    Butchered Sequel!

    by pictouch

    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 jacqueline0121

    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.
