This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Cars 3 is a great film, don't get me wrong, but with all the trailers it really made it seem like it would be all about McQueen. However, while watching the film I definitely knew what was coming next. The film didn't even try to be unpredictable. Having Cruz Ramirez race at the end is touching and shows change for McQueen from the first Cars movie, as he doesn't only think about himself. But me being a huge Lighting fan, it is a little disappointing to not have him win his last race, it almost seemed like he gave up. Still, it is a great film for kids.… Expand

Beautiful visuals cant save this film from its own lack of imagination....

Unfortunately this movie shows the limits of its own world setting by rehashing the Cars 1 plot (with a predictable twist) and somehow the pacing in this world of Cars really drags its feet. Maybe its talking cars, but I felt really conscious of the fact I was listening to voice talent in a recording booth such was the lack of drama or character. Overall sub par for pixar.… Expand

Old cars and new cars. McQueen is an old car. Storm is a new car. Mcqueen is mad for a moment.
The animation is solid, but other than that, this ain't that great.

"Cars 3" feels like a spiritual successor to the original "Cars" by adding heart and a message to the story. However, the story itself is predictable and uneven.

Eh, it's better than Cars 2, but it doesn't make it better for being 50% a funneral dedicated to Paul Newman and the weakest and idiotic villian Jackson Storm. But at least it has funny moments, the characters are ok and the animation isEh, it's better than Cars 2, but it doesn't make it better for being 50% a funneral dedicated to Paul Newman and the weakest and idiotic villian Jackson Storm. But at least it has funny moments, the characters are ok and the animation is great. I never been a fan of the Cars framchise, but this movie represent what Pixar is going now. They used to be the best of the best like McQueen but now they're old and there's new animated studios to replace him. Anyway, I like Despicable Me 3 more than this.… Expand

I didn't thought this scenario for this movie. I think there's more attractive things on here. I don't very satisfied with this movie. If the scenario is more attractive (like Mcqueen don't resign), I would give 10 stars.

Although I found it to be an ever-so slight improvement over the second film that we'd all love to forget even happened, unfortunately, that isn't saying much for the case of this third outing. Granted, the film does bring a few decentAlthough I found it to be an ever-so slight improvement over the second film that we'd all love to forget even happened, unfortunately, that isn't saying much for the case of this third outing. Granted, the film does bring a few decent aspects to the table that keep it from just barely not sinking to the level of the second film. For one, it doesn't even mention the second film or contain a single character from that one at all (thankfully). Second, it does something that truly surprised me in a rather good way. Paul Newman, who voiced Doc Hudson in the first film back in 2006, and also sadly passed away two years later in 2008, had his voice featured in this film from recorded dialogue from the first film that went unused. Therefore, one of my favorite aspects from the first film was focused on more, which was Newman's voice talent and Doc Hudson's relationship with Lighting McQueen. That was truly a pleasant surprise for me that I so wish would've been enough to redeem the rest of this film for me, because aside from these positive standouts that I've mentioned, the rest of the film felt very uninspired and lazy, especially story-wise (if you've seen Rocky 3, you've basically kind of already seen this too). Overall, its few positive aspects, as well as the endearing and final return of Newman's voice talent made this a decent comeback effort from Pixar on behalf of the embarrassing second film, but it simply wasn't enough to save the rest of the film and its story unfortunately.… Expand

Better than "Cars 2", but that's not much of an endorsement. This series peaked at the first film, which I consider to be lower-tier Pixar itself. I was pretty bored with this one, save for the somewhat-exciting final act.

It's pretty clear that Cars is the weakest Pixar movie franchise in terms of storytelling, character development and overall quality: The first Cars was not Pixar's worst but far from the best, Cars 2 was god-awful and Cars 3 is surprisingly a BIG improvement over the last film, it manages to be a good movie.

Cars 3 has amazing animation (as expected from Pixar), a generic but decent plot with actual conflict this time, having Lightning McQueen now struggle to stay relevant against a new generation of hi-tech racers. It has decent writing and it feels like this was an "apology letter" to Pixar fans, this is noticeable with the fact that Mater now has like a couple of minutes of screen time. The worst character of the last film, barely appears in this movie, thank God. I have some problems with the story and characters, like the way this ends, the ending was extremely predictable and hilariously ridiculous. Some characters from the previous movies (besides Mater) barely have any screentime, serve no purpose to the plot and feel like shoehorned in and the new characters lack development or charisma, they are pretty forgettable.

This is obviously not a great movie, it's actually decent and has a purpose in the story of the franchise. I enjoyed the movie and it isn't anything too memorable or something I would rewatch.… Expand

Bit disappointing, great animation but boring story and less laughs than previous films.
