My 7 year old got bored

Rating: 4/10 (28 January 2012)

In the family we're all big Pixar fans. We loved all their movies, know all their shorts, even use lines from Finding Nemo. My son was a big Cars fan.
We sat through Cars 2 but none of the Pixar feel was there. The visuals are spectacular and detailed, but the spy story itself is too convoluted and ultimately uninteresting and the humor is crude. I think we laughed twice during the whole movie. By the end my son was "yeah, whatever". Later that day we watched Rio and we enjoyed it much more.
Cars 2 is not only inferior to other Pixar movies, it's inferior to other new animated features. Cars was never the strongest Pixar piece but it had enough sweet childish fun to be enjoyable. Cars 2 looks like a different company with no clue tried to copy the concept.
