    I've always been a fan of the Pixar films but this easily surpassed my expectations. The characters all had personality and really came to life. It was also, as usual for a pixar film, expertly rendered.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Despite not having dialogue for the first have of the movie, the characters in Wall-E are so rich that they feel the most life-like out of any character created by Pixar. A film not only for the younger audience but also for those young adults-adults looking for a great movie experience.

    Wall-E is a prime example of what makes great movies great. No need to explain; just go see it. Tonight. Then go see it again. It has some flaws, like all films, but the pluses outweigh the minuses to such a degree that they can be ignored.

Wall-E doesn't make those points to offend anybody. The points are made to show that we can change our ways for brighter future no matter what the circumstances are.

    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, 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 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

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.… Collapse

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 had to write this after reading Conrad B.'s review. He is either suffering from weight issues or more likely, just doesn't get the fact that this is a MOVIE! If over weight people are offended then tough! Is it ok to make a film such as the Godfather trilogy without offending Italian Americans? Cinema is at it's best, an art form. So deal with it. Easily the best movie I've seen since Lost in Translation. But better. Some have complained that the silent picture start is better than the rest of the film, but consider how the two leads desires and motives affect the story while firmly being rooted in thei own motives. Brilliant. Not since Chaplin has a film been so pitch perfect in making a statement and touching hearts. This is the kind of film (art piece) that changes the world in it's wake.… Expand

    Best movie of 2008 will go to Wall-E or The Dark Knight. This was an awesome movie because of the cuteness of each and every character. Wall-E and Eve are so cutely portrayed that you wish you can have them. The animation is amazing and the story is heartwarming. Users rating Wall-E are emphasizing the fact that the humans in the movie are fat. I conclude that they're f4ggots. I would think that it is obvious that during 700 years of generations and generations, if all people do is eat and sit, of course everyone would become obese. The message in Wall-E is clear and addresses modern day problems. We need to put an end to global warming and obesity needs to be solved. We need to remember that the Earth is our home and that at this rate, humans cannot coexist with Mother Nature. Wall-E is truly a splendid film. If you do not think the movie is good, it's fine.

    This is a gorgeous movie, transfixing from beginning to end. The animation at the beginning is awe-inspiring and the story is cute, but serious enough to get the point through. I understand some kids not finding it to be their cup of tea, not privy to many of the clever references and jokes, but I think to thoroughly dislike this film one would have to be heartless, blind, and entirely miss the point. I think that those complaining about the lack of dialogue should consider expanding their tastes (and maybe think about WHY there is little dialogue, other than the fact they are robots), and those who say it is preachy are probably reacting to some deep guilt they harbour with regards to their own day to day practices.… Expand

    After reading these reviews I think it's funny how a lot of adults said they thought it would be too much for kids to understand. That just goes to prove a lot of adults think kids are just plain stupid. I sat next to a 5-year-old and he was completely mesmerized throughout the whole movie. He may not have been outright laughing but he followed the story and at the end he turned to his mother and said, so we turn out alright? That to me signaled he understood the plot and was left with a feeling of hope. While kids may not "get" every joke, I think the movie has a message that any kid can follow and be entertained by and those adults who think kids don't understand are underestimating them.

    Best movie of the year so far. Pixar obviously is letting their hair down and having fun with the medium they basically created. As far as social commentary, it's a flippin' science fiction cartoon! Sure, Man lost his way. Sure, the Earth was ruined. In the end though, both parties benefited in a positive way. How dare anyone say that Pixar decided to make fun of fat people! Let's face it, anyone offended may have a bit of a problem themselves with the hand to mouth exercise that we call overindulgence. 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! Eve was cute too!… Expand

    Fantastic movie. I rarely come to tears, but this one sent me over the edge several times. For those offended by the movie's message concerning fat people: Get over yourself. You would have to be severely thick to find this movie offensive. It in no way set out to ridicule fat people, it was ridiculing lazy people. People can be overweight and still be healthy, active, and happy with themselves. This movie does not ridicule these people. Rather it lampoons LAZY people who become fat due to inactivity and an obsession with quick and easy food, media, and life in general. It also sends an important message concerning how the increasingly lethargic attitudes of our society will ultimately be our downfall in protecting our planet. This movie deserves not only the best animated film award, but the best picture award.… Expand

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

    I don't think the fact that the people were fat was being commented on per se. I think that the people had become so disassociated with one another and that they were so unwilling to do anything was a focus of the film. The people weren't fat from over eating. They were deformed (bone loss and unable to walk) from being lazy. And fatness didn't lead to the planet's distruction in the movie, laziness did. Oh, and I don't think the joke was that they were fat. I don't think it was even meant to be traditionally funny that they were fat.

    It's been a long time since I've been so moved by a film. Not to mention an animated film, about robots. The message is powerful, the characters utterly endearing, and the love story heartwarming. Woot, huzzah and three cheers for Pixar!

    WALL-E was a wholly visual masterpiece. Its design was awe inspiring and was only superseded by its depth of character and unsurpassed heart.

    I can't believe people are warning others to: 'be prepared that there is no human dialogue for the first 40 minutes'. How can THAT be a bad thing these days?

    this is a whole next step for pixar, they moves into another realm of story telling with this gem. the scenes with eve and walle and simply phenomenal. The sound effects/ voice actors did really well with these two. I swear I positively swoon every time I hear EVE! I love how they incorperated live action. One thing I'd like to see however, is Pixar push the look and animation of human characters further, something more than the rubber-cutsie-caricatures that they've been doing since monsters inc. Other than that, absolutely perfect, this touched me and was far more enjoyable than Batman TDK. Pixar's proven themselves once again to be the industry leader in cg movies, setting new standards with every release!… Expand

    Beautiful, engaging, heartwarming. This is honestly the best animated film I have ever seen. Frankly, anyone who doesn't enjoy this movie must be utterly dead inside, or at least between their ears. Every twist and every turn will hold you spellbound. I don't want to give the plot away at all, because this movie is honestly best experienced unspoiled. What I WILL say is that both halves of this masterpiece will keep you hooked in their own special ways. 10/10. Nothing less.… Expand

    Words fail me. I've never seen something so adorabe that my only reaction was to cry like a big blubbering idiot. Wall-e may speak differently to anyone but for me, it was almost perfect. No, it WAS perfect.

    I hope people saying 'Wall-E is hypocritical because it's saying big corporations are bad but there are lots of Wall-E toys.' know that Pixar makes the movie and has nothing to do with the marketing. Only disney does. Anyway, this is easily tied for the best movie of the year in my book. It's message is obvious, but it's told in a moving, never before done way. The 2 main characters have an extraordinarily engrossing romance, and their total dialouge has about 4 different words total. The first half of the film is nearly dialouge-less. It uses its wonderous visuals to share its story. But whent the dialouge does come in, the story doesn't get any less intruiging and the visuals are even more involving. It's a film that has aspects most summer blockbusters have, but this doesn't make it any less fascinating or loveable.… Expand

    Remember Skinner's face when he tries Remy's ratatouille in 'Ratatouille'? He tries sooooo hard to hate it but we knew that he loved it. That's what exactly Wall-E's haters face looked like when they see Wall-E. They try so hard to hate it (simply because they're Pixar hater, or Batman fanboy, or another Pixar's rival employee) while in their heart they loved it so much. I cannot be more sad with those pathetic people. Seriously though, this is one of the best Science Fiction ever delivered to our silver screen. If you give this movie 0 grade, I could simply say that the rest movie of the year before Wall-E are in the minus range.… Expand

    An amazing film, an amalgama of silent cinema of the early 1900 with a twist of the New millennium plus it puts you into thinking and makes fun of the overconsuming world we re living in, especially in the USA. Promotion of "apple products" through the movie (see ipod and EVA's design) doesn't gives me any hard feelings. Believe one of the classics already!

    We took our son to see this as his first movie trip (he was 2.5 at the time) some 6 months after the first teaser trailer. 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

    The best animation movie ever...undoubtedly. At first I was confused and doubted whether this actually is a Disney movie but this movie has shown that animation move you just like any other genre.

    I loved Wall-E for its social commentary, technical genius, and offer of hope. I'm usually resistant to animated films but had to give this one a chance because it was SO well received by critics I trust. This is a film that has wide appeal for audiences of all ages and cultures because it is so filled with humanity. Adults in Western society will be the most disturbed by its chilling portrayal of a trashed Earth that is uninhabitable by living organisms. Reminiscent of the apocalyptic foreboding in films depicting the aftermath of nuclear war, Wall-E is a cautionary tale for our time. Humans have degenerated into non-ambulatory appendages of a virtual world in which they have no connection with each other or with their immediate physical surroundings. Wall-E is lonely and the arrival of Eve on Earth to scout for life forms transforms him and his desolate existance. This film offers hope at the same time it reminds us of what we stand to lose should we continue to self-destruct. The film is marvelously executed with captivating and beautiful imagry. I absolutely loved it - Go Pixar!… Expand

    This is probably the best Pixar movie I've ever seen. It is really amazing how they manage to pull such a weird idea off so well. A Lot of the complaints about the movie are about their being very little dialogue......well the movies about robots that dont talk. And it still rocks. The movie works out just fine without it and is one of the best movies ive seen so far this year.

    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.

    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.
