Saw this yesterday. 2nd favorite Pixar movie, now (The Incredibles is first). Very different and original story. Very enjoyable and loved the short before the movie.

Saw this today (movie weekend). Very good movie with great visuals. Not up to Wall-E, but very good in its own rite. Highly recommended.

WALL-E, as almost all Pixar movies, is awesome. I'd say it's among their better efforts, which is saying something.

????????????? Kung-Fu Panda was much more enjoyable than Wall-E. It was hilarious.
Wall-E has Pixar gone the liberal route in my mind. Way to much 'message' etc. not enough dialogue and I almost fell asleep prior to FINALLY getting to the space ship. They need to stick with entertainment.

Did the take on overweight people who sit in front of a monitor all day offend you?

I really enjoyed WallE, I thought it was a great animated movie. Bottom line: I thought it was cute enough and had great visuals to keep the kids entertained, but it clearly had some sharp satire and commentary for adults about consumerism and laziness.

You know what pissed me off? That movie Mississippi Burning. If you ask me, there was a real liberal slant to that movie. It's as if they were trying to tell you that racism, bigotry, and lynching were bad things.

Wall-E was incredible. I think i'd put it #2 behind Finding Nemo.
The visuals were just gorgeous. Not a lot of dialogue but I didn't mind. I liked the story too. Predictable, but it's good that they are trying these adult themes and morals.
The short in the beginning was awesome too.
Pixar is just amazing.

I want a letter sent home in schools before they show that trash so I can pull my kids out.
How dare they think there is anything wrong with 'merica. Excuse me, I have to go polish my "Love it or Leave It" front license plate.

I just saw Wall-E yesterday. It was good but not as good as any of the previous Pixar movies in my opinion. Too much message and not enough action or dialogue. |
Is this legit, or just some fan's wishful thinking?

No, saw it and I honestly thought it was crap. My 2 kids, one 4 and one that is 7 didn't really enjoy it either. We all have different tastes, but for a kids movie, not really for kids, IMHO.

I really thought it was a good movie, went and watched it today. I enjoyed how 'different' it was...almost a silent movie. And the animation was just incredible in my opinion.

I'm glad to hear it's not as good as Wall-E, I wanted to see it tonight but got vetoed in favor of Kung Fu Panda. Although that ended up being pretty damn funny too.
It was weird watching a movie with kids around. I hadn't realized how long it's been since that happened. They didn't even laugh at all the really funny parts 
I'll see Wall-E this week, I've wanted to see it since I saw the previews in the theater, and that rarely happens with me.

You will like WALL*E. It's a pretty well-written movie and really cute.
If you wait until THE DARK KNIGHT comes out and see it then, you won't have many folks in the theater with you. I doubt you have plans to see TDK.

TS3 is legit. Cars 2 is in pre-production, but you never know if it will make it all the way.

Yeah between me being intrigued by previews and it getting great reviews, I have high hopes. Plus I love animals/inanimate objects that talk . Definitely catching it this week though (don't know when TDK comes out), I know a lot of people who want to see it soon too.

You're TV must be out and you must have had a blindfold when you walked to the theater to see Kung-Fu Panda 
July 18 and it looks even better than Batman Begins
