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

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 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

An Excellent movie! Heatwarming and touching than most recent live action movies in recent memory.

Heatwarming and touching than most recent live action movies in recent memory. As a matter of fact, it's as touching a love story in the history of cinema, and that's saying something since its ANIMATED ROBOTS. Those who say it didn't touch them are in all likelihood just a bunch of Disney haters that went in with the sole purpose of nitpicking the movie to death (Newsflash to these people: you can pretty much nitpick any movie in film history and find flaws if you're that kind of moviegoer). I for one am not the biggest Disney Fan, but I manage to set that aside and evaluate films as it is, and this film is simply magnificent! If you open up as you watch this movie, it will captivate you. If you sit there and be a hard ass and stuff, then you'll leave cold and that is more of a testament to YOU rather than the film. This film is a classic that will be remembered and cherished forever.… 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.

This movie is amazing. In some many ways it's hard to detail them all. How fantastic is a movie that has so little dialog and it tells so much at the same. Animation is very good. There's a funny love story. And it manages to please abroad audience. And above all it's fun and entertaining,This movie is amazing. In some many ways it's hard to detail them all.

Only PIXAR could make a post-apocalyptic movie with a nearly silent opening act so entertaining and engaging. Some of the themes might be over-emphasized at times, but that can mostly be forgiven because of the ambitious storyline and breathtaking visuals.

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