I just got back from it, and I thought it was GREAT. Pixar manages to keep outdoing themselves in terms of animation. The scenery was fantastic, and the racing scenes were well animated, and the crowd full of cars was stunning.
All of the voice acting was perfect. Paul Newman, Owen Wilson, and some of the others were all perfect. The one who really steals the show is Larry the Cable Guy. He was just flat out hilarious. And has some great one-liners. "He was actually a great racer and won three piston cups!" "He did what in cups?!?!" :lol: All of the details were fantastic. The rock formations on the cliffs resembled car parts, the air plane streeks in the sky looked like tire tracks, and many other things and visual gags.
My only complaints would be that the pacing could've been better. Some moments it felt really slow. But aside from that, I had a really poor movie going experience. Why? The kids! All of the noisy mis-behaving kids in the audience! Ugh! Of corse, that's not the movie's fault, but it was a little less enjoyable because of that.
Over all, this is a great film. Another solid effort by Pixar. Not quite their best ( which is still the Incredables ), but still great.
Grade: B+
BTW: STAY DURING THE CREDITS!!!!!! It shows some funny scenes afterward. And then, there's some really funny jab at the John Ratzenberger character. Trust me, its worth it, and its hilarious. And at the very end of the credits, there's another small little scene.
