Get ready for a ride of a lifetime

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2007)

My summary sounds like a cliché, huh? He he, I'm kidding. I saw "Cars" without any expectations and my though is that this is one of the greatest CGI animated movies ever made. I liked the previous Pixar films, but they were all too like. After "Nemo" they tried to break boundaries and experiment little. In my opinion the Pixar films are predictable and overrated (don't get me wrong), but that's another story for now.
"Cars" is a fresh and very funny movie. Lightning McQueen is not the most enjoyable main character of all time, but you learn to like him during the movie. This movie has some very great characters; Mater, Sally, Flo, Guido, Luigi, etc. The only characters I didn't liked were Doc Hudson and the green race car who is competing to McQueen.
The animation is absolutely gorgeous. I've never liked Randy Newmans contribution, but this time the score is really working. The songs are also enjoyable and the script is well written - and sometimes little bit unpredictable.
The reason that I'm giving "Cars" a 9 out of 10 is because of one little thing; the movie is too long! It could have been cut down a little bit.
The critics where rougher on "Cars" comparing to the other Pixar movies, which I think it's undeserved. Well, we're not complaining about a too long screen time and bad reviews, are we? Cars is a great ride!
