Cars 2 (2011)

"Ka chow"

Well that gets annoying...

Story, Lightning McQueen sets off in his next adventure in the first ever World Grand Prix to compete with his rival Francesco Bernoullo, While Mater sets of on his own action adventure becoming a secret spy and meeting some double O's along his mission to save the Grand Prix. And that's that, been a Pixar you would believe the film to have some for deep emotional and inspirational feel to film which you would think they would understand after the wide success of Up and their other great success Toy Story but sadly to say they do not. This really lets the film down straight away and this doesn't help to find the funny side at all to the film, I know the film is meant for kids but Pixar have always made films which can relate to adults as well and this is usually the key idea of kids films today to grasp a more wider audience but it sadly doesn't which is such a shame to some respect.

Visuals are highly impressive as always coming from Pixar but I feel In this film they have really tried to mask this poor film with such effects and the actor Michael Cain who voice acts secret agent Finn McMissile, thinking that people will just see the film as cool just because of him. However great Michael Cain may obviously be a really hate it when people obviously cast actors for such a purpose. I don't really feel Owen Wilson was such a great idea for the film just in general, it was obviously a great way to show his narcasist values in the first film for him at least develop his character into a more nicer and loveable McQueen but as his character did not learn anything at all from the first film at all. Owen Wilson does a good job voice acting McQueen but the voice at all doesn't seem to be fitting with character as well but this could just be me.

Action gets a bit obvious after a little while after one barrel exploding after another, and another, and well another which does not do the film any real justice as been a new car film except the spy factor of the story. Been that the whole spy idea as well is such an obvious way to move on from a car film and I don't think this was the right idea moving onto this for a  sequel, I am no film writer but I would of loved to see some form of emotional conflict with McQueen rather focusing on Mater, perhaps a long lost selfish father or two? and to involve more lines to come from the main characters which were in the first film as these are the main ones viewers will have grown to love.

Overall a very annoying a predictable film with nothing fresh to warm the heart but only the eyes, at least they visited Japan...
