Cars 2

Review

I was told if I am to do a review right now that it has to be %100 spoiler free, so I will succumb to that request simply because I cannot wait to express my opinion. Cars 2 is officially a good film! I was never actually worried about it because it’s a Pixar film and Pixar has literally never let me down on the filmmaking front, but outside of Toy Story, Pixar doesn’t deal in sequels, which lead me to believe this was simply a forced money grab from the Disney side of things.

And while after viewing Cars 2 I have no doubt that it is still the truth of things, it is extremely fortunate that the warlocks at Pixar were behind this sequel because truth be told, in the end, it works. What I will say is that anyone that didn’t like the first Cars film “which I admit, is my least favorite of the Pixar collection, and still better than %88 of the rest of the crap out there today”, you probably will feel the same thing for this one. However, if you found Mater to be hilarious the first time around, you will be getting a lot more of him as he steps into his own spotlight, “as a spy nonetheless”, and if you only enjoyed the adrenaline charged racing sequences of the original, you are again in luck, as this one not only has racing far greater than the first outing, but throws in some seriously cool action set pieces. We are talking everything from missiles to car chases to explosions.

The humor in the film is generally spot on if you are old enough to get it, and in true Pixar form enough of the film is aimed at the kids while tons of it only rings to adults as well. An extremely thorough balancing act. At the end of the day, this is an excellent film and it comes recommended. And as an added bonus, you WILL be seeing the awesome trailer for Pixar’s next major motion film, BRAVE, which seriously, is going to blow you all away.

We are going to give Pixar’s Cars 2, a 4 out of 5 stars.

About the Author

maikerukun

Very little is actually known about either the origin of Maikerukun, or his true age, but there are myths and stories that have been passed down. According to legend, he was born somewhere around the turn of the 18th century, 1902 has been a widespread guess, as government photographs place him on the front lines in both World Wars I and II, the battle of Bunker Hill, Vietnam, and most recently, Dessert Storm. However, all accounts have him dressed in assassin garments dating back to the 1400's, thus bringing most to believe he was born more closely to the turn of the 13th century. It is widely accepted that he may possibly be an immortal, and his age can be anywhere between 109 years old to 709 years old. These ideas are strongly supported by his ridiculously large skill set and his surgeon like precision with everything from woodsmanship to computer technology. He is the definitive sage, so to speak, and he's ours and ours alone :) If you would like to contact him, we strongly urge you not to, as again, rumor is he eats souls to survive. Of course, this is your choice...you've been warned.
