Liam Lacey

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. Read full review

David Edelstein

The new Pixar picture Wall-E is one for the ages, a masterpiece to be savored before or after the end of the world. Read full review

Joe Morgenstern

The first half hour of WALL-E is essentially wordless, and left me speechless. This magnificent animated feature from Pixar starts on such a high plane of aspiration, and achievement, that you wonder whether the wonder can be sustained. But yes, it can. Read full review

Kenneth Turan

Daring and traditional, groundbreaking and familiar, apocalyptic and sentimental, Wall-E gains strength from embracing contradictions that would destroy other films. Read full review

Bob Mondello

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. Read full review

James Berardinelli

Put simply, WALL-E is about as charming as movies get. Read full review

Stephanie Zacharek

The picture feels weirdly, and disappointingly, disjointed, something that starts out as poetry and ends as product. Read full review

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

Absolutely an incredible film. The visuals were stunning, the storyline was adorable, and there was even a noble, pertinent underlying message. Pixar has brought more life to two animated robots than I have seen some actors bring to live-action characters. Amazing movie.

With enough lovable characters and thoughtful storylines, combined with an exuberant computer animation, "Wall-E" manages to be more than an average kiddies movie. Well done, Pixar! Well done!

The pushy environmental message and the weaker second half can feel like a slog, but it's the rest that more than makes up for it. Great experience overall.

The fart noises and the sexually suggested messages wasn't my thing. Who are you catering to: little kids or socially retarded adults?
