Well

1.) It's Busy Street, and

2.) It's likely a Disney Death. He's a machine.

I personally loved Cars and am looking forward to this, regardless of what the critics say.

Cars 2 now has a 75% under the top critics. There is still hope

It's now down to 52% altogether. The awful-looking Bad Teacher (with possibly the most shallow main character of any movie this year) is at a 51%.

For a company whose movies usually score 90% or higher, this is bad news.

In the very least, be glad it's higher then Bad Teacher...if it goes any lower then that movie's score, then i'll start to worry

It's still 75% with Top Critics. And one of the negative reviews was summed up with this nonsensical gem:

"This isn't an animated film. It is a cartoon."

That's the same thing!

An animated film is pretentious. A cartoon is fun.

I'm more convinced than ever to see it.

The top critics section is more reliable and the movie isnt out yet so these are only about 1/4th of the reviews

Well anyways even if this movie is really a fail it will be interesting to see how it could fail.

I don't want to link to anything from Amid, but...

Even if it bombs at the box office, it could still turn out to be one of Pixar's most profitable films yet.

I wonder if anyone else will be there at the midnight premiere tomorrow night?

Despite being one of the only people who would list the original as one of their favorite Pixar films, I think I'm gonna pass on this one. The whole spies angle that the trailers keep pushing so hard seems really out of touch with the first movie's tone. The first one was an all-ages thing anyone could enjoy, this just looks like strictly kiddy-fare.

You are not alone, and you are not strange. You are you, and everyone has damage. Be the better person.

Disliked the first movie for exactly those reasons, so the new one seems interesting to me. That said, it is more of a spin-off than a sequel, but I don't care.

I would not care about non-top critics scores for a movie that is yet to be released, mostly because, what guarantee is there that the no-top critics actually watched it? I guess the nonsensical claim mentioned above really is telling.

I feel like I'm partially responsible for this. In the past, in order to describe an impossible statement I would often say "Yeah, when PIXAR makes a bad film." Cue 48% .

I mean, I'll still go see this film because I love PIXAAR and actually didn't hate Cars 1, but I probably just won't see it in 3D.

Maybe this is all one big gambit to prove that Pixar is in fact not invincible. The fact that the film changed directors during production and Lasseter has a million other things going on (producing Tangled, working on the English dub of Arrietty, developing Brave, Monsters University and Wreck-It Ralph) is probably a good example that this was not going to get much attention.

Normally I would be worried (right now I'm just upset, this is like their first movie that really bombed in ratings), but this movie is going to make SHITLOAD of money, so they'll come out of it laughing with no setbacks and HOPEFULLY go back to making the kind of great movies that are their real specialty.

Well, regardless, Brave looks fantastic.
