 Re: Cars 2 reviews xiayun wrote: The top critics are actually more kind of it, as both Variety and THR gave it positive reviews. The online reviewers who didn't think too much of the first one are dragging this one down big time though. To be exact, top critics are currently at 50%, with rotten reviews by such influential sources as the NY Times, Chicago Tribune, Time Magazine, and the Associated Press.

Re: Cars 2 reviews I liked the first one....this looked awful from the trailers (a plot about spies??), it will probably be the first Pixar film I do not watch.

Re: Cars 2 reviews 40% is pretty bad, Critics and people from the internet HATE it,,,,, cannot talk about the greatness of the film (if there is) 'cause I haven't seen it yet, but I hope this one is being underrated,

Re: Cars 2 reviews Back in March, did anyone expect the latest Vin Diesel flick to have twice the RT score of Pixar's latest offering?

Re: Cars 2 reviews Aah, sing your song
about all the sad imitations that got it so wrong:
It's like a later Tom and Jerry
when the two of them could talk;
like the Stones since the eighties;
like the last days of Southfork
like Pixar with Cars 2
Like Planet of the Apes on TV;
the second side of 'Til the Band Comes In;
like an own-brand box of cornflakes
he's going to let you down my friend

"Cars 2 is fun. he gave the film 3.5/4..................... higher than TS3 full review: http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbc ... 29995/1023

Re: Cars 2 reviews i.hope wrote: JURiNG wrote: thumb up for what? i.hope? for critics finally waking up to the Pixar wet dream. I think it is more because Cars 2 is just vastly inferior to the other Pixar movies. Pixar has made some great movies as shown by it winning in the last 4 Best animated movie awards.

Re: Cars 2 reviews Jesus, I can't believe Pixar fans are just as bad as comic book/Potter/Twilight fans.

Re: Cars 2 reviews Ebert makes an interesting point about the whole "it's about playing with cars during your childhood!" thing... but the film was devoid of any emotion or sentimentality towards one's childhood and the joy of playing with toy cars. It's not like at the end of the film, you pan back from the lifeless cars to see a child playing with a massive collection of toy cars, toy race tracks, etc.
Actually, that's a Pixar move there. How that eluded them is beyond me.
