for me cars 2 is definitely a film of two halves when i liked it i loved it and i
actually preferred the bits that i loved to the first cars film but i do think the first
half of the film was a little bit slow i will explain that in more detail but i won't give
any spoilers so if you haven't seen the sequel yet that's absolutely fine this was released in
2011 directed by john laster and bradford lewis and stars are usual fantastic voice cast um
owen wilson of course as uh lightning mcqueen larry the cable guy is maisoner we have michael
kane and emily mortimer eddie izza john turturro absolutely brilliant voice cast as always
and that's obviously reflected in the quality of the voice acting with regards to the narrative i
think it's more emotional than the first film but i think it took a a long time to get going
also john ratzenberger voices in it but not quite as much as he did in the first film
um so the description from imdb sums it up quite well without giving any spoilers and they actually
wet your appetite and this reads as follows star race car lightning mcqueen and his palm
mater head overseas to compete in the world grand prix race but the road to the championship becomes
rocky as mater gets caught up in an intriguing adventure of his own international espionage so
lightning mcqueen is going to race in the grand prix but he reluctantly takes
mater along with him mater is a brilliant friend an absolutely fantastic loyal friend
but he gets in the way of in the bit um he gets in the way of it and that's definitely proven once
they get on the road and suddenly mater starts causing problems and seems to become quite a
laughingstock and that's very distracting for lightning mcqueen so mater goes off um
really to have a bit of a sulk as us is fair enough and he meets these cars
these british cars who seem to think that mater is an undercover spy an undercover agent
and suddenly he finds himself embroiled in this scheme that i won't say anymore about
you'll learn about it as the narrative unfolds i don't want to give away too much too soon
and mater doesn't necessarily fully understand what's going on either they don't
realize that he is just mater and he is not an agent undercover
and at least in some pretty interesting dialogue and some pretty interesting scenarios and once
that part kicked in i will say once you get the scene with the aeroplane i won't say anymore but
once you get that scene that's the point when i thought this is getting really interesting i think
the dialogue between the british agents and mater is brilliant i don't know what's going to happen
next i don't know what to expect i don't know what direction this is going to take and it began
began to get really exciting in interestingly that's when it became a lot more about mater
than it did lightning mcqueen even though i kind of prefer mcqueen as a character to mater
i think i've never really thought about that i just assumed i preferred lightning mcqueen
um but mater is obviously a really brilliant character but a little bit frustrating when
he kind of doesn't really understand things that everybody else seems to
thoroughly enjoyed it um there is the british element in this um i don't want to say too
much but i will say i loved loved the police cars as soon as i saw them my heart melted and
they're so adorable and i absolutely love them and i wish they were real because they're absolutely
gorgeous and my heart melted a lot and that made me really happy so there are a lot of elements in
this i thoroughly enjoyed i think the development of the narrative once it gets going is really good
it's not so much that it's slow before that but it's just i didn't personally find what
was on screen to be as interesting as the second half of the film maybe the second two
second two thirds that does make sense i enjoyed it a lot i'm really looking forward to cars three
i'm going to give at least a couple of days before i watch the next one i'm quite excited to see it
um but i'm really looking forward to it cars 2
unexpectedly i think for the most part i preferred to the first cars film
