One cinephile thinks that the latest Toy Story sequel is “absolutely spectacular”. He also praised Joan Cusack’s voice performance.
#ToyStory5 is absolutely SPECTACULAR! Jessie was always my favorite, and Cusack’s voice performance is great! It’s culturally relevant, comedically dynamite, and was a joy to see in IMAX with an audience full of kids, teens, and adults having a blast.

One moviegoer shared that although it’s not better than the original Toy Story trilogy, it’s still a fun movie, and he enjoyed it.
Just finished #ToyStory5 & overall I enjoyed it. Making Jessie the lead was a smart choice & they actually were able to create a story that made sense/added to the characters. Still doesn’t beat the og trilogy, but a fun movie! Great to see Woody & the gang back together. 4/5 pic.twitter.com/DyswT8jdEH

Another fan opined that Toy Story 5 is a great movie and that he’ll enjoy watching more films as long as Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are the voices of Woody & Buzz.
#ToyStory5 is a really great movie!!! Saw it tonight and I recommend it. They could make 20 of them and,as long as Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are the voices for Woody & Buzz, I’m all in.

A moviegoer posted that it is not a bad film and that it contains a good message about the use of technology. But he also said that there are too many Toy Story films.
To be honest, the movie wasn’t bad, it was very beautiful and had a good message about the proper use of technology, but there are already too many Toy Story movies 🥀
