The toys seems bigger, but are (to me) smaller...

Rating: 6/10 (14 August 2007)

I must admit that I'm not such a big, big fan of this movie. This is a good and charming movie, but I must admit that I like the first movie much better. This is one of the most overrated sequels ever, even this movie was a huge financial success worldwide.
OK, now it's sounds that I'm just complaining about this movie. I enjoyed this film and I'm still enjoying it. But this movie is a little bit more sentimental than the first film, it has more emotions and that's why I think this film is weaker. It contains serious subjects matters like being abandoned, etc. It's okay that Pixar is making a movie about serious subject matters and it makes it more emotional. But it seems darker than the first movie.
The script isn't bad, but comparing to the first film where it was more action sequences involved, the story of this movie is a little bit futile. Randy Newmans score is disturbing the story instead of supporting the story. Even we can really connect with Woody on this picture (you guys who have seen the movie know what I'm talking' about, right?), I still like him more in the first film. So the same with Buzz.
OK, enough complaining about this picture. It seems that I'm comparing this movie to the first one, which I'm doing (who is natural to do with a sequel), but it's okay to like the first movie better, isn't it? Even they're making a great sequel.
The animation is great, the secondary characters from the first film are funny and so are the new characters. And this movie has some great, enjoyable moments.
But I liked the first movie much better, I must confess that.
