Spy Cars - Action with little heart

Rating: 6/10 (8 July 2011)

Cars 2 is the sequel to Pixar's Academy Award nominated film, Cars. This film is centred around Mater, not McQueen but Mater who is a rusty tow truck with a lovable personality. The movie's basic plot is Mater being mistaken for a spy while accompanying McQueen throughout the World Grand Prix races.
First off, I think the movie lacked the ability for the audience to be emotionally attached to the characters, therefore there was not any great character development. Everything we knew and loved about the characters was not furthered but rather left at how it was in the first film. Luckily, they have built a strong foundation.
The film's plot was good but could have been better. Spy Cars could have been a good name for the movie. Its creative however a bit silly at times. It wasn't very predictable but the ending is something you would have thought of possibly happening, which ruins movies for me.
However the animation is amazing and it is a very enjoyable film for what it is - an animated spy movie involving cars. All in all I enjoyed the movie but I expected more from it, especially in the emotional aspects.
Good job Pixar but your standards are slowly dropping.
6/10
