Not Pixar's best film, but still certainly enjoyable!

Rating: 6/10 (29 August 2011)

"Cars 2" is the sequel to "Cars" (well, duh). The only thing is, the two movies are hardly related to each other. In "Cars", Lightning McQueen, a spoiled hotshot race car, discovers the meaning of true family and friendship. In "Cars 2", the story focuses on Mater (McQueen's best friend) and how he somehow gets caught up in a spy mission.
I was prepared for disappointment, considering all the reviews that I heard. But I was really surprised! "Cars 2" was very enjoyable! The humor was funny and the action was great! I did like the plot. It sort of reminded me of a real James Bond film. Who knew talking cars and an action/mystery genre could work?
Most of the reasons that people didn't like this film was because this sequel wasn't related to "Cars" at all. But if the first film wasn't considered, then people would find that "Cars 2" is actually be a pretty good movie! But to be honest, I think that I would have liked this movie more if it was a new original Pixar movie, not just a sequel to "Cars".
While watching this, just forget about "Cars" for a while and enjoy the humor and action that "Cars 2" gives. Pixar still did good!
