I think that's the issue. Cars had action but not violence. Not even a threat of potential violence, if I remember right (and I'm sure someone will correct me if I don't). It sounds like Cars 2 has violence and even greater potential violence. That doesn't mean it's a bad movie, but as a parent, I expect a sequel to be no more violent than the original movie. It's almost like the producers tried to make a movie that the original fans of Cars would like, bumping it up for a now-older audience.
This is the point the parent who originally posted on FB was trying to make. A parent has a certain expectation in regards to a sequel and parents who are taken by surprise are entitled to be frustrated. I believe this is the nuance that the OP missed when she posted her own opinion. The parent was drawn into a movie that was originally acceptable for her child, was marketed to her child and was then taken aback by the level of violence ( at a loss here, I did not see the movie) that was presented to her little one.
