The action and CG in this movie are incredible, almost to a fault. My personal opinion is that they are pretty much overkill. There is so much non-stop action that it's difficult to develop the story and really care about any of the characters. It is definitely eye candy if you're into mass destruction and violence, but I prefer a good story anytime.
I would rate this movie at least as good if not better than the original. The writers at Pixar have done it again. It's been quite awhile since I have laughed out loud at a movie, and brought to tears all within an hour and a half. A must see.
The movie was very enjoyable. There are some great lines in it, and with Jim Carey and Steve Carell providing the voices, you couldn't go wrong. It is a good movie to see for all ages.
