The magic of the first 2 movies just dissapeared. My take away from the 1st movie is the young rookie keeping up with the overwhelming yet undersatisfiying rockstar lifestyle of american national athletes, and makes a point about going back to roots or reality, simplicity and subtle things that makes racing enjoyable, but touches with real social experiences and bonding with real people with real personalities. Long term sublte satisfaction over dopamine rush, being humble, having a mentor, dangers of modern society, not being selfish etc. The second one was about being an international level athlete with roots in the raw rural american country, added with some 007 spy parody (but with serious outcomes which was very well done and actually invests you more in the movie, almost as if the writing is adapted to the audience of the first movie, that has grown years). With a focus on Mater, and his development as a character who was far from self aware, and is progressively taken more serious throughout the movie. Shows a lot of the good sides of our capitalist international world, with very good looking cars, yachts, conventions, billionaires, the Queen of England, Paris, Tokyo etc. A strong plot that shows some billionaire's interests, the mafia etc that will be corrupted because of their appearances as lesser, older car models, to which Mater is indentfied as, but does'nt let it guide his actions. Very dense movies, both watchable even today and learn more. Bright colors, high definition animation, 3d, realism of the universe, excellent writing and animation. This movie: is of the highest animation quality and designs of new characters, audio and visual experience was a blessing, as good as or even better than Zootopia or Incredibles 2. Execution of scenes and plot was good, keeps your attention and at the same time absorbs you. MY PROBLEM: After learning and grieving about McQueen's now dead mentor, and McQueen re exploring his past achievements and roots to beat a new generation of rookies with hybrid tech. We learned in the lasts movies how to beat the competition as the underdog by boosting your qualities and going back fo your roots. Yet at the end of the movie he lets the "next generation" ,a new very uninteresting character with better car characteristics or abilities (I am not a car conaisseur), replace him in the final race and apparently retires. This was not a plot twist, just very bad writing. I would be fine if it was a better character, familiarized and also and more importantly if the movie wasnt so much about McQueen being an achieved competitor with another competitive challenge but instead being an achieved competitor that has won enough. The "mantle-passing" to the next generation and accepting retirement was done in the last minutes of the movie. The end of this movie discredits everything. Which is the same as Game of Thrones s8, after watching this, you can hardly bring yourself to appreciate a masterpieces that came before again.

This is a movie worth watching, it's what you expect of those disaster Hollywood movies, but it entertains and moves fast. Don't trust the Rotten tomatoes, ect.
