WALL•E

Review by Josh Hurst | posted 6/26/2008 12:00AM

When Toy Story opened in 1995, it was heavily marketed as the first-ever full-length computer-animated film—essentially, as a novelty. Anyone who saw the film, of course, knew that it was anything ...

this was a really intrigueing movie, I liked it because it was original, well made, creative, interesting, humorous, and on and on. The storyline is rather unrealistic, as the world being filled with garbage would have more severe consequences than just that we are running out of room to live, but hey, its a kids movie. I really enjoyed it, its got great humour, and I think that it is another great production that Pixar can be proud of. The only reason I didn't exactly like it was that I think the idea of robots falling in love when humans are no longer capable of functioning properly is just a little far-fetched, and as a personal opinion I don't think Artificial Intelligence is ever going to be possible... but hey, like I said, its a kids movie. Two thumbs up for pixar :)

Caroline... I find your comment disturbing in the fact that if you consider WALL-E one of the "stupidest movies you have ever seen" and you and your friends found it "really boring", i'm not sure what entertainment value you people would find in quality filmmaking and storytelling. The impetus for humans leaving earth was well established as the story unfolded. The plot point of humans leaving earth as a result of over-consumption and waste is frightening and more culturally relevant at this point in history. more so than a "bomb going off." Perhaps you are being obtuse on purpose to be funny (which you are not), or maybe you are the perfect demographic for something less taxing on the brain, or at the very least a film where the plot is handed to you from the very beginning to minimize your confusion... try a Jonas Brothers concert movie or another pop-culture-laden Shrek sequel. Good luck at the theater!

This is one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen. NO ONE in our family or circle of friends liked it. The opening was unclear - did a bomb go off? No! People were just too lazy and left earth. Maybe that should have been clear upfront. This was made by the people who did Toy Story? That was such a creative and fabulous film. What a huge disappointment! And really boring.

Am absolutely beautiful movie that's godly, thoughtful, and moving. This is an AMAZING film. Oh, and it's not just for kids. Animation is a medium, not an age group.
