    Butchered Sequel!

    I was kinda excited to see that they were promoting Cars 2. The first one was very good, so I thought Disney would not disappoint me with it's sequel. I was so flabbergasted... First off, there is not enough Lightning McQueen screen time. No, the main character of this movie is Mater. Yes, the brown towing truck. I have no idea why did made a choice like that, but it was awful! The story line was very tedious, and not as enjoyable as the Cars 1. It took me freakin' willpower to sit down and finish the movie, when all I could think about was leave the theater. Even my brother said it was awful. Sorry, Pixar. You can make bugs cute, brings toys to life, and even make a house fly, but you just can't make cars have that "vroom" that it needs to make it worthwhile. Sorry, but don't even waste your money on this movie. Save yourself!!!

    Very Disappointed

    by zvmom

    We loved the first Cars movie. It was everything a family movie should be. We were really looking forward to Cars 2 because all the hype was that it is better than the first. WRONG. It is too political, too violent, and the plot is too complicated for the average age of the viewer. For a studio that put out great family movies like Toy Story, A Bugs Life, Finding Nemo, Wall-E - Cars 2 is a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT.

    LOVED CARS 2!

    by

    My husband & I brought our 2 1/2 Yr old Toddler to see Cars 2 yesterday. This was our first official visit to the theater with our toddler to watch a movie together as a family. We all had such a great time! The movie was really great & our toddler actually sat still for nearly the entire time so it held his interest. I would highly recommend this movie for children & adults of all ages.

    Animation/graphics are excellent.Story leaves much to be desired.

    Animation/graphics are excellent.Story leaves much to be desired. Movie is all over the place. Wait for this one to hit movie channels at home or via subscription service. Our kids, 4 and 2, didn't care one way or the other...didn't leave talking about the movie like they did after Thor or Kung Fu Panda 2. From their reaction, I conclude Cars 2 was less than memorable for them.

    A bit disappointed.

    We took our four year old son to go see this movie. He loved the first one, as did we. However, we as parents felt this one was a little to aggressive and violent for such young eyes. It was fun at certain scenes, but for the most part it was a hard plot to comprehend at such a young age. Our little man was a little disappointed.

    why all the complaints

    we rented this movie last night as a family movie and we realy enjoyed it I dont get why all the complaints we all thought it was a wonderful movie and realy enjoyed it so I realy dont get what the problem is unless it is the harsh violence which should have been thought about before giving this movie a g rating instead of a more desereving pg one but other than that it was a wonderful movie that all 3 of my siblings 2 boys and one 1 girl realy enjoyed heck even I enjoyed it so I say rent it give it a chance who knows you may love it as mutch as we did and a movie like that is hard to find now days

    My son loved it

    The disney franchise for Cars is a gold mine. Any grade school or toddler boy would fall all over it like a fat kid to cake. I stayed awake for the whole movie but wasn't exceptionally impressed with it. My 4 year old son loved it though.

    Disappointing, even more so than the first

    I like the James Bond series, but I was sad to see this sequel transform a Pixar story into a James Bond flick for kids. I was amused, but I doubt I'll bother seeing this one again.

    Surprisingly Violent

    Shooting, killing, cars dying, seeing dead cars...I was very surprised to see the turn this movie took. Considering how kind and kid-friendly Cars was, I was blown away that someone decided to make the sequel all about killing. My 6yo son'a main comment was that he hated how there were so many guns. And this is from someone who is usually fine with a little gun stuff in age-appropriate movies. My 4yo was scared.

    Awful for a G movie - what were they thinking?!?!?

    Sat down to watch this with my 5 year old and was disgusted with it. What an awful thing to promote as a G movie. Horrible amount of gun violence. What are the movie people thinking?

    Doesn't disappoint!

    Pixar has done it again. Lots of fun details for the careful eye. I wanted a little more spunk from mcqueen but it was great overall. Definitely see it!

    Under 8? Go for it!

    Only a year late, I review this film. My theory is that the higher-ups at Pixar said, "Hey, 'Cars' made us money and everyone loved 'The Incredibles'. How about we combine the two and remove all humor?" If you're a young lad under 8, knock yourself out. If not, rewatch the original and enjoy the road-trip nostalgia.
