Can you please elaborate your argumentative posts more beyond just a simple rebuttal? 
No, just let it be. Don’t give the situation any more attention than what it deserves, none.
Okay, let’s leave it at that. We need WAY more positivity in this topic.
What we need, is positive attitudes like you said, and we need those hundreds of people who have seen Cars 2 to start reviewing. There’s so many people, so I don’t understand why there’s such a small number of reviews. That’s what’s making this whole situation very odd, don’t you think?
I mean, I don’t know the number of people that have seen it, but I’m sure it’s over one hundred. Also, Cars 2 comes out tomorrow in a few places. Same goes for the day after and then it’s North America. 
It will be interesting to see how this movie do. I know the merchandise has grown in popularity over the years, but I wonder if the public losing interest in 3D (an most showings will probably be in 3D) and most movies summer movies not meeting expectations this year will effect this movie. Last year, Toy Story 3 had kids who love the last two movies, parents, adults and young adults who grew up loving those movies and 3D movies being big last summer help it make the money it did at the box office.
Ratatouille is the movie that made me start to fall in love with Pixar. And after anicipating a summer release from Pixar four years in a row, it feels kind of sad going into the summer and not anticipating a Pixar film. I was excited for a bit after watching my first espionage film a couple of months back, but it’s worn off. Especially now that I’m seeing more and more clips. But I will be at the theater opening day. But at this point, I’m mainly excited about the score, the short before the film and the Brave teaser.
Somebody mentioned that not every Pixar film has to have people crying when they leave the theater. But they’ve made films over and over and over again that have done just that. It’s made them renowned all over the world. Especially after Ratatouille, Walle, Up and Toy Story 3. I do believe that when it comes to some people, there is an automatic bias towards this film because they don’t like the first film, but I also believe that there are some people who honestly think that it isn’t that great of a film. I think Pixar has done it to themselves by making such strong emotionally resonating films in the past. They kept the kids quite and entertained, and they lelt the adults with something to think and talk about on the way home, or when they go to work again. I’ve heard adults have long and dead coversations about Pixars last four films. I heard adults who aren’t really into animated movies praise Ratatouille, and some have seen it more than once.
Usually RT scores go up, at least from what I’ve noticed.
It can’t fail, I just saw another positive review. I don’t understand why they’re not putting them. up.
Yeah, they’ve been slow about updating… 
Hopefully the RT score will improve. I remember Watchmen starting off pretty nice, but then tapering into the 60s. Still a fresh score, but a close call. Cars 2 has been all across the board, starting around the 70s, going to the high 80s, and then dipping back to the 70s, then 60s, then high 50s. Who knows where it will stick.
Also, I do think some of these people honestly didn’t like the film. Some are going to be biased against Pixar, of course, but there are others who may not have liked the concept (talking cars) in the first place. Once any emotional tinge is removed, some critics not feel it holds up. Others…simply might not like it. I can see and respect that.
Still, other critics are going to be less fair, either because it’s a) a Pixar film, b) a Cars film, c) a sequel, or d) it has no emotional link and therefore it equals BAD. Some critics definitely are basing their reviews on the latter. As theoutsider noted, this may have to do with each Pixar film prior having a deep, personal touch that could be appreciated, even if it partially flew over the young ones’ heads. (I realize that they worked hard on this, but it seems the focus was on plot points and animation not directly dealing with sobbing and pulling at heartstrings.) While I understand that the shift is a bit jarring, basing opinion on comparisons to films before isn’t particularly fair in this case, if only because it was intentional and not meant to mirror the tendencies of past releases.
x3haijessiex3 - If it’s an RT accepted reviewer (is it?), then it’s probably just processing time. And perhaps the server is lagging.
What’s giving me hope is that, despite the nasty critic reviews, people I actually personally know and trust have all so far liked the movie. I’d rather listen to them than a bunch of guys in suits I don’t know.
CRITICS are giving Cars 2 bad reviews for 3 REASONS:
- The First Film
- Mater
- And the most important: because the film doesn’t make them cry, that’s stupid, imo, not all pixar films might end with the same treatment,
that SUCKS and it’s so UNFAIR
In PIXAR we TRUST
I have to laugh at those who take every single bit of the words that fly out of John Lasseter’s mouth literally. You know, as if it’s not a children’s movie.
However, I don’t think exploding like you just did makes you any better than those exploding on the movie. I edited my post quite a few times before posting it. It was a lot longer before, there was a lot of CAPS, and really immature words. So, I kept it simple and showed my anger in a stern way. My post basically looked like yours, but a lot larger because my fingers wouldn’t stop. Rather than showing it in an explosive way, showing it in a more stern way has a much larger effect.
You kind of lose credibility when you say “sucks” and “stupid”. I’m on your side, don’t get me wrong, but you could have said that in a more mature manner. Not age wise, I mean writing style wise.
I’ve noticed that when you’re angry, you have no problem showing it. I can also see that you’ve done this in a number of posts and on other sites. By other sites, I mean I saw what you wrote on Rotten Tomatoes. That was just a bit cold, even if his opinion against Cars 2 was harsh.
However, since I know how you feel, let me let you in on a nice tip I’ve learned from experience:
Keep in mind this is totally off-topic and only meant for bryanbmp. Nothing below this is about a Cars 2 review.
Whenever I see something that makes me angry or pushes my buttons, I reply in a very nasty way if I don’t think about it. So, what I do is I write all of my anger and fury out in a post (without sending it) and then I look at it again. I look to see what I wrote so that I can see my anger on my computer screen rather than inside of me. That way, I show myself that it’s not longer inside of me, so it can no longer bother me. Then, what I do is I edit the post. I look to see other words I could have used in place of a word. I don’t usually look for the biggest, I look for once that just seems more appropriate in an argument.
Let’s take the word stupid. Depending on the context you can replace the word stupid with incongruous, illogical, irrational, preposterous, ridiculous, and unreasonable. Those are only some of the words you can use. I found these using a thesaurus, not with my mind. In fact, the more you use a thesaurus, the more intelligent your writing will look, and you learn some new words.
Now about ellipses…when you want to use an ellipse you’re supposed to use a series of periods, not commas.
So now that all of that is out of the way, let’s see how we can make this piece of writing a bit more mature.
From what I’ve been noticing, the said critics have been giving Cars 2 a bad review for what I believe are the following reasons:
- They seem to be basing it off of the first Cars.
- They seem to be basing it off of a single character.
- They dislike the fact that it doesn’t follow what Pixar made to be their own pattern: Making the movie have a very touching message along with some tear drops.
I think that their reasoning is irrational because I feel that not all Pixar movies should be reviewed the same way. I feel they should be reviewed in a way that’s unique to each one of them.
It’s completely unjust to do otherwise.
We should all trust Pixar because they haven’t let us down before.
See that? I’m only saying this because when ever I see you write a whole bunch of angry words, it pains me to see the replies you get. You get those replies simply because you’re not stating your opinions in the way you should be presenting them, thus making other people reply to you in a nasty way. Basically, it’s all about presentation. 
Don’t let another person’s opinion get to you.
Since I can’t live by that sentence, I live by this one:
Don’t show another person’s opinion gets to you.
I was surprised that its in the 50’s on RT. But I’ll save my final judgement for the film until I see it for myself.
I have a feeling that some of these critics on RT are biased torwards Cars 2 since they probably didn’t care to much about the first one. I just hope they didn’t see Cars 2 expecting another Toy Story 3.
If you read all of them, they’re all clearly bias. It’s so obnoxious. Yes, I know I’m bias, but that’s why my job isn’t a critic.
They’re supposed to judge the movie itself, not compare it to the first and judge it.
Well…I can understand them comparing the two; they are in the same series, and its nature to associate one thing with another and compare. But I do wish they wouldn’t bash on it just for being different then the original.
I wonder how this is effecting ol’ Hawaiian Shirt.
Well yeah, I can understand that, so never mind. They still shouldn’t be doing it as much as they’re doing it.
I think he’s probably heart broken. Thinking about him heart broken is making me feel even more heart broken.
Well I shouldn’t of used the word biased. What I meant to say is that critics on RT are giving Cars 2 bad reviews because of the whole “Cars is Pixar’s weakest film” theory and the fact they might think Cars 2 is just a cash grab, which to me isn’t. Obviously its not going to get a 100% fresh on RT, but i’ll be at least happy if its in the 60-80 fresh range. If Cars 2 is a failure, I wonder how Lasseter is going to feel about this.
Well, Cars is his baby. The inspiration for it came from a very important experience with his family. I can imagine its difficult when something like that is pegged as your company’s weakest effort.
Now, I’m a little biased towards Disney myself, but I wonder if Disney actually pressured them to do a sequel. I can certainly imagine they did, since Cars is worth so much in toys, but its not like Pixar is incapable of making an amazing sequel.
Something fishy seems to be going on. I mean, apparently families all loved it. It seems that it’s the critics who aren’t pleased.
