How did "Cars" receive over 5 stars?

Rating: 2/10 (29 December 2007)

Pixar has been falling a long drop since separating with Disney, and this may be one of the lowest its ever been. When I saw this movie, I wasn't expecting a Toy Story, or A Bugs life. Not after Pixar's last few movies, The Incredibles and Finding Nemo to name a few, but I was expecting it to be at least entertaining. Boy was I wrong, this movie is so bland, predictable, and one dimensional, I would've paid extra money to get my one hour back. The movies only saving grace is the animation, but even then, Pixar chose some pretty boring things to animate. Talking cars that you always see in gas commercials, and 80 percent of the movie is nothing but desert and a small town of which the scenery never changes. And the other 20 percent is spent on a race track and spending all that time just circling the race track, something anyone who has ever stopped on ESPN would've seen.
This movie deserves nothing more than a two, it was exactly like a trap hole, it looks alright to step on, but once you do, you wish you never did.
