I definitely thought this movie was amazing. I was going into thinking it was going to be like the 2nd movie which was OK, but not nearly as good as the original. Through this thought process I watched all the trailers, still wanting to see it, but my expectations were not high. Boy was I wrong. Naturally, by waiting about 10 years for what happens next, I was enthusiastic for the movie to start, and when it did, I could feel the intensity heighten. The pixar short was cute, with the day and night coming together. Then came the movie. And I must admit, I absolutely loved it. *SPOILER ALERT* Though it was obvious that Lotso was the bad guy and kind of resembled the same characteristics of the prospector from TS2, It had its own twists and turns that I found entertaining. I think my favorite part was when they were about to go into the fire and the claw came down. I knew right away that it was the alien guys, and the elan that I felt that they brought back the "You saved our lives. We are eternally grateful" thing and twisted it. So Good! =D It was a sad ending, and I could really relate to Andy because I just graduated and I'm going to leave for college soon as well. When he just told Bonnie about the toy's role's, I was choked up. But when he played with them for the last time, I was flat out crying; tears streaming down my face. I thought I was just crazy, but then I heard weeping from all around me as maybe a third of the theater was crying as well. Even calling back on it now, a tear forms in my eye. I loved that movie, and I might dare to even say that it was better than the original. The first one will always hold a place in my heart, but this one....this one was so good and so heart-wrenching that I feel like it tops the first. This is one of the new classics.
