By far the most breathtakingly heartbraking film I have ever had the imense pleasure of seeing, WALL*E was magnificent blend of romance and comedy that left me in awe.

The film is a visual masterpiece, but the real beauty of WALL-E comes from the fact that its story is a much-needed cautionary tale that, while uncomfortable, is something that should have been seen by people a long time ago. One can only be The film is a visual masterpiece, but the real beauty of WALL-E comes from the fact that its story is a much-needed cautionary tale that, while uncomfortable, is something that should have been seen by people a long time ago. One can only be thankful that it was portrayed with such expert finesse and with a sense of humor that only Pixar can deliver. I would not be surprised if this film was nominated for Best Picture, in addition to best Animated. It simply smashes the boundaries of what a family film is supposed to be. Should the viewer not understand the significance of what they are seeing, it is a sad thing, because this film is revolutionary in the history of animated features.… Expand

People who fault this movie for its lack of dialogue are simply unwilling to pay attention to a movie; while great movies utilize dialogue well, the best movies use dialogue well and leave it out even better. And Wall-E did that. The story, People who fault this movie for its lack of dialogue are simply unwilling to pay attention to a movie; while great movies utilize dialogue well, the best movies use dialogue well and leave it out even better. And Wall-E did that. The story, though not very complicated, was intriguing, and had an unspoken but important message. Anyone that thinks this movie was about mocking obesity is simply an idiot for not reading between the lines--it's about overreliance on others, and ignorance to problems of overconsumerism. A fantastic film, and if you can't recognize that, you're less intelligent than any of the robots in this film possibly could be. Go watch "Wanted" and be mindlessly entertained.… Expand

I've read the complaints that this film is lacking action, humor, or color, but that is exactly why it is brilliant. PIXAR hasn't stepped out of the box, it has leapt from it to create a beautiful love story, with a message that may ring more true as time passes about our culture and our lack of responsibility toward our home. Not only was this a great film, it is the best PIXAR film, and I hope it gets a well-deserved nod from the Academy for Best Picture 2008.… Expand

WALL-E is a wonderful film, with some moments that are truly hilarious and some that will live on in my heart for quite some time. It's rare to see so much done with so little--in fact, the movie's simplicity (of dialogue and of characters) contributes to its beauty.

You'd think robot voice-overs would get annoying, but they are actually done wonderfully in a cute sort of way. I didn't think this movie was the greatest animation ever made, but I score it highly for its uniqueness, the development of the relationship between two unconventional stars [Wall-E & Eva], and the anticipation of which way the storyline was headed [built up a little suspense/curiosity]. I was kind of surprised that it felt like more of an adult oriented animation in that the beginning of the film was shot with little-to-no dialogue [hold a young kids attention span?], but rather watching Wall-E go about doing his thing and introducing himself to the audience. Kind of gutsy, but I suppose the kids love it nonetheless.… Expand

Funny how people recognize smoking and excessive drinking as true problems facing society, but forget that over eating is one as well. Wall-E, however, is not saying that! The movie is simply pointing out that huge corporations will do anything to not put the blame on themselves when it's their mistakes that have caused such harm. That's what made the people on the ship fat! They had simply lost the concept of what being human meant, and were slowly turning into a kind of "machine" themselves due to Buy'N'Large's huge goof!

I'm kind of tired of everyone throwing Pixar a huge bone of 'wow! that was awesome! Ground breaking!' for every movie they create. They best Pixar movie, by the way, is still FInding Nemo. Anyway, the chilling scenary is juxtaposed against child-like Wall-e, and that's what makes this movie. The idea that over-consumption is going to kill the world is taken to a drastic extreme, but it's a good message. However, using the 'OMG! If you buy too much, YOU WILL GET FAT!' logic doesn't really work. Using people's fear of fat as a reason to save the environment is not a creative idea. It's a cheap idea, and the idea that the fat people in the movie were supposed to represent modern Americans is insulting to many fat people who are fat because their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents were fat. Also, blaming these said fat people for destroying the world is not an original or enlightening message.… Expand

Could only give it a 7/10 because of the weak story and lack of kid appeal. The animation is gorgeous but the story is not half as good as some of the other Pixar films.

Your kids didn't understand? Take them to something simpler. This movie was not designed to pander to the audience; it is a beautiful work of art, containing messages that are not limited to warnings about the current state of the world, and playing to an audience that is not limited to the young. The expressions of loneliness, love, and hope are the most touching that I have ever experienced in a movie, and I pity those who cannot see the same.… Expand

Wonderful character animation, lighting and camera work this time around (over-use of lens effects and depth of field, however.) Many funny and touching moments. My main criticism is, as many others have pointed out, is that the commentary on western culture is way too heavy handed. The portrayal of humanity in the future (morbidly obese, sheltered, addicted to the big-box way of life) is humorous but akin to being whacked over the head with a giant hammer. I expect more subtlety out of Pixar's creative minds! My tastes fall in line more with the Brad Bird teams at Pixar. Would recommend seeing the movie, but don't expect to be blown away. The pre-feature short, "Presto," was wonderful!… Expand

Other than that, absolutely perfect, this touched me and was far more enjoyable than Batman TDK.

This gave us lots of time to prepare him and get him excited at the prospect, hoping he wouldn't wail the moment the lights went down. He loved this movie so much; he didn't make a single noise throughout other than asking for more popcorn, and he cried for a good 10 minutes after the last credit rolled as he simply didn't want to leave. The same happened the day after when we took him to see it again! I can see why some people say it's not really aimed at kids, but I think it's ALSO aimed at kids. There are some harsh warnings on our treatment of the planet but that's a by-product of an excellent story and script. I don't see it as being the center piece of the movie, it just allows the other story to be told. The visuals of the movie were incredible, more so when the characters were on earth due to the excellent rolling backgrounds. I've never known so much emotion could be portrayed from a pair of eyes, or different pronunciations of each character's name. My son loved it, my wife and I loved it and I'll be pre-ordering the DVD.… Expand

What Pixar, Stanton and his team have created is a heart-warming throwback to the core values of what we as humans should be embracing, purity and at the centre of that, love. Stanton has achieved that through a most unlikely but completely enchanting and loveable character in Wall-E. To watch him potter around a once rich and teeming landscape now reduced to a desolate wasteland by the greed and inaction of the human race, casually collecting up trinkets of a lost civilisation along the way and enjoying the 9 to 5 job for which he was created was nothing short of a delight. To watch him develop a sense of his duty to the human race was profound. No mention needs to be made of the films visual qualities - it is as expected. Stanton delivers also on the speed and pace of the movie. You are never left wanting. The movie opens with the unsettling imagery of the earth's landscape in complete disarray. It is familiar and yet disturbing all at once. Earth is a complete mess and has been so for 700 years previous, save for the extraordinary efforts of the little leading robot. You literally love Wall-E at first site and for the more jaded among us, grow to love him as the movie progresses. Wall-E is to modern cinema what Chaplin was to pantomime. This cannot be understated and the significance of Wall-E's onscreen presence, by and large, should have every audience member captivated. By and Large? Possibly an acronym for the films corporate villain, BnL? The addition of EVE served to provide the audience with the perfect foil for Wall-E's doting eccentrics and the perfect partner it seemed for Wall-E himself. A classic example of the lady and the tramp, a loveable charming lout, rough around the edges, trying to and succeeding in, gaining the affections of the upper class lady. The two fit perfectly despite coming from obviously different environmental backgrounds. The scenes involving EVE and Wall-E are pure cinematic genius. You find yourself asking if its possible to actually "love" a robot but in Wall-E it is actually possible. It is initially an alien notion but you find yourself warming to him when you gradually discover you indeed share many of the same affections and traits. His dance routine with the hubcap, the way he tried on the bra, keeping the box and throwing the diamond ring away and the way he grasped at his metallic appendages while watching the old VHS being notable examples. Scenes involving Wall-E's complete selflessness are tear jerking and you cant help but feel for the little guy when, having been rescued from deep space ejection, he crawls, mangled and critically damaged, to retrieve the plant that the future of the human race depends on. Handing it to EVE, he says "Dirrr...ect..ive" and at that moment the only "directive" in your subconscious is to burst out crying. Even more upsetting was the sad realisation that having been repaired and rebooted by EVE upon return to earth, Wall-E seemed never to be himself again, his memory apparently having been erased. An electronic kiss from EVE restores his memory and finally we, onscreen cast included, all breathe a sigh of relief. Without drawbacks as such to comment on, the only "drawback" I can see is that there are actually people out there who didnt love this film to bits. Those in this category need to ask themselves some very hard questions indeed! A+… Expand
