Critics Consensus

Cars 3 has an unexpectedly poignant story to go with its dazzling animation, suggesting Pixar's most middle-of-the-road franchise may have a surprising amount of tread left.

Ryland C

The one cars movie that actually made me cry. It is such a satisfying conclusion to the Cars trilogy because of its amount of emotional moments especially Lightnings character arc about whether or not he should retire from racing. And The flashbacks with Doc Hudson, and even Cruz Remeirez’s backstory. It is such a great film. Though not as good as the first movie, it sure was WAY better than cars 2.

It barely is good enough for ne to give it 3 ½ stars. The only reason I am giving it this much is because it is fine. I think that it seems like an average mentor story, which I gave come to dislike the whole passing the torch trope, but whatever. I guess where else is there to go with the franchise.

All I was looking for was seeing my hero rise to the top and win against all odds. Pixar really let me down with this one. The franchise is dead to me now.

Cars 3 is a decent reconstituted Rocky with a bizarre faux feminist subplot and beautiful animation.

Cars 3, which picks up where the first, perfectly adequate, film left off, is by far the best instalment in the series.

Rated: 3/5

It's a colourful, spry enough ride, but it doesn't exactly reinvent the wheel.

Deep Focus Review

Cars 3 has a well-worn, delivers-what's-expected quality that lacks vitality.

Rated: 2.5/4

The Cars films are the Arnold Palmer of the Pixar universe there is nothing overtly clever, revolutionary or daring about mixing sweet tea and lemonade, but the beverage goes down like a song as long as you dont mess up the batch.
