Cars 2, James bond on wheels

Like always after watching a Pixar animation movie you feel like you want to see more. In the case of Toy Story, we could see a lot more with 2 extra parts. And now there is also a second part of the successful Cars Movie which can almost be seen as a complete new movie as it has besides the familiar characters not much to do with the original movie. Is this a bad thing ? No, I would not say that as this movie is much more grown-up as the kids who watched it for the first time are now also more grown-up. The Cars 2 movie is a real espionage movie in the style of James bond but with a big wink. It has the classical “spy movie” theme and a lot of the action can also be taken out of the Bourne Identity movies. Besides the known names as Lightning McQueen ( Owen Wilson ), Mater ( Larry the Cable Guy ) and Sally ( Bonny Hunt ) the cast is filled with a great number of fantastic roles. Finn McMissile ( Michael Caine ), Francesco Bernoulli ( John Turturro ) and the typical Bond name Holly Shiftwell ( Emily Mortimer ) are great additions to the story and make the world of cars a lot bigger.
If you liked the first movie then there is a good chance that you will love the second one. If you have kids in the age that where last time to young to see the first movie, then better to watch just that one, because the story is much denser, and for young kids it can be much.
