I added the spoiler tag although I'm not sure if the super mild thing I say counts...it's of course revealed in trailers, and is literally shown in the opening minutes of the film, but if you want to know NOTHING about it...
Just saw Cars 2...IMO it's the first bad Pixar film. I don't have a particular interest in cars, but the first Cars still had a heart, and a point to it...this felt like what I was expecting from Pixar after Disney bought them...and I hope it's not the start of a trend.
It's just a joke next to Monsters, Inc, or The Incredible, or Ratatouille (which I can't spell), or Wall*e, or even Toy Story 3 (which surprisingly not only justified its existence, but was the best in the series, I thought).
There's just nothing here...Paul Newman of course is gone. Lightning is almost a bit character. It's just all Mater tied up in a brain dead cheesy G rated spy plot.
It's not TERRIBLE, but it's the worst film I've seen all year, including ones that I liked that got trashed like I Am Number Four. I'd give it a 2 on the Netflix scale...probably a 3 for Cars 1, which I liked about 10x more.
