Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I love this movie and the first one. I don't care if it's made for kids; I'm 30 years old and have a great time with these movies!What really makes me love them so much is Dusty. He is a kind, caring character who never puts himself before others. The voice work is really good as well, as are the aerial shots. The filmmakers go to a lot of trouble to depict the flying sequences with as much realism as possible.The plots are pretty basic, but that's okay. This isn't The Lion King or How to Train Your Dragon level of story-telling, it doesn't need to be.I want to see more adventures with Dusty and his friends. I hope they are making a third one!

Planes: Fire and Rescue (2014): Dir: Roberts "Bobs" Gannaway / Voices: Dane Cook, Julie Bowen, Ed Harris, Stacy Keach, Teri Hatcher: Sequel to Planes where it examines new talents and the extremes one could go to exercise potential. Hero race plane Dusty Crophopper is troubled when he has a engine trouble where in the replacement is near impossible. When a fire breaks out they are under threat when containing it caused so much damage. Dusty decides to assist the ageing fire engine by going off to be trained to be a fire fighting plane. This plot is similar to Cars both in story and character yet it still manages detail. What is most alarming is the amount of fires that seem to pop up constantly keeping these vehicles with minds of their own busy. The outcome is easily predictable but the screenplay is surprisingly sturdy. Dane Cook voices Dusty and unfortunately he is the only character of interest in this scrap heap. Dusty is hindered of his passion yet finds opportunity elsewhere where new abilities are harnessed. Other characters are not so colourful. Julie Bowen voices a creepy female plane who seems to enter Dusty's space a tad too much. Ed Harris voices an ever familiar personality of a helicopter with a past that he tries to forget. Stacy Keach voices Dusty's mentor, and Teri Hatcher voices a forklift. Despite themes of courage and ability this film only exists to cash in on the first film, which in itself, was just a cash in on Cars. The animated characters are colourful but many of their personalities die like an engine that is long overdue to be replaced with something far more interesting than this. Score: 5 ½ / 10

I had great expectations for both "Planes" and "Planes: Fire and rescue". Both were letdowns! Neither film had the humor, heart and charisma that have characterized previous Pixar films. Ever since Disney bought out Pixar I have noticed a distinct decline in the quality of films made under the Disney Animation Studios logo. Disney has, in my opinion, ignored great Pixar directors like Andrew Stanton, Pete Doctor, and Lee Unkrich. These directors have made the best animated films on the planet and Disney doesn't use them! I have also noticed much of the production work is done in India with Indian animators and production staff. Is there a reason for this? I am not saying they are worse or better than animators in America. They are good. Disney needs to bring back Andrew Stanton, Pete Doctor and Lee Unkrich.

The movie is about duster the race plane who had an accident that cost him the gear box and made him unable to race again,,,at the same time the airport of his town was decirtified due to lack of fire safety measures,,so he decided to help his town by getting certified as a fire distinguisher,,,he goes to a fire area to train with a group of certifying pros Facing a lot with this group,,,ending up helping them and their missions and them helping him to get a new gear box I don't pay attention to story lines and rational in animation movies,,,they are not suppose to be rational,,,or with a complicated storyline,,but they are suppose to be fascinating and imaginary and amusing and funny,,,I'm suppose to laugh or at least smile at the characters of the cartoon movies,,,,this movie is nothing but a disfigured replica of the masterpiece ( cars) ,,,its really really boring,,,no amusing scenes,,,no beautiful graphics,,,no catchy characters,,,i felt bored even telling the story,,,its failed even in providing a struggle or a value or a lesson that kids can learn,,,,I'm a big fan of animation,,,it can set your imagination free,,,this one is a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad regretful waste of time
