I heard it's an especially great film for people that are into cars, which would not be me
Also I just really cannot stand the character design
It just seems really lazy
you mean like you need to be a motorhead or something to enjoy it?
nope. i mean the man character is a NASCAR car and there are some references to F1 racing
and the character design (big eyes on windshields, mouths for grilles) is the way it is because John Lasseter wanted to due a tribute to a couple of old disnet short toons that had the same character design
its more of a nostalgia movie than just a car movie
i don't. it's not that i think they make horrible films, but i would not go out of my way to watch one. i think they are generally great kids' movies that have somehow become accepted as adult viewing, and in terms of adult film they are easy to criticise. the storylines are naff rather than classic, the themes are unchallenging and the humour is bad.
i particularly disliked wall-e. i liked toy story though

I'm going to list my top five pixar movies in order
I watched the first cars on an airplane, and at the time it made me think that pixar movies have become slightly formulaic. But it was fun enough, and I wouldn't have complained to anyone if they had taken me to see it.
don't get me wrong, i would be happy for my kids to watch them
would i pay attention? no
not like i would to the fantastic mr. fox
this is the problem. kids miss the subtleties anyway, so why not make the subtleties really fucking deft, rather than just sort of half-hearted nods to adult sensibilities? the fantastic mr. fox was genuinely interesting and challenging, much more so than anything i've seen from pixar, and the kids still love it.
I walked out of the theater so pissed and disappointed, and that's probably why I didn't bother seeing Up or Toy Story 3 in theaters and they just became a "when I get around to it" kind of deal

But I do find it astounding that the worst movie Pixar has made turned out merely okay.
EDIT: Okay... That trailer was something.
I'm not sure what to think of this one, but at least it looks like it won't be as soul-crushing as the last 3 Pixar movies turned out to be.
3DS: 2981-5304-3227
just... not really up to pixar's usual quality
entertaining, but not much actual substance
this one will probably about the same, and I'll probably still see it at least once
the Mater's Tall Tales shorts are pretty great though
I guess there will be two now
it's really not a bad movie
With cars.
Hrm.

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.

pardon?
If so, I believe that makes him one of only two people I've seen on the boards that doesn't like Pixar
Which is kinda crazy, to have that kind of universal approval around here
i don't know if it's possible to like or dislike a company though
I'll give them a chance when it comes to sequels.
I love Pixar
I am patently awaiting John Carter of Mars, which I thought was the next one up
uh their last two movies have been some of their best
what's prompted the newfound scrutiny?
why do you think you're more critical?
the quality of movies of the past few years? higher expectations? the business practices?
i particularly disliked wall-e. i liked toy story though
are you ready?

The rest, in order, because that's what this will become
1) Ratatouille
2) The Incredibles
3) Toy Story
4) A Bug's Life
5) Monsters, Inc.
6) Finding Nemo
7) Up
8) Toy Story 2
Oh wait I just remembered I have also not seen Toy Story 3 either, although I want to. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Hate Wall-E so much
It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever
I walked out of the theater so pissed and disappointed, and that's probably why I didn't bother seeing Up or Toy Story 3 in theaters and they just became a "when I get around to it" kind of deal
I'm allowed to hate one Pixar movie!
They are just softening up kids (and people like you) for the coming robot insurrection
a person being able to walk out of wall*e completely astounds me unless they were like
blind
or a sociopath
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
still
what do you mean it had no redeemable qualities?
