Why is the 'baddy' German?

Rating: Null/10 (7 August 2011)

There is a lot that could be said about this film, but the 1 thing that particularly bugged me is that the 'baddie' is German. Not just that he is German, but in the story plot about fuel that he is. I want to get this straight, I am English and have neutral feelings about Germans, I also watched this film with dutch dubbed voices. It just really grated on me that the hero is American and the baddie German - as it almost always is in an American production.
As you know, the story is about Germans trying to slander the bio fuel company in order to get everyone to buy petrol (gas). - In short.
In reality, Germans are friendly, welcoming, polite and compared to the Americans, very eco friendly. When it comes to politics, the Germans never made up a war in order to drain a country of petrol for profit and before people start to drag up the world wars - please do your research on it and you will find the German people suffered as much as any. German doesn't equal Nazi.
But once again, stereotypical views from uneducated people has to another film produced where the Germans are bad and American the perfect hero ( example - die hard ).
This is a really false and bad view of Germans to be showing to children and for this reason, I really hated this film and had I known it previous, I wouldn't have gone along to support it nor take a child with me.
In terms of graphics it as pretty as ever, but in 2011 that doesn't impress so much any more. I do enjoy spotting the car cliché objects also, for about 5 minutes. Cars 2 won't be one I will be adding to my DVD collection, put it that way.
Still waiting on Monsters inc 2 ( don't ruin that please!! )
