Great story, great characters, great non-dialogue. Most film companies wouldn't touch a story like this with a 10 foot pole. Not because it tackles about 5 controversial topics (pervasive obesity, negative effects of capitalism, corporations running the government, rampant consumerism, and non-gender based relationships) but because it tries to do with with such a bleak backdrop, unsnuggly characters, and no definitive bad guy. Great work PIXAR!… Expand

I just can't belive the negative comments, magical in everyway from start to finish. Might not be for kids but for adults it's a treat and a must see!

An unmitigated flop. I'm a big Pixar fan. Toy Story was pure genius. This one is a disturbingly bad bore. Pointless, yet obtusely preachy. Kind of like, while facing a difficult situation, running around yelling, "Do something!" Animation was great in places but uneven. Eve looks like she was dragged in from another movie concept. Sad to say, but it may be time to sell the Disney stock. A bust of epic proportions. Can someone tell me why this movie was made? Never heard a laugh from the audience. Not even a chuckle. The crowd simply stared at the screen. I swear I heard snoring.… Expand

One of the best films I've seen in years, very impressive. Awesome animation. Its a story that can be enjoyed by children and adults.

The references to Manhattan, 2001, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest were amazing.

Another 100% score for Pixar. Fantastic kid and adult movie - nailing it again to perfectly entertain at both levels. My 5 and 6 year old kids laughed and so did we. Not too much suspense which my sensitive kids are not a fan of. Complex yet simple story line and the graphics were stunning enough to keep my disbelief suspended from the animation!

This movie changed my life.

What made this movie so great was that it wasn't just about a lonely robot looking for love. It was also about a driod's struggle between duty and her emotions, the man who wanted to live life, the devastation on the environment that could happen in the future, the emotionless robot who would follow orders even if it was wrong, and human-dependecy in the future. The story of WALL-E proves to be more orginal than a father clownfish trying to search for his son, the rat that wanted to cook, and the car that learned good values. Also, there was great sound mixing by Ben Brutt. There was visuals as artistic as Finding Nemo. I wouldn't count on it but... watching WALL-E marks the first time I believe an animated film deserves an oscar for Best Picture.… Expand

A great movie. Not as good as The Incredibles, but pretty darn close. I don't see how kids would like it at all, but that's a good thing in my mind.

This movie is really good because it show all human beings that if we do not focus on our waste issue, Earth will end up like in the movie.

This is interesting movie.

Just because it is rated G does not mean that it is for children. There is just no violence, suggestive themes, or anything of that matter. Just a brilliant, clean movie. I am a 17 year old guy and this movie still wrenched my heart till the very end. The animation is the best there is so far, and while the the love part of the plot was a tad cheesy...it was necessary and great. The movie is so convincing that earth will become of what is portrayed that it scared me the night after I watched it, thinking "this is might actually happen in 750 years." Doubt any other movie will top this in 2008.… Expand

This has become my favorite movie of all time. I'm not joking. I'm not caught up in the heat of the moment. It is absolutely the best movie of all time. Right above Transformers 2007, and that right above BTTF Part II.

Maybe the best animated I've ever seen. It's impossible not to get charmed with these couple of robots, and a heart difficult to find in any other movie.

One of the most brilliant masterpieces to hit the big screen in years. Only those with a dull mind and strong lack of sense of beauty would find Wall-E anything short of perfect.

computer animation is passable, but story is tepid, awful. Is this the best they can do? Pixar must be paying for all these four star review.

For me, this is the best film I've ever seen. It's a boy meets girl story, with surprisingly little dialogue, with a superb blend of comedy, action and adventure, with a message for people of today buried under all the amusing animations. For me, its a perfect 10, because its a perfect blend of story-telling, future-prediction, romance, action and adventure. I cannot rate this film highly enough... (..No seriously, they only go up to 10 here! :) )… Expand

Loved it. One of my favorite Pixar movies, and may after time surpass Finding Nemo (but not the almighty Toy Story). Excellent. And John: Those people that you refer to- you know, the ones that Pixar paid- those would be called actors, producers, directors, etc. They are the reason this movie has the acclaim it has, not bribed journalists. It deserves it.

Terrible overrated movie. I mean it's extremely bad, but the reviews really make me lose my faith in modern cinematography.

This movie was incredible. It was definitely the best movie of the summer. The animation work was mind-blowing, the plot was touching and paced perfectly. Pixar gives us another masterpiece.

Amazing Movie! The only reason why some people dont like it is because it has no violence and/or cool action. I mean what do expect it is a movie meant for kids; its rated G and it is really artistic!

It's frustrating to see comments like that of "D.C." The only thing that was bad about "The Dark Knight" is that it created an overwhelming swarm of goons like this fellow who feel the need to compare it to every stinkin' movie that gets a good review. What a chump. Getting back to what this page is for, "Wall-E" was a great film. It did everything perfectly: comedy, romance, drama, satire, and action. No other film this summer can say that.… Expand

Great animation but that's it, did like the story at all.

Doesn't get much better. A film filled with heart...and hope.

I must say, I am always astounded by the quality of Pizar's movies. From the stellar, breathtaking visuals to the amazing stories. Seriously, it seems like Pixar is one of the only companies that actually knows how to tell a great story and focuses on that, rather than Dreamworks, who just relies on quick, superficial laughs to carry its own horrendous weight (although they have come out with some masterpieces despite themselves). I had extremely high expectations for this movie, and so I was worried I would be disappointed, but this movie exceeded my wildest dreams. The characters are instantly lovable, the story is fascinating, and the movie itself is so beautifully moving, one cannot but help call it a masterpiece. Those who gave this movie a 7 or lower are out of their simple minds.… Expand

Worst Pixar movie yet. Boring. People who give this a 10 need to get out more.

An adventure, romance story, and part-slapstick comedy packed into one expertly animated, outstanding movie that will capture your heart.

Beautifully rendered animation and a story line that is unexpected. The visual and philosophical references to Kubrick abound, and I came away from the film feeling like I had seen the half brother of the Kubrick/Spielberg project "A.I." I imagine that this film will look stunning on Blu-ray in a few months. I still think Pixar and Stanton have the perfect film up their sleeves on the horizon, but Wall-E is the best I've seen in this particular genre.… Expand

Poetry in form of a Disney Movie.

Theres nothing funny about this animation flix. It was boring from begining to end, I actually fell asleep 3 times, even the kids who were there though it was lousy. I'm sure theres some kind of subliminal message or moral to the story but, It could have been more entertaining, this movie is up there with one of the worst movies I have ever seen..... PS the animation is great the story is way too long and boring... expect 2 hours of silence and 15 minutes of total dialogue. save your money!!!… Expand

Nowhere near deserving of the high praise that it seems to be receiving. This movie has WAAAaaaayyy too much preaching - love the environment, say no to laziness, get exercise, say no to bigbox stores, etc.. the list goes on... and on... and on... I wouldn't want my kids watching this movie and learning that obsession = love. If you ask me, Wall-E is a little desperate.

In one of those little ironies that life sometimes seems to consist of nothing but, this was released to theaters nationwide just a few days after the American Film Institute's "10 Best of 10" TV special, in which the AFI listed what its members thought to be the ten best English-language film examples of each of ten different genres. It's a no-brainer that Pixar's latest, a futuristic tale of a scruffy little trash-collecting robot left behind on earth to do its job long after all the human residents left, who falls in love with a sleeker model, would've been a strong Top 10 contender in both the Animation and Science Fiction genres, but consider the AFI's #1 choice for Best Romantic Comedy: City Lights, the 1931 Charlie Chaplin film that Chaplin resolutely made as a silent even after silent movies had gone the way of the passenger pigeon. Well, WALL-E (the first two thirds, anyway) is PRACTICALLY a silent: there's no real dialogue since WALL-E's and EVE's conversations consist entirely of whirrs, clicks, beeps and the repitition of their own and each other's names, but that's all you need--if WALL-E's pursuit of EVE doesn't steal your heart, then ANY famous screen robot--say, Robby or Gort--has more of one than you do. It goes without saying that Pixar keeps raising the bar (and, bless 'em, has caused rival animation studios to up THEIR games: DreamWorks' Kung Fu Panda and Blue Sky's Horton Hears A Who! represent their best efforts yet) but who would've guessed that the visuals of our deserted planet so effortlessly blend live-action and animation art, or at least that's what I THINK they do, that Robert Zemeckis, who's been trying hard for a similar effect with both The Polar Express and Beowulf, must've been in the theater feverishly taking notes during repeated viewings, or that WALL-E would replicate and enhance so many of Stanley Kubrick's themes and ideas, while adding in abundance the one quality that Kubrick completely lacks (except in Spartacus, which he disowned): warmth? The first two acts of WALL-E are so extraordinary that the final third, in which WALL-E and EVE learn where the earthlings went (and we get treated to The Obligatory John Ratzenberger Pixar Vocal Appearance) is inevitably going to be something of a letdown, and indeed it's just a bit too preachy and on-the-nose for me to completely wrap myself around it, but even here it's hard not to admire writer-director Andrew Stanton's utter chutzpah. His critique of a spoiled and overly-indulged consumerist society is pretty hard to resist, especially given that Pixar and Disney are themselves huge corporations relying on huge DVD and video-game sales of films like WALL-E, whose partial message is, "Hey, you kids, turn off that damn TV/computer and go outside and get some exercise!" And I love the way that WALL-E's depiction of "Buy-N-Large" is no doubt causing blood pressures to rise in the boardrooms of a certain mega-concern, who can certainly refuse to sell Robert Greenwald's documentary Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price but knows that boycotting DVDs of THIS movie would be absolute financial stupidity, even if most first graders in the audience have no problem making certain connections. One more note concerning the title character and hero: a few years ago I commented on this site that one of the many problems with Blue Sky's Robots was that it's impossible to make sharp-edged, metallic, non-furry creatures (or, more accurately, creations) cuddly and lovable. It takes a big man to admit he's wrong. Call me big.… Expand

Great animation !

I know I put a rating on this movie before (keep scrolling down) but it appears to me that some people cannot find out what the story uses: body language. It's excessive use of body language and minimal use of vocal acting is what makes this movie so popular and highly rated by critics. It's like watching a silent movie without the text. Observe the movie. Don't just watch it. If you cannot do this, then you might as well not watch the movie.… Expand

When I saw the preview I thought it looked horrible, and i was right. Pixar is usually a step ahead of other animated films, but this was downright bad. The whole movie was robots saying names in a funny way.The comedy in this film was so elementary, i couldn't help but laughing at how hard they were trying to make it funny, and how not funny it was. The only people who like this movie are either girls who think its "cute" or guys who think there cool for liking a Pixar film. Ratatoille is by far Pixars best film, this doesn't even come close.… Expand

I took my kids, It was cute. I was a bit bored. It seemed like there was liberal propaganda about "bad" WalMart, the need to recycle, and the importance of exercize.

A masterpiece! Pixars best by far. An animated film that surpasses the typical animation fare and even live-action fare. Emotional, funny, touching, and fun. A welcome reprieve from the nonsensical low-brow animated and live action films that inundates theaters nowadays. Those dissing this are of the minority. Anybody who has a willing heart will no doubt connect with the characters. This film is not for those people-adults and kids alike-with short attention spans, the type who needs wall to wall mindless and pointless crass humor and explosions to keep them entertained. Wall-E is a classic that will be remembered for years… Expand

Heartwarming, funny, and intelligent. This is one of those rare films that is a prime example of what the artform should aspire to be.

It was okay if you want to see a kid

The best, intelligent and profound movie I saw in the last years.

Another victory for Pixar. This one even supplies a message that can be understood by adults and children alike.

Me and my wife are senior citizens and rarely do we see films in theaters nowadays given the quality of films in recent memory. This film was astoundingly magnificent, and it's animated for goodness sake! This is a welcome reprieve from most movies-animated and live action-in recent memory. Who would've thought that this film will have the most heart and depth of all films released this year. Me and my wife left the theater with that feeling that we never thought we would ever feel again given the state of film nowadays. We left knowing a film has just touched us in ways no film we thought would ever achieve.… Expand

The most terrific, spectacular, heavenly masterpiece of all times!!!

Had this movies events not turned out as they did, I may never have been able to believe in love, ever again. Thats right, 2 animated robots, MADE ME CRY! Easily the best movie I've seen these past 5 years.

Apparently "character-driven" means "dialogue-driven" for some folks. Read Corliss' take on this magnificent film, along with The Dark Knight, easily the best of the year.

The pinnacle of Pixar's genius so far, WALL-E is both a poignant social commentary as well as an aesthetic cinematic masterpiece that will set the bar for animated films for years to come.

It was an ok movie, but definitely overrated. I don't know how this got such good reviews, because it really wasn't that good. the first half of it was excellent. The music and the 2 speechless characters were amazing to watch. But once the humans were introduced, it felt like a whole other movie that was boring compared to the first half.

Simply the best animated feature I've ever seen, and one of the best movies, period,I've ever seen. A combination of heart, soul, relevance - all wrapped up in the story of a little, lonely robot.

Such a good movie, there's no need to criticise it. Real issues are never really brought up in modern day movies, especially those aimed at a younger audience. It really made me think about it. The beginning part with no dialogue for such a long period was a work of art, i was gripped from the very beginning. I love the choice of music used it was really emotional. I managed to fall in love with the character of Wall-E and thought he was very cute! The film subtly has a lot more themes in it than realised at first and this is proof of it being a masterpiece. A great example for the show of love, loneliness, environmental issues and loyalty. LOVED IT.… Expand

I think that it is almost the worst film i have ever seen. It should be down there with bio dome in ratings. it was a little bit like a g rated I am Legend with retarded animations.

Very fun different than any of the other pixar films

Utterly charming and fabulous. The best complete character introduction (in less than 10 minutes) and the best rendering of "love at first sight" I've ever seen in a movie. Totally won my heart.

WALL-E is breathtaking, majestic, and heartbreaking; the closest thing to the last living being on earth. It is like seeing Charlie Chaplin inside of R2-D2. With his pet roach, the Twinkies (like to survive anything). And love projected on his one and only musical video. All WALL-E wants is someone to hold hands with, like they did in musicals.

A deep and enduring classic animation. One of the few movies this year, that lead me to ponder the human experience and what we've accomplished for good and bad.

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.

it is seriously over rated. its a nice cute movie, but it really isnt tht good. doesnt nearly compare to childrens movies like the toy story or nemo, or any of the recent good ones. wall-e was, in a nut shell, boring.

This is by far the best animated film I've seen to date. The folks at Pixar have done it again. Any movie that can start out the first 20 minutes or so without dialogue and keep it interesting and entertaining is worth watching. Also, it's quite a mastery to create emotions in characters who are mechanical devices devoid of any facial features. The attention to detail is excellent and the underlying story can be easily understood. This is a great film that can be enjoyed by adults and children alike. Good, clean fun with a great story to boot! Those who have given it a poor rating and have nothing but bad things to say about must be young men who admire nothing but violence, gore, sex and mindless stupidity coupled with no substance but special effects. They lack imagination and that's sad.… Expand

This movie is amazing, but for being such a heartwarming movie it is also incredibly depressing. Wall-E is on a desolate Earth, and the future sucks. A lot. Its beautiful, but due to the desolation is very dark. He's a very cute little robot, and he takes good care of his little collection of objects. Then he finds a pet cockroach and a pet plant and takes care of them as well, and finally, he meets the first other "real" character - EVE. The people at Pixar did a wonderful job making the robots look great and convey emotion, and the movie is a pretty good romance set in a pretty depressing future. I have to give it a perfect score because it is the pinnacle of movie-making and the best film of 2008. Its wonderful, touching, funny, heartwarming, and depressing, all in a rated G movie.… Expand

It was cute. I don't rmember ever really laughing. I guess I smiled a few times. All in all I thought it was boring. Sorry.

Anyone who didn't like this movie is probably one of those fat morons that this movie makes fun of.

Boring, preachy, redundant. Here is the whole script: "Wall-e. Wall-e? Waaaal-eeee!" "eve" *mechanical noises. A **** scuttling around* "waaaall-e." (pleading) "caution. Road robots. Caution. Road robots." "WWWAAALLL-E!" "ROAD ROBOTS." "EEEEV-A!" "Wall-e. Wall-e." Wall-e and Eve try to learn each others names in 3 different scenes for 20 minutes each. Wall-e has a pet **** because the earth has obviously suffered a nuclear holocaust and the fat lazy humans have moved to space where their oversized hover-rounds really do hover. Welcome to Wall-e, a movie about the environment & 2 asexual pieces of machinery that are supposed to be in love. But it's hard to relate to an E.T.- rip-off-on-wheels and a poorly personified spaceship-looking robot that flies conveniently through space. Thats about it. I can't believe how many people raved about it. And "wall-e" was uttered no less than 300 times, just saying.… Expand
