Disappointing, truly disappointing

Rating: 3/10 (13 November 2011)

I have been an avid fan of Pixar since I was 7 when I saw Finding Nemo(my absolute favorite movie ever) and I have loved them all. But then Cars 2 came out.
It had an interesting and exciting opening, with cool moments and awesome gadgets, but after that the movie went downhill quickly. Imagine the plot of every spy movie ever made, every bad pun and shameless advertisement gag, roll it all up into an impressively animated movie and suck out all the heart that is typically found in a Pixar movie, but a bright red "cliche" stamp on it, and you have Cars 2. It was by far the WORST Pixar movie, and it disgraced the first Cars movie, which had an incredible story along with impressive animation. Mater completely ruined the movie. He was annoying, utterly clueless, and oblivious to insult. Finn McMissle was the best character of the movie, despite his utter incompetence to figure out that Mater is not a spy. And Lightning McQueen was a minor character at best, and at the end he spat out the most stereotypical, unoriginal lines in Pixar history. This movie was filled with "Ugh", "Of course", and "You've GOT to be kidding me" moments. And on top of that, it was quite a violent movie, definitely not worthy of a G-rating. There were so many things wrong with it.
John Lasseter, you have lost your touch.
