    A lot of people seem to share my opinion about how incredible this film was. I personally feel that this may be the best film I've ever seen. I don't see this as bashing any one group of people based on their weight (...and I love that one person commented on how this movie would offend "fat people". Don't you think that some people might find that label offensive?). It does raise some important questions about the amount of time that we spend in front of our computer/screens these days, the lack of time that we spend playing outdoors and interacting with others face to face, and the nature of the "corporate beasts" that rule the retail market. More importantly, it's got great music, amazing graphics, and is truly endearing and hilarious. Watch this movie. And then go for a walk with family or friends. Expand

    WALL-E is a standout for all the reasons mentioned, plus one further. I quibble with the idea that it is not suitable for younger kids. No, they aren't going to get all of the 2001-Silent Running references that all the critics are going wild over at the age of 4, but there is plenty that is accessible to them now, and the rest will keep them coming back to it in later years with a greater and greater appreciation for the movie they enjoyed as a child. This is a movie kids can potentially never outgrow. Expand

    The rating the critics give this movie shows where movie reviews go wrong. Its rated as the 16th best movie of all time according to the Metacritic ratings! Its not a horrible movie but could only be seen as slightly amusing and is not in the same class as other wonderful animated movies like the Lion King, Toy Story etc. I have never had so many moralistic politically correct messages so bluntly stuffed down my throat in one movie.

    WALL-E is probably their biggest gamble yet, but as always, Pixar pulls it off. There is virtually no dialogue for at least the first 15 minutes of the movie, yet the audience is suspended by the charm of a tiny little trash compacter, something that is unheard of in a modern kids movie (let alone a regular movie.) The film also contains an overt environmental message that probably wouldn't have been possible a few years ago. All in all, it's not Pixar's best, but it's still an enjoyable movie and a must see for the big screen because the visual environment is absolutely gorgeous. Expand

    "WALL-E" is a child's SF animation that can be simply called one of Pixar's most well made movies. The story is smooth and slick while pertaining a good appeal to the audience while containing witty humor and brazen dialogue. Its a definite must-watch! (PS: Don't litter, noobs)

    Started with a silly vision of environmentalist doom and went downhill from there. Technically impressive, of course, but where are the beautiful, imaginative, character-driven kids' films I used to take my chldren to? Seemed like 90 percent of the "dialogue" consisted of a monotonous,squeaky voice shouting "Wall-E! Wall-E! Wall-E!"

    The opening act had me transfixed with amazement. The cinematography and visual realization of an abandoned dystopian Earth will take your breath away. We see who is essentially a lonely child going about his futile, grinding routine, and his funny gags add an eerie resonance to the movie, as if he was trying to distract himself from pervasive loneliness. Sadly, after the plot starts moving and Wall Expand

    You know? I've never posted anything on a blog before in my life. But I walked out of that movie so perplexed at how Wall-e came across that I had to look up the reviews to see if I had missed something? Clearly they didn't produce this to be a big money maker. That's ok. It doesn't have to be. I liked Wall-e and the other darling robot. I loved the endearing emotions between the two but twice throughout the film I looked at my husband and asked, "What do you think the producer was thinking when he made this film?" I am a 49 year old Mother of older kids but totally enjoy children's movies. I saw the previews and was anxious to see this endearing little Wall-e. But that was about all that was endearing in the film. Exactly what I saw in the previews. That's it. An endearing little character without engaging music or scenes (except for a few). I'm shaking my head in amazement? Do they think I'm going to go home and tell my friends with children they got to go see this? Probably not happening. I just don't get how everyone is raving about this? Cute but personally I've never left a movie theater so perplexed in my life? Collapse

    The animation is beautiful. Would have made a good short but as a full length feature it's repetitive and boring. Some young children will have a hard time sitting through this one quietly. Once the dialogue begins the movie dies. Would have been better left as a love story and not the sophomoric moralistic tale it morphed into. It will however, end up looking glorious on blu ray.

    Hate the idea of the movie and the message that humans don't treat the earth right, pollute everywhere and allow ourselves to get lost in a digital world sitting in chairs. My kids thought it was boring!!!! Underlining message in the movie really ruined it for us.

    The first and last 10 minutes were good. The rest was a rehash of Robots, the Jetsons, Star Wars, and other space operas. The movie jumps the shark the moment when the dialog starts and we see the unwelcome preachy societal commentary that has nothing to do with the 'love' story. I rushed home and watched Ratatouille, relieved that Wall-E was at least preceded by some truly outstanding Pixar films. This one has nowhere near the multilevel appeal of the others. Expand

    So disappointed in this film after reading all the good press here. First 25 minutes are okay..then it descends into schmaltzy , corny rubbish. Worst kids movie I've seen in years. The " love " story between the robots is pathetic. My girlfriend is still giving me a hard time about dragging us to Wall-E.

    Goes to show that you don't need characters to speak in order to make a classic. I haven't seen a robot as adorable as Wall-E since R2-D2 in the Star Wars movies.

    The contrast between the landscape and life on Earth and The Axiom is overwhelmingly brilliant in a visual sense. The depiction of human life on the ship isn't forced like it so easily could've been. The sort of love story between the robots was also really fun to watch and provided a perfect back story for the front theme of the discovery that the captain was going through. It's different and brilliant in every sense Expand

    An astonishing film in every way. First half a mixture of sweet poetry and heart warming romance; second half, rough satire. All sweetened with optimism. Wall-E represents hope in a world that has lost touch with connections. The greatest of all great Pixar films. Here's hoping there's more like this.

    My friends can tell you I have an unhealthy habit of bringing up WALL-E in almost every conversation. Words cannot even begin to describe my love for this movie. It's a heart warming, life-appreciating, gem of a movie. Take a civilization that has never heard about what Earth is and what its people do and I bet you they would be amazed. WALL-E finds a way to show us a society just like that and at the same time give us a new perspective on the little things that we have. If you haven't seen WALL-E yet, go see it now. If you just can't seem to see past the idea of a robot love story, you might want to try and unscrew the blots tightly placed in your head. Expand

    I thought the movie was great. Very well done and suitable for all ages. I have heard some people say that they were offended that the movie made fun of "fat" people. There was nothing that pointed fingers at that. Just the mere fact that thousands of years from now if we are not active and have machines do everything for us then we aren't getting exercise. So anyone who is reading the comments, ignore the bad reviews. the movie was great and I guarantee you and children of all ages will enjoy it. :) Expand

    Took the whole family to see this movie last night and we absolutely loved it. The kids (10, 4, 2) sat mesmorized - even though there was little dialogue for the first 30 minutes. Let me just say there is a lot of prognostication in the reviews about whether children will love this movie as much as adults, and I can say without a doubt YES. This is a family movie. To all of you out there without any kids who offer opinions about kids not liking this - SHUT-UP. You don't know what the heck you're talking about. Expand

    The core of this movie was a love story, which is highly dependent on character and chemistry. This movie had neither. Previous Pixar films had three-dimensional, well-rounded characters like Woody and Buzz, but I just didn't get that from these robots. Of course the writers made their job more difficult by not using any dialog. As for chemistry, for WALL-E they gave absolutely no reason for falling in love other than "love-at-first-sight," despite the fact that his love interest was an emotionless (and in the beginning sex-neutral) probe interested only in carrying out its mission, and blowing everything else up. The writers also gave EVE very little reason to come around to WALL-E. Finally, we have the whole problem of accepting a love affair between two machines. If this movie was presented solely as a fantasy (like most of Pixar's movies) than we can accept human emotions from anything. In a fantasy its fine if a toaster falls in love with a rock (or a toy befriends a toy). But I felt this movie presented itself more as science fiction. In that context, you want your robots to make sense. If EVE and WALL-E were suppose to be highly complex robots with brains approaching those of humans (e.g. in I, Robot) than maybe we can accept some emotion from them. But one was a trash compactor, and the other a probe. Why is a trash compactor scared? lonely? happy? It doesn't make sense. Sure the animation was brilliant, but if I couldn't buy into the love story aspect of this film, everything else falls flat. Expand

    it was a horribly boring movie. There was virtually no plot, no depth and nothing really happened either. The characters are shallow. The visuals were nice in the first 5 minutes, but then nothing interesting and new came up. Those who've seen asian CG Animation know what real virtual beauty looks like. I feel betrayed by the positive reviews. I went with two friends and we all agreed it was one of the most boring movies we'd ever seen. Expand

    I had the highest of expectations for this film, since Stanton had done Nemo. All of the prior Pixar blockbusters have been structured around one or more main characters dealing with personal challenges and overcoming adversity with the help or resistance of other complex characters. The locations and details were the variations on the theme. The plots were complex, highly textured and detailed, and always had an abundance of the 'wow' factor. Ratatouille is the most spectacular example of Pixar's perfecting of paying attention to every detail. Now comes Wall-E which deviates from all these prior standards except for some of the starting animation, and regresses back to an earlier era of animation such as 2-dimensional when the Barcalounger scenes kick in. It also drops its successful formula of the brilliant ensemble pieces with compelling characters, to constructing a left-leaning political manifesto overlaid with a bland romance between a couple of droids who can do slapstick and vaudeville. Those raters giving this film a 10 have clearly not paid much attention to the detail of its predecessors, but are jumping on the political bandwagon which is admirable if you're attending An Inconvenient Truth. But it is completely out of Pixar character and a betrayal of the public's expectations to sneak an unamusing, pompous, boring political message into what should have been a true-to-form Pixar film. Those that rated Wall-E a 10 not only seem to agree in general with its political message, but they actually think this tripe belongs and FITS within a Pixar film. Rather, it destroyed the pacing and the film. These ratings and commentaries are reminiscent of positions taken during the recent election. Expand

    I gave it a 2, as a protest against all the reviewers, et al, who were going ga-ga over it. Ga-ga is the level of the language of the movie. "WALL-E." "Eve-a." "WALL-E." 'Eve-A." And don't tell me it's like Charlie Chaplin. Comparing WALL-E to Chaplin is like comparing GW to Abe Lincoln. And any movie that uses romantic scenes and dance scenes from the mediocre movie Hello, Dolly! (and doesn't even include Barbra) is suspect. WALL-E is surprisingly trite -- music from 2001? That's fresh. It's just been used ad nauseum. And Sigourney Weaver voicing the ship's computer is just coy. WALL-E, can you say overrated? Expand

    WALL-E is one my favorite animated films and the best Pixar film since Toy Story. WALL-E is the greatest robot that I always trust. I love the setting of the story and I love the way that they use the idea to put on this post-apocalyptic world,when WALL-E is all by himself for 700 years ago without no people in the earth. The robot seeks another robot named EVE,with the kind of gentle ways that she's looking for the plant to come back to earth. And they both have connection to each other and they both fell in love with the ways that people do,not other robots that they could fell in love. The music gets chills in my ears and the animation is so beautiful. I love this movie and it's a masterpiece of the best animated film of the 2000's! Expand

    WALL-E is a special kind of movie that is soaked in wit, a spirit of adventure and, rarest of all, sincerity. There is an innocent joy evident within this film of which theaters have not seen in quite some time. WALL-E's powerful first half involves little dialogue and though some may find it boring, the movie never loses sight of where its going and what it wants to be. The second half is more standard Pixar fare but is enhanced by the attachment we grow towards WALL-E early on in the movie. This movie does not try to dazzle us with special effects or perplex us with a complex plot. The animation, though amazing, and the plot, though interesting, never overtake the characters in terms of importance. Pixar' took two significant risks with this movie: taking a slow approach to the scenes on Earth and having a largely speechless main character. Both paid off handsomely making WALL-E an affecting and enthralling classic. Expand

    I don't know how, but on my first time watching it, I hated this movie. However, after having seen it again, and gotten past my ignorance, I can see that WALL-E is absolutely amazing. The surprising political motivation only makes this movie better. The main complaint will be the lack of dialogue for the first 20 or 30 minute. I will tell you, that makes absolutely no difference. Only over hyper people with ADD who can't sit still for more then 5 minutes without talking, or impatient people will dislike that. Knowing how fantastic the rest is, get past the no talking part if you want a great movie. A fantastic film that anyone who likes good movies will want to see. Expand

    It's not unusual for Pixar to make a movie that is unforgetable, flawlessly animated, and mind-blowingly beautiful; but WALL-E took Pixar awesomeness to a whole new level. Some people think that the movie is about "the dangers of consumerism", but Director Andrew Stanton himself said that the real main point of the movie is love, and WALL-E is one of the most powerful love stories you will ever see. The movie has really cute lovable characters, stunningly beautiful music by Thomas Newman and Peter Gabriel, subtle humor, and tons of heart, soul, and emotion expressed with very little dialogue. It may seem like a major stretch, but this movie is yet another home run for Pixar. Easily the best movie of 2008, the best movie of decade, and (in my opinion) the best movie of all time. I give this "LOVEL-E" masterpiece my highest recommendation. 10/10 (I would give it an 11 if I could). Expand

I'll leave the wonderful story from there. This film proves that humans aren't the only things with feelings, and it shows it in an awesome way. The movie gives plenty of laughs.

While there are many classics, Wall-E directed Andrew Stanton is inredible. For those with a great attention span, there will be magic, and curiousity. This movie is fantastic for all ages. For a deeper diagnosis, it is filled with longing as Wall-E wants to be with Eve, and it shows through his motions. Incredible. This film is a classic in my book. It deserves it. A- Expand

    I really enjoyed the first part of the movie. It started out with a very interesting premise, made a robot seem human, and made a cockroach sympathetic. The movie started downhill for me with the arrival of the second major character. By the time the action had moved to a luxury ship in space, it had gone from a cool PIXAR movie to an old Disney chase movie. Maybe I missed something, but I don't understand how this movie is getting rated at levels equal to or higher than Toy Story, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, etc. It did not do it for me. Expand

    I really loved this film and once again PIXAR really delivered. I felt that the lack of dialogue made you pay far more attention to the characters and their situation. Also the simple gesture of Wall E wanting to hold Eve's hand was heartwarming and would have been missed had there been dialogue. So many people on this site are calling the film preachy and yacking on about the environment. They are all WRONG. The director distinctly said when interviewed that this film had nothing to do with the environment or politics, he was just making a film. Expand

    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

    The people giving in extremely low scores are simply doing so because the message behind the film does not agree with their political ideology. I see a lot of ad hominem attacks against Disney. This movie is not nearly as heavy-handed or mean spirited as people would have you believe, and you would be doing yourself a disservice as a moviegoer by missing it.

    This movie is not funny and you should be prepared that your children will be subjected to a sermon. The message is the same old stuff - environment, corporations, fat people, etc. You have heard it before. It is beautifully done technically but - think about it. It recycles Star Wars.

    An animation masterpiece!!! Loved the scenarios, loved the music, loved the story. But above all this I simply loved the main character, Wall-e is easily one of the cutest and much touching characters ever made. Unbelievable the way they gave a soul to an animated and silent robot.

    Instant classic! I came into this movie thinking it was going to be cool, but not as cool as it was. It blew me away! I was laughing so hard, taken by surprise the whole thing. Very funny, very creative, extremely interesting... instant classic! I'm buying this 1 twice on DVD. 1 for me, and 1 for my nephew! SEE IT!!

    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

    Wall-E is the best movie I've seen in a while. I was continually moved and emotionally engaged the entire time. Wall-E brings some of the most human characters to life in their little robots. I see more emotion in Wall-e's face than most Hollywood actors today.

    The finest film of 2008. Admittedly, 2008 has been dreadful so far, but that doesn't take away an inch from this film's power, passion, and truest heart. Not only is this a great animated film, it is a classic for all time. 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

    I went to see WALL-E with my parents and younger sisters, fully expecting to have to sit through another occasionally funny, but overall forgettable flick (as are the feeling of every parent and sibling who sat through Shrek 3). I left, however, with the sense that I had just seen something absolutely gorgeous. 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. Appealing to all ages--as either cute romance between two robots or a message to humanity--WALL-E will live on, not only as an epic film but as a wonderful childhood family of my own. Expand

    I liked the movie a lot. I think the movie has lots of subtle and not so subtle messages for us as humans and our responsiblity towards this planet of ours. It has been very intelligently made with all these underlying themes and presented to the viewers brilliantly. The only drawback is that it was a tad slow and predictable towards the end.

    I find the negative reviews on this site laughable. People are obsessed with the story, or what they call the irritating voices, or the fact that there isn't an enormous plot. All I can say is, anyone who was bored by this film or thought it was some leftist rant on pollution entirely missed the point. This film is all about feeling and emotion. It flows at parts like an opera, at others like one of the old Roadrunner/Coyote Chuck Jones shorts. In fairness, those who obsess over the film's social commentary are similarly short-sighted. Sociopolitical overtones aside, everything, from top to bottom, works in this film. Anyone who thinks "Finding Nemo" was great but can't stomach this movie should just go back and watch the second "Matrix" film; movies of actual substance just aren't for you. Expand

    Breathtaking beauty and touching throughout the film, I found that this movie seemed to hide a kind of political message that kids might not appreciate as well as adults...I felt that it held a kind of depth that is rarely seen in children's movies, while still managing to be heart-warming to everyone. It's a bizarre mix, but it works! My only problem with it was the fact that certain scenes dragged on in a dull way...but always managed to pick up. Expand

    Beautifully shot. Top notch animation and imagination went into this film. 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

    This is a masterpiece. Pixars crowning achievement. Those who didn't get this are your typical present day lazy moviegoers who want nothing but wall to wall flash and explosions in their movies. If you're the type of moviegoer who finds engaging a movie in thought and introspection, and you prefer just sitting down with your mouths wide open and expect or demand the movie to spoonfeed you everything, then this film is most definitely NOT for you.

    The movie was an amazing achievement. Pixar manages to evoke more emotion from these robots than most actors. The story was perfect, and animation so good it disappeared, and the plot very well written. There is no excuse to not see this movie, and I can't think of any excuse not to love it either.

    For the first time in me life, a movie has truly made me smile from beginning to end. Wall-E is an original and gripping movie that will leave you speechless. The visuals are unmatched, with landscapes that will drop your jaw, at the very least. The expressiveness of the two main characters is unmatched, as Pixar is able to craft extremely complex characters, without using any major dialogue. The movie is very imaginative, and at the same time the universe is so complete, filled with characters and places both charming and surprisingly witty. I wont get into plot spoilers, but I'll just tell you that you must see this movie. You wont regret it. Expand

    The movie was very preachy and insulting on many levels. The biologically and scientifically impossibilities kept me from true involvement. There were a few moments of anthropomorphic tenderness and the animation was proficient but the movie does not deserve such effusive praise.

    The first hour of Wall-E is a crazily inventive, deliriously engaging and almost wordless silent comedy of the sort that Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton used to make.

    Put simply, WALL-E is about as charming as movies get.
  3. Mixing Chaplinesque delicacy with the architectural grandeur of a Stanley Kubrick film, director Andrew Stanton recycles film history and makes something fresh and accessible from it without pandering to a young audience.
