The sequel to Pixar’s least-lauded franchise underperformed this weekend both critically and commercially. Cars 2 marked the first Pixar film in its brief history to score rotten on the Tomatometer. At 34% positive reviews, the animated children’s film was even less hailed than the R-rated comedy Bad Teacher, which received 46% positive reviews. Yet the “Cars” franchise is not a complete and utter failure. It placed in the number one spot at the box office with $68 million, standard compared to previous Pixar summer entries.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
I don't know when I'll see this...I know I will but probably not for a while yet. I might even wait on this one until it comes out on dvd.
I was so worried about this one. But it seemed doomed to fail. I mean, Pixar went from Cars 1 which was about small town values, friendship, and community- to Cars 2- about international spies. That's like making Toy Story 4 about Andy taking Woody to World War 3 as an adult. It just ignores all the core values that made the first one so special and replaces them with explosions.
However, I think this is only a bump in the road with Pixar. Their upcoming movie, Brave, looks to be the Pixar we know and love.
I do know I want to see it because I enjoyed the first one so I'll be sure to go.
