The main thing you’ll feel from Cars 3 is joy; this is Pixar at its most radiant and playful. Read full review

While it feels like it could use a more nuanced antagonist and is hit or miss in the comedy realm, there’s a nice sense of closure here, too, which would make this a perfect and redemptive beat to end the story on – both for the characters and the franchise as a whole. Read full review

Cars 3 doesn’t have enough velocity to escape that lesser tier. It does, however, offer a course correction for the franchise with a kinetic and emotionally resonant sports film that’s big on character – and blessedly light on Mater. Read full review

Cars 3 at least tries to put a little extra in the tank this time around. Read full review

While visually dynamic, Lightning McQueen’s newest challenge still feels out of alignment with a languid end result that lacks sufficient forward momentum. Read full review

Cars was one of my favourite movies from my childhood. So , I decided that I have to see this movie. I really liked this movie , it was very funny and for me , the last part of the movie was unexpected. They did a great job and I really wait to see it again at home.

I was very much excited for this movie and the trailer absolutely caught my eye onto it.

This movie's graphics was one of the best Pixar ever had and I saw this movie's potential as a great movie, but they executed it not in the way Mcqueen's fans (such as myself)would be glad to see, asI was very much excited for this movie and the trailer absolutely caught my eye onto it.

This movie's graphics was one of the best Pixar ever had and I saw this movie's potential as a great movie, but they executed it not in the way Mcqueen's fans (such as myself)would be glad to see, as the time we saw Mcqueen actually racing with rivals was the least from the Cars Trilogy, even the villain of this movie rarely appear in this movie. The characters in my opinion are fantastic, Cruz was a terrific addon onto this franchise and the mention of Doc in this movie made it even better. The best moments that i had from this movie when unpredictable things happen like letting Cruz finish the race for Mcqueen,it was fun and enjoyable. I gotta say Cars 3 is a great movie compared to Cars 2, but the original Cars would always be the best. Overall it sums up to be a good 'Thursday' night out with friends.… Expand

Mejor que Cars 2 pero peor que la primera, la trama de volver a la competición y a las carreras le hacia falta a la saga. Ese toque competitivo se perdió en parte en Cars 2, pero en esta ha vuelto 100% enfocada a ello.

Having seen enough animated feature that possible eligible for the 2018 Oscars, I'm really disappointed with the result of some of the big titles. Yes, including this one, not big films, except 'Coco' are up to any impressive. The bright side is, after a long time, 2D animation might win. This was an okay film. Though I liked the story outline, but did not like how it all was narrated.

I have seen the evolution of 'Harry Potter'. I meant the cast, particularly the main three. For a decade, the little kids grew into older teenagers. But for an animation character, there's no concept of ageing. They always remain same. This film just gave a new perspective. I mean it talked about being or growing old and how it impacts our lives. That we can't hold forever our safe position. Sooner or later, the youngsters will take over it.

McQueen is enjoying his racing, competing with his friendly opponents. But it all changes when a young rookie rewrites the history. Without able to cope with the new generation and their aggression, how McQueen and Co like to counter the latest threat is the film's story. Liked such inspiring storyline. I mean it would inspire more the middle aged people than anybody else. But it is a fun film for all ages, particularly the kids. It is just like turning 'Rambo' into 'Creed', I just want a new beginning in the next sequel.

A parte Toy Story 2, questo è l'unico sequel della Pixar che effettivamente migliora certi aspetti rispetto all'originale. Certo, non si può fare nulla per il suo worldbuilding confuso e la storia prevedibile, ma è riuscito, non so come, a utilizzare la nostalgia a suo vantaggio per effettivamente fatti coinvolgere dai personaggi. Cars 3, tra tutti quanti. Già.

Consigliato? Sì, dategli una possibilità, ma non fatevi gigantesche aspettative.… Expand

My favorite movie of all time is the original cars mostly because i loved it as a kid. If you are like me do not watch this movie. It crushes the hopes and dreams of anyone who loved cars. Cars 3 is probably one of the worst movies i have ever watched.
