Title: WALL-E
Post by: Zovistograt on June 28, 2008, 11:55:11 AM
So I saw WALL-E today.  I must say, PIXAR keeps churning out these great movies every year, and I still am amazed every time.  This one was a bit shorter than the last two, but I think it captured so much in its 92 minutes.  Stunning visuals, with the contrast of the Earth to the futuristic but lazy Axiom...uhh...mothership, shall we call it?  The motif of the movie "Hello, Dolly!" was well-played, and the morals were in place, as usual (the main one being that we should trust defective robots to get the job done...or to save the environment and not be lazy but w/e same thing).

I'd give it an 8/10...maybe not their best, but certainly not their worst by far.  It was great.


Also, the animated short in the beginning seems to be a parody of Portal, but with no cake jokes.  ^_^


How did you people like it?

Definitely a great movie, especially given that the first half of the movie contains little to no dialogue. Kudos to Disney/Pixar.

Definately going to see this! Looks cool, and I expect nothing less from Pixar. In other news, I just saw You Don't Mess With the Zohan. I can now say that that may be the best moview Adam Sandler has been in in a looooong time! (and maybe of all time! :O )

I'm going to see Wall-E on Monday.

I wonder what's next for Pixar, all of their movies thus far were pitched at a single meeting in 1995.

...Are you high? Honestly, that movie practically relied on sexual jokes the entire time! Adam Sandler's best performance was in The Wedding Singer, hands down.

I would like to see this movie. It looks actually quite good. Even though it's kinda young for my age.

Zohan, while I didn't think it was terrible, wasn't very good either.

Nowhere near Sandler's greatests.

I liked Wall-e mainly because its messages are ones that I'm fondest of and talk the most about, but visually, it was great as well. I think the short film looked better than the feature itself, though...

I just saw it today, and I really liked it.

But did anyone else think it was weird that the movie had real people in it  ????

I hated it. It was obviously not child-friendly, because half the kids in the theatre were crying there ****ing heads off from 20 different scenes.

The only part I found amusing? When I heard one kid shout, "MOMMY!!! I DON'T WANNA BE FAT!!! *moan*"

Just because the people in the movie theater were idiots doesn't mean the movie sucks.

Saw it about a week ago. Loved it to death. <3
Pixar has once again made me commit to buying a DVD before a movie is even out of theaters. D:

Then again, I hate most G-rated movies anyhow.
Also, nobody laughed. I was wondering "Why didn't I go see 'Wanted'?"

Also, I saw Get Smart almost right after Wall-E, And I was laughing my head off. But, I'll leave that for another topic.

It was supposed to be different than other Pixar movies.

It was supposed to have a message.

It wasn't supposed to be a comedy.

Then why did it appear in the Comedy Genre?
Obviously, A Movie in the Comedy Genre is supposed to be funny.

What movie reviewing site put it in the Comedy genre? If anything, it's in the romance genre because of the relationship between Wall-E and EVE.

Wall-E was originally planned to be the movie that came out after Toy Story, but it was shelved because the head of Pixar didn't want to make a romance movie at that point.

Just because it's made by Pixar doesn't mean it can have a darker theme and an ongoing romance.

Here's the genre, according to OH-So-Many sites:

"Animated/Family/Adventure/Comedy/Science fiction"

Don't blame the fact that I hate it, blame the people that chose the genre.

The correct way to classify Wall-E would be Animated/Romance/Drama.

There's not enough comedy in the movie for it to be a comedy.

I said in a loooong time. The only recent one I saw was (saw and was are exactly the same but reversed, lol) Click, and this topped it. Of course he had better movies, but this was his best recent one. His best was Happy Gilmore IMO.
