Good, but Disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (24 June 2011)

In the past two years, Pixar has had movies that were nominated for best picture awards. This year, they probably won't. Cars 2 is completely different than any other Pixar film, even Cars. It is not here to tell a story. It is here to just have a fun time at the theater. The first half of the movie is the best part, giving you the action and comedy expected from the trailers. After the first half, it seems to slow down and drag. Without a deep story, this seems like it was just made to keep up with the length of other Pixar films. The story contains mainly Mater, which isn't too much of a problem, but it does seem to get old after a little while. The racing is barely there, so it is like John Lasseter said, a spy movie with cars. As a Pixar fan, it disappointed. Even though Cars is my least favorite Pixar film, it was still good. This is at the same level, but nothing like Cars. There is almost no lesson learned from this. This a movie to enjoy, not a masterpiece like the rest of Pixar's films.
