I loved it, and so did my nephew. This is a kids movie and much much much better than most sequels.
Great movie I enjoyed it
loved this one!
I thought it was good. Not exactly the Pixar quality we all became used to, but still pretty good.
First off, a little personal history: All the way back in 1995, I received a computer game as a Christmas gift called _Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon_. My mom didn't even know what it was; I still can hear her saying, "What is that? A golf game?" Despite its title, it had nothing to do with any sport; Putt-Putt was actually an anthropomorphic purple convertible that actually gets launched on a rocket to the Moon while visiting a fireworks factory. As the game progresses, that titular vehicle does everything from save an alien from moon goo to play the arcade game _Bear Stormin'_ to meet up with an abandoned NASA Rover...and, eventually makes it back to terra firma. I quickly got addicted to that game, and soon got my hands on not only other _Putt-Putt_ titles, but also others from the same developer, Humongous Entertainment. One of their games, _Let's Explore the Airport_, I awaited owning for well over a year, playing the demo to death the whole time. Words can't describe my excitement when my mom randomly decided to purchase it for me as an end-of-school reward.
Fast forward to 2004: I hadn't touched any Humongous Entertainment games in years, but I did fondly remember playing them on my first Mac, which was long gone. That November, I went with some friends from church to see _The Incredibles_ in theaters, where the trailer for the first _Cars_ flick was unveiled. As you can imagine, those _Putt-Putt_ games were the first thing I thought of; it was almost like a 3-D version of a childhood favorite. I actually didn't see _Cars_ until well after it came out on DVD, but I enjoyed it, particularly the vehicle-themed spoofs of other Pixar films during the end credits.
That was years ago; the _Cars_ franchise is now a trilogy, and I'm just now seeing the second outing. What did I think? Honestly, I had a blast with it; the action and intensity was on point, and Mater's triumph over dire circumstances was very inspiring. I loved the voice actors, especially the female British spy, Holley Shiftwell. As usual, the animation was excellent. Despite what some people may think, I think this is another winner from the studio that pioneered computer animation; it was vastly superior to the last one I sat through: the dreadful, nerve-grating _Incredibles 2_. If you like family-friendly action/adventure flicks, this one is for you.
Quite entertaining, the scenery/artwork for the car race in Italy was awesome.
My kid loves Finn McMissle
Saw it 3d and wasn't impressed however on normal tv fantastic.
In some ways, it's better than the first one.
This story is so far out of reach for reality that it somehow fits perfectly within the universe of cars. Quite a bit nostalgia speaking but this is probably my fav cars movie and the memories of it always feel fresh.
