I've been thinking this movie over a LOT over the last week. Every time I think of how "weak" the second half is, I'm just reminded at how damn amazing Wall-E himself is and I forgive it and fall in love with it even more simply for the fact that Wall-E is in it. He is definitely one of the greatest cinematic characters of my lifetime, and he has an active vocabulary of....six words? Incredible.

I don't think this should go down as Pixar's best film, but, along with the original Toy Story, it should definitely go down as their most important and most notable film. (So far, of course).

One of my favorite things about Wall-E is how much people are loving it!!!

I felt more for R2-D2, and he had no vocabulary. Going back to the animated films of the early 20th century, most cartoon characters were able to express sometimes complex emotions without words. My favorite animated film is Dumbo... says nothing. Bambi... whatever. Wall-E definately has expressions.

Advanced, but not incredible in my estimation.

Roo...

Your opinion = EPIC FAIL.

LOVED it as well as eveyone else. The Fred Willard thing could have been awkward, but it was done perfectly. It was an incredibly interesting story, enjoyed every aspect of it. Eve's voice was great as well as the captain.

the more I think about it, the more I hate the human aspect of the film...but if you isolate the Wall-E and Eve scenes, it is just so beautiful.

Eh?

Nah, not really "eh", as that implies indifference, which I definitely don't have. It's just that after a second viewing, in digital projection with sound that didn't go bad in the second half, I still feel as though I'm missing something. It's not bad, quite great actually, but I'm not feeling this "masterpiece!" talk that goes on and on. I still give it ***1/2, but I think that for me this is this year's There WIll Be Blood or Pan's Labyrinth...I get why people love it, but I just can't embrace it in that way?

Great either way, and definitely deserves more at the box office. Pixar has just done better.

I feel indifferent towards you right now.

Likewise, only more so.

Wall-E lived up to expectations but of course Pixar's amazing work helped the movie exceed these already high expectations. Wall-E may be the cutest character ever created in film history and the love story between Wall-E and Eve is probably the most touching in film history as well. Even when Wall-E is aboard the ship, the film doesn't leave its magical touch. The humans are a nice addition as well.

So in conclusion, Wall-E is the best Pixar film to date (beating last year's Ratatouille). Heck it is already an all-time fav of mine and will most likely stay there for a long time. Pixar has done it again!

Spot on!

btw, Presto = best Pixar short ever

It was quite brilliant.

Although, Geri's Game is still my favorite

I loved it, definitely. Best movie I've seen this year, without a doubt. But Ratatouille, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles are better Pixar films. Uum.. sorry?

out of

That's quite alright!

All I care about is this year! Next year, I'll go for all-time!

Best Pixar film since Finding Nemo. Really liked the film. My only complaints were, I didn't like the shots at big business, thought the romance between wall-e and eve was underdeveloped and found the use of real actors annoying and distracting.

Loved everything else.

Under-developed?!?

The WHOLE movie was about the romance...

meh, underdeveloped.

Perhaps Jim was hoping for the traditional Disney denoument in which proud mama and papa are watching their offspring tumble across the screen, with some looking like ma and some looking like pa and some a mix of the two...

Finding Nemo is by far my Pixar favorite. There isn't anything even comparable to it at all, really.

I was never on the Wall-E hype train. I assumed I'd enjoy the film because it's Pixar, but had reservations because of Cars (utter balls) and because the trailers didn't really do anything for me (not as much an issue, being as Pixar's trailers rarely do anything for me).

That said, I've just seen it and... wow. It really is bloody brilliant. Top to bottom. If anything, I actually preferred the scenes in space to Earth.

Snrub! I also agree with almost everything you said!
