not getting the credit it deserves

Rating: 9/10 (29 June 2011)

I've read a few of the reviews for this movie on here and felt I needed to add my own piece. I couldn't disagree more with most of the reviews. I thought this movie was wonderful. It was infinitely better than the first cars which while was a cute movie and endearing, but a bit boring, and yes predictable, but its a children's movie, of course its going to be predictable. Disney and Pixar aren't out to trick the audience and keep them guessing, they are out to entertain you and leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling at the end, this is Disney and Pixar not Paramount or Lion's gate, they make family films people. That being said, I thought this movie was very entertaining. It had much more action in it and a great story. Personally I'm glad they focused more on Mater, I think his character is far more enjoyable than the dry and boring lightning mcqueen voiced by Owen Wilson who if you've seen one of his movies you've seen the character he acts out in every single movie he's been in. The animation in this movie was astounding. I graduated from college with a degree in video game art and design, I know first hand what goes into these kinds of pictures and Pixar has once again proved why they are the best 3D animation company out there. Their work is flawless. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to anyone. I find it sad that people are reviewing this movie like its a educated thriller, take it for what it is - an entertaining family film. I brought my son and I don't know who enjoyed it more.
