...I don't know what to say....

Rating: 7/10 (22 September 2016)

Alright, alright, 7/10 might seem like too much for this movie. And it might be, honestly, but I have a few reasons why I would consider this a 7/10. Pros and Cons
Pro: The villain's plan is original, and is pretty genius. Basically, the main bad guy makes an alternative fuel that, while it works perfectly, is made highly dangerous by some kind of radiation or something, which makes the cars EXPLODE. Since the world is watching the race, they will stop trying to innovate with Alternative Fuels, and go back to regular gasoline, which the bad guys own most of.
Con: Mater. Just. Mater Now, I would love to say "oh, he's kind of funny" but he isn't. 90% of this movie (aside from the finale) is just him acting like an idiot in front of people. I do love the scene at the beginning of the first race, where Mater is instructing Mcqueen during the race. It shows some real friendship between them.
Pro: The spy stuff, when it's allowed to breathe, is actually extremely awesome and exciting.
Now, I've read a few things in the comments here, saying that this movie is "too violent" for kids (Forgetting the other, honestly, messed up things in the other 11 Pixar movies before this one). Now, the scene where they blow up the guy on screen, maybe, but the other stuff is so cool. Sure, Michael Cane is clearly just phoning it in by this point, but he does fine as typical spy guy. The opening scene of the movie was perfect, and the airport chase and the finale chase were also awesome
Con: The other residents of the town were wasted entirely
Let's be honest, though. Cars has never been the series for deep, character studies (minus Doc Hudson), but I wish that these people were able to do more than just basically make brief cameos.
In the end, I feel that Cars 2 is worth the watch, of course. But don't expect it to be in the Toy Story 3 or Inside Out range of film.
