(Spoilers ahead) The movie starts by showing the new-gen cars taking over the track and the veteran racers retiring. Lightning McQueen is the only one who doesn't quit. He felt that he still had a lot to give out. He ended up in a heartbreaking accident. After months of recovery, Sally and his friends in the Radiator Springs finally persuade him to go back to racing. The movie shows McQueen's everlasting bond with Hudson, even though Hudson's gone, his memory never fails to motivate McQueen. After a lot of unconventional training, Lightning McQueen gets to Flo Rida to race what might end up being his last race. This is where the plot twist comes in. It's really sad and heartbreaking to see McQueen give up the race, even if it's for someone as deserving as Cruz Ramirez. I've always loved Lightning McQueen and his sheer will to win against all odds, it was just disappointing to not get to see what I had waited for years. The climax of the movie was the point where Cruz pushed against the track boundary and came off flipping a complete 360 degree sideways, just like the fabulous Hudson Hornet had done in his glorious racing days. I just wished dearly that it was McQueen performing that, and winning the race. However, McQueen ended up being her chief, and it was great, but... what if. All things considered, not completely up to the mark considering the earlier movies, but nonetheless, a good sequel. 3.7 out of 5. Lightning McQueen 95. Ka-chow.
