Cars 2 is as visually appealing as any other Pixar production, but all that dazzle can't disguise the rusty storytelling under the hood. Read critic reviews

The trouble with stuffing too much into a film quickly becomes evident in Cars 2, as the plotlines tumble and collide with each other creating, mostly, cacophony.

Don't tell the kids, but Santa Claus isn't real and Pixar is fallible.

It is all quite jolly and fast-paced, a feast for the eyes, but there's not much for the mind or the heart.

The invention here is often still dazzling, the race sequences are invigorating and spirited voice work atones for the inexpressiveness of the cars themselves. Even so, this isn't Pixar at top gear.

Jun 19, 2016While it may be Pixar's weakest film to date, Cars 2 is still a satisfying diversion for two hours - even if the story and characters force you to turn your brain off.Matthew M Super Reviewer

Dec 16, 2015This movie lacked what other Pixar movies didn't lack. The first Cars was okay, but did we need a sequel?EpicLadySponge t Super Reviewer

Nov 18, 2013Jesus Christ, it reminds me of <i>Fay Grim</i> (2006)...... What a bizarre turn of bizarre events that came straight out from Bizarro world. I saw <i>Cars 2</i> <b>for the first time</b> exactly one week after watching Hal Hartley's sequel to <i>Henry Fool</i>, called <i>Fay Grim</i>. And it suffers from exactly the same f***ing syndrome: an illusion of international espionage parody. Wha.... Whhh What's the use? What's the logic behind such decision? In what book is it stated that making a film with thought-provoking reflections, either metaphysical, earthly or heartwarming, and continuing it with a "comedic" international espionage twist is supposed to contribute ANYTHING to the story? I would only justify such attempt with independent or renowned filmmakers, <b>as was the case of Hal Hartley</b>, but we are talking about Pixar here, a company focused at making trascendental 3D-animated films aimed at all types of audiences. This had no nostalgic quality, no logic in its continuity, no comprehensible character connections. No, it's just a parody. A bad one. I blame Pixar greatly because it hasn't been listening to the suggestions (let's not call them "demands") of fans: if there must be a sequel, it must be <i>The Incredibles 2</i>, not Cars 2, not Finding Dory, not Monsters University, no Toy Story 3 (an overrated sentimental mess). They are getting it all wrong. 90% of the times, sequels are signs of imminent scarcity in creativity. Pixar falls into that 90% of cases. How shameful. 54/100Edgar C Super Reviewer
