Much better than I expected

Rating: 9/10 (4 November 2006)

I started watching "Cars" without very high expectations and I was pleasantly surprised by it. The animations and backgrounds in this film were spectacular, the movie was full of background humor and in-jokes that helped keep your attention, the script was cleverly written and the cast did a fantastic job. It was fun to watch the credits at the end and see how many famous names I'd failed to recognize, in addition to those I had figured out. So what if the storyline was standard and the ending predictable? There are only so many story lines you can get in a G-rated movie intended to be watched by kids and to leave everyone feeling good. "Cars" did an excellent job of telling one of those stories.
