Ah yes...this indeed is the year of the Super Hero. With
Thor, X-men, Green Lantern, and
Cap entertaining audiences across the world this year,fan boys can truly say they're in heaven(well for the most part). But what would really put the cherry on top of this Super Hero summer would be a super hero emerging from Pixar.
Yes, when I saw the first preview for
Cars 2, I groaned. It is no doubt that
Cars is the WEAKEST Pixar film to date, and with bad reviews coming for its sequel, one may state that Pixar has gone mad.
Cars was forgettable, predictable and in comparison to the company's other films, it sucked. Bad.
Yeah, children from ages to 4-7 may love this flick but for the rest of us, do really want Pixar to do this to us? I mean seriously.
What they should have done, is gone with
Incredibles 2. The original was great, an amazing motion picture, one with wit, memorable action and in the end, it set it up for a Sequel. But it never happened. Instead, Pixar went off and did the weak
Cars and redeemed themselves with four excellent movies in a row. Many wondered when
Incredibles would get its sequel.
Personally, I think it should've been this summer.
Incredibles 2 would bring in the most money out of any of the Super Hero flicks already listed this summer, and there would be so much they could do with the subject, whereas
Cars should've been left alone.
Bottom Line is would you rather go see a sequel to one of Pixar's greatest achievements featuring a witty super hero family out to save the world from destruction, or would you rather pay to sit through a mediocre and weak attempt to make money (Cars 2) featuring a character just as likeable as Jar Jar Binks (Mater)?
