Sequels need to be different, and good

Rating: 9/10 (27 June 2011)

A fun filled ride both kids and adults can enjoy. They certainly couldn't copy the first film with location and story, so they had to go all out with the story in a new direction to keep things fresh and interesting. Following the ever popular spy-thriller genre, for me, they succeeded - I love spy thrillers. What's next? Cars from Space? (haha - Carboys and Aliens).
I saw this film in 3D, and Pixar never ceases to amaze me. The locations are beautiful, the story is good, and the humour is still there. Pixar sticks adult jokes or references in there that most kids won't understand (like Mater in the washroom, or certain bond references), and locations I have been to recently (namely Paris) were a welcome sight for me to visit in the film.
The only thing I can say for sure is that I don't think it will leave an impact as the first film did for me: Cars 1 was really my first introduction to Pixar, when I fell in love with their work. That film blew me away, and I will never forget my experience watching it. The only thing new in this film for me was the scenery and the story. But that doesn't mean I enjoyed it any less.
