Racecar Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) and his tow-truck buddy, Mater (Larry the Cable Guy), have had their share of adventures together but nothing like what they experience when they head overseas for the first-ever World Grand Prix. While Lightning has his eye on the road to the championship, Mater takes a detour to international espionage when he meets British master spy Finn McMissile (Michael Caine) and stunning spy-in-training Holley Shiftwell (Emily Mortimer).

Critics Consensus

Cars 2 is as visually appealing as any other Pixar production, but all that dazzle can't disguise the rusty storytelling under the hood.

Shubhra Gupta

The Indian Express

The trouble with stuffing too much into a film quickly becomes evident in Cars 2, as the plotlines tumble and collide with each other creating, mostly, cacophony.

Rated: 2/5

Don't tell the kids, but Santa Claus isn't real and Pixar is fallible.

London Evening Standard

It is all quite jolly and fast-paced, a feast for the eyes, but there's not much for the mind or the heart.

For the Win (USA Today)

It’s not awful, but it just felt so perfunctory to the point of apathy.

Deep Focus Review

It may not live up to the usual sophistication associated with the animation studio, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad film.

Rated: 3/4

It's all the delight of a spy movie, but with the added fact of Oh right, they're all cars!

This is the biggest waste of 1 hour 46 minutes. I would rather watch paint dry than watch 5 minutes of this god awful movie. Finn McMissile is a wasted character and his theme song is ass. Mater somehow becomes extremely smart in this movie. But in the last movie he didn't grow as a character. The acting is awful. 1 good thing came out of this movie, and it's Francesco Bernoulli besides that. This is one of the worst movies of all time. And if you want to torture yourself, this is the movie

This film is overhated, but that doesn't mean it's good. Mater doesn't work as a main character and the spy plot doesn't make much sense. Though, there's some things about Cars 2 that I do like, the soundtrack is great and the very few racing parts in the film are pretty entertaining. Overall, i don't think it's bad, but i don't really recommend it, just skip this film and watch the other 2 Cars movies.

I'll give those haters this, it's a very unloyal sequel. But it is definitely not a bad movie and absolutely not the worst Pixar film. It's fun, energetic, GORGEOUSLY animated, and who can resist the Michael Giaccino score. I'd easily pick this Pixar sequel over Toy Story 4.

Una de las películas más infravaloradas de la historia que cuenta con gran elenco de voces, una animación magnífica y un ritmo trepidante.
