CARS 2 IS A GOOD MOVIE
GOOD MUSIC
GOOD ART
GOOD STORY
GOOD CHARACTERS
ETC
You Might Think and Collision Of Worlds are both bops and suit the movie so well. I never liked Life Is A Highway because I feel like the song is too long, but I really like the rest of them. I can give or take Cars 3′s soundtrack. But the ambience in music outside of the themes in Cars 2 makes the film and the experience.
It has such gorgeous modeling for the settings, and it’s a joy and pleasure to admire both concept and final arts. The dynamics in space and depth and lighting are so unique and fun and real. Everywhere the characters goes FEELS new and FEELS alive.
I know a lot of folk can give or take the spy plot. I get it, but you can’t deny the beauty in the balance between the main and subplots and the way it ties together. I think it’s really fun for something so Un-Disney/Pixar and it’sdone beautifully. I generally really really love the sequels that Disney(no Pixar) writes and plans because its almost always up and coming writers exploring characters and dynamics left with them.
I love love love Holley. I love her so much. I love her attitude and the confidence pairing with nervousness and how unsure she is because she’s not meant for the field, but she grows so beautifully and elaborately into someone. I think Finn is such a good Bond Based character, partially because of the lack of misogyny and objectification so common in spy flicks. He’s just doing his job. There isn’t a one night stand or a sexy villain fling, it’s just him and his coworkers trying to handle shit. Plus!! A movie where Lightning is a secondary character really really hits in my book.
I think it’s a good movie. I think it’s the best of the trilogy, not as a cars film, but independent of its connections to the original. Cars 2 isn’t the best Cars film because it’s cars, but because it’s a good movie.
I can and will write more if requested
