If Cars 3 was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Cars 3 is the cinematic equivalent of finding your old toys and trying to charge admission.

Cars 3: nostalgia bait so transparent it should come with fishing licence paperwork.

Hot Take: Cars 3's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Everyone praising the Cars 3 performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Cars 3 actually is?
Rewatched Cars 3 last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Cars 3?
Director clearly thought Cars 3 was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Cars 3?
Honestly, Cars 3 would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
