Deflated!

Rating: 1/10 (21 August 2012)

After the superb effort that was The Incredibles (arguably my favourite Pixar movie to date) I was extremely hyped for the next entry; regardless of how preposterous and silly it sounded because this is Pixar! They don't make mistakes! Or so I thought - what I thought to be a ridiculous idea turned out to be correct - talking cars?! They really dropped the ball with Cars. The whole talking cars thing may have worked decades ago with Herbie the Lovebug but it doesn't work for the 21st century; I couldn't help thinking that I was just watching one long toy commercial. I'm usually a big fan of Owen Wilson - he's usually about the best thing in a movie in my opinion - but not even he can save this mess. Imagine actually falling asleep in a Pixar movie! That's how bad it was; I'll definitely be skipping Cars 2.
