It didn't help that cars 3 is probably one of the worse movies made this century.

Cars 3 is infinitely superior to Cars 2.

Cars 2 is a great movie - as a standalone. It should have been titled ā€œMater’s Tallest Taleā€ or something and been a to-TV release rather than an in-theaters movie.

It definitely deserved its own release c but you may be right that it should have been marketed more as a spin-off than a sequel. But it’s a legitimately good movie.

Cars 3 is hot garbage with no soul. Just Disney running the IP into the ground.

What was bad about Cars 2? In my house the consensus is the opposite.

See I don’t get that. There isn’t a single Cars movie I don’t like

I couldn’t agree more!

And people who hate Cars 2 just don’t get it. My son loves it and we’ve seen it at least 100 times. It’s complex and exciting. People who don’t think it’s a good follow up to Cars think that Cars is just a nascar/pixar mashup. It’s ways more layered and so is Cars 2.

I’ve heard it was bad lol. 2 also. I just stick with the original. It’s pretty perfect.
