Movie: Cars 2
3 July 2011 01:57Enjoyable. The whole beginning is a riff off any Bond opening (especially Goldeneye) before the credits. The funny thing - I could identify the 'evil' cars right away by the make. I mean - gremlins and pacers?!?!?! And even the european lemons - from watching Top Gear. Don't laugh too hard - I've driven a pacer. And wrecked it too. They don't drive too well with the flywheel driven up into the engine. Who knew?
What I liked: the Bond jokes, the intensely re-worked landscapes to fit into this world, the well drawn cars - which I could recognize and place! The lemon jokes
What I disliked: too much Mater. *sigh* Actually, this movie has the exact same problem as Pirates 4. Side character made into main and just doesn't quite pull it off. Mater wasn't bad.... I just wanted less of him (and more of the bond cars or hell, more Lightening).
I spent most of the movie giggling on the bond spoofs or the cars to pay much attention to plot. If you like cars or bond films, you'll enjoy, if you don't - you might be a little bored. See- the 1st movie I was laughing my ass off at Radiator Springs and the Route 66 puns and the desert and the roads and Mater's junk yard because it was what I grew up in. This one, not as amusing in this way - but amusing in the lemons and bond jokes.
