According to critic Christy Lemire (she's one of the 2 critics on Roger Ebert's new movie review show), "Cars 2" is not good:

I have never read a bad review for a Pixar film before - or even one of their short films before - but I can't say I'm shocked, really. I know I'm not a 7-year-old boy, but I watched the preview for it and it did not look interesting to me. I couldn't even really tell what was happening and why. Maybe only young boys will really love it?
Frankly, I was not a huge fan of the first "Cars" - it was okay, but it is no "Toy Story," let's face it. But it sounds like it is much better than its sequel.
I was always puzzled that "Cars" was a popular enough film to warrant a whole entire land devoted to it in DCA. That concept still puzzles me to this day, but I am trusting in Disney and John Lasseter that it will turn out nicely.
I wonder if there will still be as much excitement about CarsLand at DCA next year, even though I have a feeling this sequel is not going to pull the box office numbers Disney-Pixar is hoping. It will pull some numbers because Pixar films always do, but I wonder if there will be as many repeat viewings.
