Anyone who liked the first Planes will have no problem with the second (and anyone who didn't like it probably won't watch the second film, right?). I was a bit worried at first, but after about fifteen boring minutes the plot moved to the firefighter's base and the real spectacle began. Technically everything is perfect. The scenes have swing and momentum, they are often dramatic to the point of suspense, and the digital flames, smoke and water look real. The various jokes were also good, and I really liked the details like the little balsa airplanes nesting in the forest or the deer that look like forestry tractors. Don't be so strict.

An unnecessary sequel to an unnecessary film. I didn't enjoy the first film, and I didn't enjoy the second one either. It's just a recycling of old ideas, where the main character's issue with the engine is blown out of proportion, but nothing is as bad as it seems. Even though they can't race, they find a way to contribute and help out. No, I really didn't like this one bit.
