Better than the first one

Rating: Null/10 (25 July 2011)

Great sequel to a great movie! Cars 2 might have been trashed by the critics and most people, but this movie does not deserve that treatment.
It is an action packed fast paced entertainer, about Mater- Lightning's best friend- going to Tokyo to see his friend race, and getting mixed up in a spy action, and how this affects Lightning's all important race. Why are there problems in the race? What does Mater do with the spies?, are the questions which will be answered if you watch the film.
The movie moves at a jet's speed from scene 1 to the last scene. It is guaranteed that there will be no scenes which will bore you. The idea of mixing up spies, cars and racing in one movie is appreciable, and I thought it has been done intelligently with logic.
The movie's biggest plus however is the extraordinary visuals and details put into each scenes, which of course is the thing Pixar is famous for. The animation has been spot on.
I agree that it does not go much into the character's feelings which people would have expected from Pixar, but I don't think Pixar meant to make this movie emotional but full of action and entertainment, and in that point of view, Pixar has succeeded in that. But there are some emotional scenes about friendship too (but only few for those seeking emotion in Pixar film)
There are however some issues as the spy theme seems to be a bit complicated to younger audience, which is where the bad reviews come from.
But overall it is a great movie for the summer, but by far better than Cars 1!!! Go for it....
