Too Slow, And Childish

Rating: 2/10 (14 November 2015)

I'll be giving a popular Pixar movie a low rating. For one, I find it hard to believe that this movie is almost a decade old. You wonder where all the time has gone? I feel like 21st Century special effects haven't really changed. I remember seeing this movie in the movie theaters around the time it came out, and how popular new Pixar characters seemed at the time. But, this movie did not appeal to me when it came out. I'd see this movie a final time a few years later even as an adult. One of my adult friends who had this on Blu Ray, wanted us to watch this because of the high definition and nice special effects.
This movie has never appealed to me. I also thought of this movie like Finding Nemo, a popular high grossing movie that has great special effects and came out a few years earlier. To me, they seem like movies I'd see with my nephews on a preschool channel, as if I were watching something like J.J. The Jet Plane, Or Thomas The Tank Engine. I feel like this movie would appeal to kids, they might not understand the story but just be obsessed with the characters but I don't see how a movie like this would appeal to adults? Maybe, the special effects.
I also felt like this movie is a little slow paced. Lightning McQueen is a race car, but a lot of this movie takes place in the middle of nowhere. I was more anxious to see Lightning McQueen get to his race. It's also interesting how this is a kids movie, but there aren't any kid cars. There isn't really action either, Good Verses Evil. I heard there's action in the second one. Also, all the living things we see in the movie are vehicles, from cars, tractors, trains, and helicopters. There is not a single person or animal in the movie.
We can think back to The Lion King. That movie doesn't have any people, just animals. I feel like Lion King would appeal more, and it's a great Disney movie. It feels like we all remember the Disney movies we saw as kids and frequently make references to them. That being said, I feel like it's fine to still have a kid inside you as you grow up. Doing so will allow you to keep up with younger kids and make you feel a kid at heart. Sometimes my Dad even feels like I am still childish, specifically for liking DragonBall Z as an adult. But, seriously I saw Resurrection F earlier this summer and loved it. Almost everybody in the movie theater were young adults. We can watch videos of people going over the series and they are guys with facial hair not like 10-year old kids.
I also rented a movie a couple of years ago that remains my favorite movie, Junior High Spy. I still regularly watch scenes from that movie. It's the type of movie that entertains me, and even as an adult my eyes get glued to the screen each time I see it. The main character in that movie, Ricky Lazio is a totally awesome respectable character. His sidekick in the movie Jack is a naturally funny character. While the movie was independent and didn't have the best acting it can entertain me more than any other film.
Sometime shortly after seeing Cars, I saw Monster House. That movie appealed to me way more. It's more interesting for me to see a Special Effects movie showing 3 Middle School friends keeping a watch on their neighborhood after believing the house across the street was possessed. Also, how you could tell while watching that movie that it was supposed to take place in the '80s or possibly early '90s. That's more interesting than watching a movie where everything is a vehicle, and a car trying to get to his race. Cars also is a long movie, almost 2 hours long, but it mostly feels slow paced so if you're like me you'll find it slow and childish. I leave it with a 2/10. Instead, I'd recommend the other movies I mentioned.
