This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A huge disappointment. The trailers really looked awesome and like the movie would be about Lightning McQueen making a triumphant comeback after suffering a huge loss. But no..... The movie starts out with 10 year racing veteran McQueen at the top of his game and having fun. Then come in all the more technologicaly advanced cars who go 210+ mph and everyone but McQueen goes into retirement or is fired, and he has a huge crash from pushing himself too hard. It then cuts to him back home and nothing of his crash or trauma are mention again. Encourage by his girlfriend to get back out there, Lightning goes to retrain at the training center of his new boss. Now Stirling was an interesting character but not really used much other than as a sort of antagonist who was more interested in money than taking care of Lightning himself or racing. Lightning gets this new trainer, Cruz, who is supposed to be able to get athletes into proper racing form but she spends more time making fun of Lightning for being over 30 and old, like a lot, embarrassing him or treating him like a grandpa. Seriously, she never listens to him or ask him if he’s happy she just annoys him. Frustration leads Lightning to mess up a racing simulator and having to make a deal to stay in the racing game if he wins a big race in a few weeks time. So he goes to train outdoors because y’know over 30’s don’t like technology and stuff. But he has to take Cruz with him and here it becomes obvious that she really is just nothing more than a fitness coach because she is hopeless out side and can’t race. So Lightning has to waste time training her because cruz is the 20 something year old who only works with tech and the outside is a foreign, scary place for her.

This goes on for a bit, Lightning looking after Cruz and she in no way helps him train or anything for his big race. A few days away from it we learn that oh no she wanted to be a racer but was to afraid to be one and wimped out. It’s here we’re supposed to feel sorry for her but I didn’t. At all. She doesn’t seem to realise that this means a lot to Lightning, it’s his life and income but no, her failure as a racer is what’s going to be important.

Lightning then goes to the home of his old mentors teacher, and him and all the old cars from the 1940’s to 1950’s also make fun of Lightning and call him old, excessively. They try to train lightning but it’s clear by now that the focus of the movie is Cruz and her life not Lightning making a come back as the trailers portrayed. Lightning goes to his race and out of the 43 racers he’s the last. He still makes it to number 14 in the 250th lap (there’s 500) but quits mid race to let Cruz have a shot at being a racer and start her career. It feels cheap. The ending was a huge disappointment and some people got up and left the cinema around me. I mean the jokes were bad, the movie was Ames’s of plots and characters and it all feels forced. Cruz feels like a cheap knockoff McQueen who never really works for her racing career, she has to be given it whilst all the other cars worked for it. She can do things no one else can with little training and taking over from some one half way through a race is cheating. Yes you can switch drivers in a race but the car is the same. This is more like if a runner switched with another to finish a race whilst all the other runners had to do the full thing. She’s not a good character for girls or women empowerment by being annoying, half-assed at her job, or having to get her career given to her because she can’t work for it herself. There is some hope though as Lightning said he would continue racing after he trained Cruz for the season so maybe, just maybe we will get to see Lightning be a champion like Pixar are always telling us he is. It would be nice to see him work through a movie, fight for his place at the top and win, spectaculary. This is something he has never done in any of the movies. He either gives it up to be kind or give someone something ( this plot is used here like in the first movie, so it’s got rehashed plot lines) or mater was the main lead. Pixar show us champion Lightning. He’s been nice, a good friend and nice again. Show us this winner you keep telling us about. That would be a really good movie unlike this one.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The trailer was promising to me & I expected it to be a really good movie, but instead it was "meh". I didn't really like Cruz & it was heartwarming how Lightning McQueen made a tribute to Doc at the end, but the trailer made it seem action packed & it wasn't as good as I expected.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An absolute disappointment. The trailers looked awesome, as did some of the artwork for the movie but instead we get this messy let-down movie that contradicts itself, is full of bad jokes, gender stereotypes ( you damn millennial and gen z kids), age-shaming ( constantly. the never let up on calling Lightning this throughout the movie) and basically retires Lightning McQueen for this Scrappy-do/Mary sue like character Cruz (who looks like a big mouthed house-car, has to be given everything, y'know confidence, training, her wins and half-asses her way to stardom), who is to be the new face of the franchise. Well sorry Pixar but I highly doubt you'll have much of an audience for the next Cars movie after this one. The movies beginning had McQueen lose out to all these digital cars (who never would have been in a NASCAR race) and crash (this is pretty horrific looking). He then decides to give racing a go again but his new trainer, Cruz, is so goddamn useless that it's almost painful to watch all the constant embarrassment and humiliation Lightning has to suffer from her. He eventually has to make a deal that will let him continue to race, if he wins, but has to take cruz with him. Big mistake! The movie goes from being a comeback movie to CREED....you lied Pixar....you lied. The rest of the movie is predictable plot lines/montages of Lightning training but actually training cruz as well and at the final race, where he does really good, puts her in to give her a chance at racing because women can't do it themselves y'know ( I am being sarcastic here). They can only get their chance if a guy gives it to them. Plus Cruz, who is not a pro racer or expert or anything, wins the other half of the race and everyone's like "Yay! a girl won! look look look!!!!! "Yes Pixar, we are very much aware we can race and win at things, thank you. Blah...it's all just message after message and disappointment. I really cannot see kids going out and asking for Cruz toys (girls as well as boys) after this movie. Oh! And it earned Pixar back, after production costs, 134 million less than Cars and 154 million less than Cars 2. That says something alright about this.… Expand

I had very low expectations for this POS movie but it was still so much worse than I thought it would be. They made 3 of these horrible toy commercials but only one Incredibles.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The film was marketed as a comeback for Lightning McQueen after he suffers a traumatic wreck during a race against newer model cars. These new cars are supposed to be the gen z cars of the cars world, though this is never brought up, and are portrayed as antisocial, self centred glory seekers, particularly Jackson Storm. Lightning then has to get help from a new trainer to prove to the world that he can still be a top racer, adapt with the times and still do his job.

Well, the film does start the way it was advertised, with Lightning being at the top of his game. The racingboard allows the newer cars in and all the older models have to either retire or are fired. Well what did they expect them to do when you bring in cars with lighter bodies and bigger engines? Lightning however still races and does okay. However, you can see that something bad is going to happen as each race gets darker and the music grittier, and it does with lightning crashing in the most spectacular, horrific fashion that really sets you up for his comeback.

Well this doesn’t happen.

The stuff advertised like Lightning being able to wind the clock up again? Doesn’t happen. Lightning is incapable of doing much of anything in this movie it seems, except training his only slightly younger replacement.

Lightning being an underdog and training to proving he’s still got it? Nope! Lightning’s underdog plot is obsolete/never really addressed.

Lightning coming to race Storm in a spectacular race? Storm’s barely seen and Lightning never races him.

Cruz being the trainer who helps get Lightning back in the game? Again, nope! Cruz couldn’t train a plant pot let-alone Lightning it seems. She’s at first deeming, ageist and incompetent, then goes to being even more useless with a boring backstory, before finally becoming a MarySue of all things.

From the moment Lightning meets Cruz, the whole movie just goes down hill. Basically Cruz, a failed wannabe race turned trainer, is an ageist little smart mouth who attempts to get Lightning to do the stupids things like naming his tires (seriously?! Does she not realise how many he goes through in a race?) treat him like he’s 1000 years old and incontinent. Sure Lightning was out of racing for a few months while recovering but he’s not an invalid or a rookie. Basically all her methods and Lightning’s behaviour to said methods are stereotypical “younger idiot trying to teach technophobic older guy things” cliches, along with most of the bad jokes in this film.

Once outside, the rest of the movie turns into an even bigger mess of various plots stolen from other movies such as rehashed stuff from the first Cars and Planes 2. There are various Rocky elements thrown in, lots of bad jokes, clichés and tropes about genders, age, minorities, and it all boils down to Lightning inadvertently training his own useless trainer (Creed). Lightning sticks her in his big race halfway through (this can’t be legal or fair to the other racers) and Cruz wins in the most unrealistic fashion with all the girls cheering for her. Why just the women? Why not everyone else. Where they booing or something? I would have. And the ending saying they both won is a cheap and disappointing.

Now, I'm not an adverse to seeing growth or changes in a character. I enjoy seeing the hero/heroine take hits and grow. This movie doesn’t do this for Lightning. He’s plot as an underdog trying to better himself is overshadowed by cruz’s want/need/plot to be his replacement. It goes back and forth like this so the story never feels emotional enough to bother investing in with either character. Plus we’ve never actually seen Lightning win on any major races or awards, just heard about it. This was a supreme disappointment to those wanting to see him win for once. This is the first Pixar/Disney film to have left me feeling so disappointed that I wanted to cry. It gets 1-star for the visuals and one more star because I did enjoy it up until Lightning got to the Rusteze centre but after that, the movies garbage! It will possibly be watchable to some kids ( under 5’s ) and adults who aren’t bothered by the movies “plot? What plot?” Story but I don’t know anyone who likes this movie. It borderline flopped at the box office and made less money world wide, after earning back its budget, than all other Pixar films except The Good Dinosaur. The main reviews simply praise it for not being Cars 2 and not much else. Granted, some like it but many others, like me, don’t like this film.

And if there is to be a Cars 4 starring Cruz? No thanks! I'm so done seeing the franchises that I love being destroyed by Disney and their ever-growing greed. This movie was a cashgrab and it’s clear the writers had no respect or inclination to depict the characters we love as they should be or grow them properly. So thank you Disney, Pixar, for ruining cars and for this film being one biggest disappointment of 2017.… Expand

Intended to be a remuneration on aging in the spotlight cars 3 is a dying breath. It limps to a bygone conclusion, posing questions it could never answer well enough. This is a far cry from the wholesome beginning.
