Just about every review from critics and regular movie going folk alike are loving this movie. It’s probably the single highest rated, most popular movie out in a while. Anybody seen it? If so, give us your review…minus any spoilers please.:o
i saw it. I thought it was AWESOME!
but it did get a little slow towards the middle.
i still liked it. worth the 9$
Saw it, twice.
A lot of the newer animated movies are a little, eh, cheesy… but Wall-e has the nice feature of not trying to promote any family values (at least I didn’t pick up on any). It’s a very entertaining story with amazing animation.
Also, keep your eyes out, there’s a unicycle in the background of one of the scenes… Did anyone else spot it?
If I could play Ebert and Siskel, I’d give it one thumb up, and one thumb down. Visually it is quite a stunning movie, lots of digitally-rendered eye candy. The plot is interesting… mildly. It’s got some political messages in it, and a few stabs at the human condition, but it’s all old hat by now.
My beef is the script… the dialog is sparse for quite a stretch… as in there is none. The movie is obviously designed to draw some tears out of you at some point, laughs at others, but it seems targeted more at kids than adults. I just couldn’t “get into it”. Some of my friends did. YMMV
If you really like Pixar movies, or have a group of friends that wanna see it, then go. But if you only watch one movie every once in a while, I’d say choose again. There are hundreds of classics out there I’m sure you’ve yet to see, and you’d be better entertained.
Wall-E just seemed like “fluff” to me… where as Kevin Reynolds 2002 version of “The Count of Monte Cristo” was absolutely stunning. I just saw that last weekend and immediately wanted to watch it again… too bad it was 2 AM
Apparently, I’m not the only one who thinks “WALL-E” bares a very strong resemblance to “Johnny 5” from the 1986 movie, “Short Circuit”. I loved that movie, and instead of animation, that robot was built from scratch and was actually functional.
Go see it… it’s touching…
It’s great. It has some action and it truely is touching…
I think it was a great movie… Well worth my 6$ matinee
I saw a trailer for Wall-E the other day and thought it was a Short Ciruit remake/sequel.
Um, that was the creepy guy sitting next to you in the trenchcoat, not the movie.
I thought it had too much dialogue. They lull you into this nice sense of pure visual story telling, then they over explain everything with talking in the second half.
I liked it and was very entertained, but I did not find it the life changing experience that some people seemed to have had.
It does feel like two movies with a different feel to each one. Here is most of the dialog until the last third:
Eve-a, Wall-e… Eve-a, Wall-e… Eve-a, Wall-e…
Bottom line: I was never bored in spite of the lack of dialog, it is a visual feast and a cute story. But the story line is thin compared to movies like the Incredibles, Monsters Inc (my favorite) and Nemo. If I had to rank them, Wall-E would be behind these three.
Do not disassemble!
unavailable.
I watched it with Isaiah (AKA Zipper/PU&IFLUNICYCLES) and he spotted it.
It was a good movie. I liked the sort of “message” it sent.
Where?
