.
