Review of Cars 2 (2011) by Rhiannon B — 25 Oct 2017
I can see why why some people don't like this movie much. Mater is not a good lead character and the spy movie elements, though amusing somewhat, were not expected or wanted in a racing movie.
The whole race around the world thing was very interesting however and could have been something really cool. Looking at some of the unused material for the movie, Pixar had ideas to add in rally, endurance and forest racing. This combined with the races we saw would have been better than the spy stuff by far.
The movie is beautiful to look at though and I loved the international racers. Francesco was a hoot! And Carla was really cool looking. It's a pity there wasn't a bigger mix of genders in the racers but that's Pixar's choice, and so their fault for that issue.
For all it's faults though, the movie is amusing and it does make kids laugh. My nephew and nieces found it very amusing and isn't that what this movie is meant to do? Make kids happy. It's just a pity the movie focuses on Mater and not Lightning or racing. Still good though and not disappointing like the Cars 3.
