First Cars 3 reactions crash in

UPDATE: The first full reviews are in and they’re mixed, giving the film a decent score on MetaCritic.

ORIGINAL STORY:

The first reactions to Disney-Pixar’s Cars 3 have crashed in and they’re extremely good.

Cars 2 disappointed many in 2011, especially critics (with a poor score on Rotten Tomatoes), but reviews for the third installment may be more positive if these first reactions are anything to go by.

The film has been highly praised following its world premiere over the weekend, with many highlighting its emotional moments and “female empowerment” themes. See the Twitter reactions below:

Cars 3, entertaining music, race action & xcellent Pixar animation. Female empowerment element welcome story addition. All ages appeal.

Saw Cars 3 last night and it's great. The performances of Owen Wilson and Larry the Cable Guy are worth the price of admission alone.
