Why does everyone hate this movie?

Pixar's Feature Films Cars

They’re so adorable! Did anyone see the new ones?

#222

I’m still waiting on Moon Mater and Mater PI- both of which I am extremely looking forward too.

Also, did anyone else get the sense that the trailer for Cars 2 seemed more like the beginning of a Cars Toons?

“Lightning: Wow! Finn Mc Missile was awesome in 007 BMW!”
“Mater: You know I used to be a secret agent!”

#223

I saw one on Monday, but I don’t remember what it was called. :confused:

#224

I got the DVD when it came out so I saw them both. So funny! 8D I have a feeling they’re hiding something pretty big and aren’t going to say anything about it until a little later. Something good. :slight_smile:

#225

I hope so. Make all the haters eat their putrid words. :smiling_imp:

#226

I’m actually really happy that Pixar’s barely said anything about Cars 2. :stuck_out_tongue:

#227

I’m sure that Cars 2 will appeal to the ones that liked Cars.

#228

Same! I think it’ll be better that way, and I don’t want to know ANYTHING besides what they show on the previews. I hate spoilers

#229

Same here. :slight_smile: I can’t stand spoilers.

I suppose people didn’t connect with Cars as much as the other Pixar movies because it wasn’t universal enough (it’s a paean to old-style Americana, but not everybody understands the NASCAR or Route 66 culture) and it didn’t have human characters unlike the other films (it’s an alternate universe, unlike the other films in which the human world exists to an extent).

Personally I don’t have a problem with either of these factors. I come from a small-town and have watched it being developed and changed over time, sometimes at the expense of tradition and heritage, so I connected with the film’s themes. And I love cars, I watch car movies and TV shows like Top Gear all the time, so this is like a dream come true for me. The characters in Cars displayed human traits and emotions like jealousy, greed, and love, so I didn’t find it hard to emphatise with them unlike some of the non-fans.

I think Cars may not be the most intellectual, or most emotionally-wrought film from Pixar (that would have to go to Ratatouille and Wall-E for the former, and Up and Toy Story 3 for the latter), but it is certainly one of the most heartfelt and personal ones, especially with regards to John Lasseter. Hopefully he can bring that same brand of warmth and nostalgic charm to the sequel.

#232

It’s not Pixar’s best, but I don’t think it’s a BAD movie

#233

Same here. I don’t want to feel like I’ve seen the movie before its release, like with TS3.

#234

Yeah, it felt so annoying knowing about chuckles all the time, or about lotso s motivations, or about the incinerator scene, or about bad buzz, OH WAIT…

Back on topic im not looking forward to cars 2, but hey I wasnt looking forward to up either, im sure cars 2 will be equal, if not better that cars

#235

I think it will be better than Cars, but I love Cars myself.

#236

It may not be that emotional, but I think it’s going to be cooler.

#237

Yeah, I hope it will be the most action packed Pixar movie since the Incredibles.
