Cars (2006)

Too much of everything

Absolutely Fantastic

Absolutely brilliant

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Perhaps Pixar's most childish and least emotionally resonant attempt thus far, this animated feature is based upon a nonsensical concept that isn't even entirely consistent within its own internal logic and also borrows most of its plot elements beat-for-beat from 'Doc Hollywood (1991)'. For most of the run-time I was surprised to find myself bored by the predictable plot peppered with thin characterisations and no laughs whatsoever. The finale picks up a little and provides some passing entertainment, though. It also has the hero learn a lesson that isn't necessarily set-up as obviously as the others. The lack of any emotional impact is what really compounds the flick as one of the coveted studio's weakest attempts. 5/10

This movie is a great foundation of what will surely be a successful saga in years to come!Dads will enjoy taking their kids to the nearest theater or living room to watch this one. In the first minute, we forget that they are animated cars and we can see them like real actors developing a story of speed(!), friendship, camaraderie and dare I say love?The 911 girl is a special touch for me as a Porsche enthusiast. And I can't help but laugh every time (Tow) Mater enters the room and steals the spotlight from Lightning McQueen. The movie every Dad wanted to see when they were their kid's age has to be a good one!10 out of 10 to a movie I enjoy 'revisiting' from time to time.

Of all the films made about racing, or NASCAR in general, this is one of the best, if not the best. Even though it is animated, the story is incredibly moving and well paced. The actors who voice the cars, Paul Newman, Owen Wilson, Bonnie Hunt and Larry the Cable Guy do a spectacular job.The studio that created this film, PIXAR, has come long way. No one thought that films about Cars and Toys wold be this great, but they really are. In the eleven years since this films release, it is now a trilogy and one of the best franchises Disney has to offer.Paul Newman, having starred in this film, is a great parallel to his real life self being a racecar driver. And the film is a great parody/homage to Doc Hollywood, as it has been compared. Two major stars of this film have passed since its release, Paul Newman and George Carlin. However, they wrote Newman's character of Doc Hudson out of the sequels, but not Carlin's character of Fillmore. It is the start of a great trilogy!!

Cars was the first ever movie i saw in cinemas. and i loved it, i am surprised that the movie only got a 7.1 because to me i would think it would be in the 8's with all the other classic movies like toy story, the lion king, inside out and the Incredibles. lightning McQueen is a character everyone knows, the movie shows that everyone looks up to him as the cool guy, but really his just some selfish guy with no friends. lighting gets shown the meaning of friendship. and gets shown good sportsmanship which you will see at the end of the movie
