| Ebert Presents At The MoviesIgnatiy VishnevetskyA really fun movie with a lot going on in it. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenIt is a good film, but lacks the emotional punch of "Up" or the exquisite ending of "Toy Story 3." Maybe this one is bad enough that the establishment will allow an animator other than Pixar to win the top awards this year. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereAll winning streaks must come to an end, but this is ugly. |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusA work of disheartening anonymity … not only is Cars 2 mediocre, it doesn't even feel like mediocre Pixar. |
| E! OnlineMatt StevensThis souped-up sequel kicks it into high gear with new characters, slick animation and a global espionage caper. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowAll the shifts in location with four big races and the spy story get overly complicated without drawing us in, a disquieting sense of missing the forest for the trees. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternThe movie has its own deficits - a lack of variety, originality, subtlety, clarity and plain old charm. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversLasseter is back behind the wheel, and you can feel his love for all things automotive in every frame. No humans blot this anthropomorphic romp. Cars do all the talking. |
| AV ClubNathan RabinCars 2 looks fantastic, but the studio has never given audiences - especially audiences over the age of 10 - less reason to be emotionally invested in the beautiful shiny things flying across the screen. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertCars 2 is fun. Whether that's because John Lasseter is in touch with his inner child or mine, I cannot say. |
