I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts were of the movie. I thought it was wonderful!:Taking: Please only post if you have seen the movie.

It was good. The first 45 minutes or so if it was kind of weird considering no one was talking, but what can you expect it was robots. Anyway it was a cute movie with all the robot love that was going around.

Rating it a 8/10 as a cute kiddy movie.

I loved it!


It got really sad towards the end though :(
10/10

I was disappointed by the story. It felt like there were two stories here, and neither one was well developed enough to make for a good movie on its own - and together they were just a mess. The characters were good, and I thought it incredible how they animated both WALL*E and EVE. But overall I felt Pixar could have done a much better job.

I thought that it wasn't really made for like 3 year olds, it was too sad. Overall, I thought it was cute though.

I liked it, but it kind of scares me to think that we could be like those humans in the future....

9/10

I loved it, although before they even got on the ship I was wonderring if the humans would be....rounder because robots would do everything for them. The story line was different, but it was cute. Definitely alot different then pixars previous movies.

A friend of mine went, and she loved it.

She isn't one to usually like movies like that, so it had to have been alright.

i think it's stupid.
and why wast your money on
something stupid like that?

sadly.... i've never seen it lulz but... i doubt it would be as good as the bbc narnia tv series LOL!!!!!! (Leanne would understand this statement rotfl)

x Kerry x

I didn't see it, I guess I wasn't really interested in it.

- Ace

My cousin saw it and she said it was at a few parts boring, but she also said it was really cute.

I heard it made around $62 million this past weekend.

I heard it made around $62 million this past weekend.

Beat the other big release of the weekend, "Wanted", by $11 million and is Pixar's 4th biggest opening ever.. if anyone's interested. :cool:

I didn't go see it because it doesn't really interest me.
My cousins loved it though.

~ Pink

I haven't seen it yet, but i want to, cuz i'm a sucker for cute movies like that.. and plus you say its sad in the end? yeah those r fun to watch too.. LOL

plus it looks like it has actiony stuff.
LOL

I was very much excited to see it because it was Pixar. And Pixar movies are always fantastic.

I loved it, everyone in my family did. And we are all quite picky. The story was fantastic- It really made a point. The characters were also very cute and quite funny at points. It was a classic Pixar movie. =) 10/10.

Awesome movie with awesome animation.

i think it's stupid.
and why wast your money on
something stupid like that?

Obiously everyone who posted about it in this thread, and the millions of others who saw it this weekend.

There's you're answer

I'm considering seeing this tomorrow. Well, this or Wanted.

Canada Day/Empty Theatres + Matinee = Love ;D

Anyway, if I loved Finding Nemo do you think I'll like this?

I saw it, and LOVED IT!

Ps. Did that robot AUTO remind anyone else of HAL-9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

9.7/10, The Storyline was good, The " Villian " was surprizing ( not to me though :-P, seemed too creepy ), The only thing that was well... uneeded are the Human's Inactivity ( *cough* and how big their wastelines were *cough* ) but it was good...

I thought it was pretty good, it looks like it's for really little kids, but there's a lot of stuff in it that little kids probably wouldn't understand to make it more interesting for people a bit older
8.5/10

i liked it a lot but im gonna split it up like this
Comady 8/10
Face it ten out of ten is very funny it was not that funny but it was funny
Like a Child Movie 10/10
Yes its a child movie but i will make another like this
Like a Tween Movie 9/10
almost there
Boring 3/10
It was not that boring o.o only the begining aprt was so here is the new score
4/10 :P
TALLY UP :p

umm er..
i dont know lol but it was pretty good

I thought it was great, even though there was not much dialogue but you didn't really need it to understand the story, this movie setting is almost sadly true, and our world may become of what Andrew Stanton depicted in WALL-E. AND I loved Presto the Pixar Short, it was hiliarious.

Btw, most of Pixar fans, and adults enjoyed the movie, alot of top critics, like Roeper, enjoyed the movie and never thought of it as a kid movie like some of you.

i think it's stupid.
and why wast your money on
something stupid like that?

You mispelled waste lol...

Oh and have you actually seen it?

Best Disney movie in a LONG time. Amazing. I give it 12/10. Greatly written. Explains story well without words. Realistic animation. This is comming from a person who hates Pixar. This movie changed my mind. Best Pixar movie ever, and best movie all together in a long time.

You mispelled waste lol...

Oh and have you actually seen it?

Obiously not because she thinks it's stupid O_O

I thought it was gonna be dumb
When I saw it, I kinda liked it.
It was made by the guy who made R2D2 :P
lol at it's charging sound.

Obiously not because she thinks it's stupid O_O

I watched it and it was idiotic at best.

I went to go see Wall-E because so many people on this site said it was good or whatever.

IDKK If we watched the same movie because i thought Wall-E was the stupidest movie i had ever seen.
Like wall-e's voice was so annoying and it was just .........
If i had to rate the movie Wall-E i'd give it a 2
Yeah the graphics were cool, but the storyline and everything else stunk. Including the humor which i thought there wasnt any.
So please dont post on this thread to tell me it was good, because i just wont listen to you.

:flagwaver:

never seen it but dont intend on seeing it

It's probably because you were aiming for Violence which most people do these days, and just cant really appreciate this kind of movie.

I watched it and it was idiotic at best.

Why do you think this? I'd love to hear your reasoning.


I personally loved it. Every minute! Just because there is really no talking in the beginning of the movie doesn't make it boring. Showing what the earth was like in that time period is an essential element in the movie.


Weren't the "Hello Dolly!" songs enough for you people? :rolleyes:

Weren't the "Hello Dolly!" songs enough for you people? :rolleyes:
No :-P
I Could watch HSM in WALL-E and not be effected :-P

I absolutely loved it! Its another movie that Walt would make, its a Pixar movie. I love it! The beginning is kind of like, "Come on... Let's get going here..." But its a really cute movie and funny. My friend said it really makes you think about the Earth. Although, you don't have to worry about us becoming like those people. First, who would want fries as a drink, or pizza?!? And, they were on that ship 700 years! We wouldn't be able to live past 125 I bet. (Not to offend any.) But with no excersise, no health food, or any physical movement, we wouldn't live to be 700, don't you agree?

Hah! finally!
someone smart!
rofl i HATE it too!
i think it was stupid..
i only saw it because i was forced..
and i could have fallen asleep..
stupidest movie EVER...

I liked it but it was stupid that the president in the video was real and then the people are cartoons.

Well then you dont have to listen to me, but, I think it was good, and you musted of seen the wrong movie! It was wonderful, thank you for reading, if you did.

I was disappointed by the story. It felt like there were two stories here, and neither one was well developed enough to make for a good movie on its own - and together they were just a mess.

What do you mean by two stories?

I thought it was great they had funny parts and some sad. And scary how that could be us in 700 years. I thought it was well thought out and great.

:126:red:126:

Yes it was good, so you don't like that kind of movies, ok so don't watch those kind of movies again. There are usually 2 different kinds of people that watch movies anyway, some that will like it and some that wont. So don't be complaining how other people like the movie just because you don't like it.

Just a question for you, if you're going to read any posts, how are you going to not read posts that people write about liking it, you won't know for sure whether they liked it or not unless you read the whole thing. I personally thought the movie was good.

I just saw the movie today and I thought that it was the best movie I ever seen!

Why do you think this? I'd love to hear your reasoning.

Exactly, the movie is based in the future in the year 2700. It's a fictional movie. I'm just pointing out that it showed what the Earth was like in that time period, (in the story that they wrote). Of course right now we aren't in that period. That wasn't what I was saying at all.

Beat the other big release of the weekend, "Wanted", by $11 million and is Pixar's 4th biggest opening ever.. if anyone's interested. :cool:

I haven't been able to see it.. since,
I, picked Wanted over Wall-E; heh. :D

Thanks Surf.Rocks

This movie was great. The animation was FANTASTIC, and I think it had a good mix of humor and seriousness. Very well done. Not my favorite, but very good.

You must have been watching with your eyes closed.

WARNING
This post contains spoilers.

What do you mean by two stories?


I'm not sure how I can be more plain. :) There are two stories here, and neither one was well developed.

The first story tries to be a touching romance of two robots. Except it really ends up as one robot (WALL*E) being puppy-dog about the other one (EVE), who doesn't care about him at all until he becomes important to her mission and she sees video about how he acted. The end of this story is rushed and contains elements that are poorly explained.

The second story is... well... even less coherently developed. Is it a story about the environment? Not really. About rampant consumerism? Not exactly. Humans vs machines? Not quite. Self improvement? Almost... All of the above, but none of them well developed? Exactly!


Ps. Did that robot AUTO remind anyone else of HAL-9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Its pretty clear that AUTO was based on HAL. Besides the visual feature, he acts exactly like HAL did for exactly the same reasons. And, just in case it wasn't clear, they played the theme to 2001 when the Captain went to turn him off. In fact, I think one of the attempted plots for the "second story" was just a badly done remake of 2001.

It's probably because you were aiming for Violence which most people do these days, and just cant really appreciate this kind of movie.

I disagree. I loved both Cars and Ratatouille, neither of which were violent at all. Both had action and excitement, yes, but more importantly both had a coherent story from beginning to end.

WALL*E lacked that coherent story. The "silent movie" portion was different, but was perhaps the best part of the movie. We started to learn about and care about those two characters. Pixar should have just developed that portion into an entire movie and forgotten almost entirely about the humans.

Instead of developing the "silent movie" portion more, they chickened out and added a more "action sequence" storyline. Most people I talk to liked the silent movie part, and disliked the scenes aboard the spaceship. In fact, I think most people who like WALL*E like it mostly on the previews! (I know at least one person who hadn't seen the movie, but was trying to tell me how awesome it was.)


Why do you think this? I'd love to hear your reasoning.


Let me turn this around - why did you like this movie?

I don't quite agree with targ, obviously, but I think Pixar did a rather bad job with this movie overall. The plots were thin and there are lots of holes in the storytelling. While portions of the animation were awesome, other parts were bizarrely bad, and quite jarring to watch. While some characters I could get attached to, others were quite meaningless to me.


Weren't the "Hello Dolly!" songs enough for you people? :rolleyes:

This is one of the parts I wish they had done completely differently. The live-action video was annoying to watch amidst all the beautiful animation. The songs were repeated often enough that I grew to hate them. Pixar couldn't afford to create some new music for this?

I agree with you about the confusing storyline, there were a bunch, but I just thoroughly enjoyed the movie! I found it amazing how the storytellers could make the audience so attached to this little robot. I mean it's definetly not Pixar's best, but it's certainly not idioitic.

Of course, I love the romance between Wall-E and Eve. That was too cute. The other storylines, eh. The corrupt robots and people who have no idea what earth is. That was all over the place.

Plus, I loved how they incorporated the "Hello Dolly" songs, but that's just me. This movie is actually different from the other Pixar movies. That's possibly why I enjoyed it so much.

Though I love this movie, I agree with this. I, too, did not like much of the story on board the space ship. But the amazing scenes in the beginning made up for the second half. I wish they just could make the whole movie more based on Wall-E and EVE, and if any other side story, make it a small side story. Overall, I still think this was the best Pixar movie yet.

I disagree with this, mainly because I love Hello Dolly, and I really love the songs. I do think that if there was no Hello Dolly (or another movie, or some other picture or something) that Wall-E would not long to hold EVE's hand, which I think is a cute, funny part of this story.

What the Earth was like in that time period?That period hasnt happened yet.

That depends if you see time as a linear thing.

Well, the movie is certainly making high ranks on IMDb's Top 250.

Yes, there were two stories: One was the romance between Wall-E and Eve. It was cute, but slightly rushed.

However, the second story was about consumerism (in my mind). Did you not notice all the signs up that said Big N' Large? The humans bought so much stuff that they were forced to leave the planet and leave robots to clean their mess up for them. Humans were not responsible, and bought way too much stuff they did not need. It was a great storyline for the movie- focused on economy.

I'd love to see how you are forced to watch a movie. That's quite interesting.

It's really amazing how people HAVE to see a movie that has violence or other innapropriate things in it to say it is good. It's sad, really.

I'm sure you thought "Finding Nemo" or "Toy Story" were terrible movies too... Good luck convincing me on that.

It was a Pixar movie, I don't know what you were expecting. I'd love it if you could tell us what they should have done to make the movie better, so I can compare my thoughts more easily.

Ok 1st of all... Most of them said BnL ( Buy n' Large )
and 2nd of all, the humans were just too careless and lazy to pick up their trash so.. Earth became toxic and left WALL-E models on, but all but one shut down sadly, thing is, how can a plant grow with ALL THAT TRASH!

(Always good to have a pleasant discussion about topics like these.)

Yes, this was the genius part of this movie. How they did so much with WALL*E and EVE's animation to really make us care about both of them. What is idiotic was that they felt the audience wouldn't like this part, so they added other junk.


Of course, I love the romance between Wall-E and Eve. That was too cute. The other storylines, eh. The corrupt robots and people who have no idea what earth is. That was all over the place.

I suspect that they were worried that people wouldn't like the WALL*E/EVE scenes, so they added the Axiom scenes. I think that was a big mistake. It would have been very easy to make a movie just set on Earth with these two characters that would have been far far better than what we got.


Plus, I loved how they incorporated the "Hello Dolly" songs, but that's just me. This movie is actually different from the other Pixar movies. That's possibly why I enjoyed it so much.


I disagree with this, mainly because I love Hello Dolly, and I really love the songs. I do think that if there was no Hello Dolly (or another movie, or some other picture or something) that Wall-E would not long to hold EVE's hand, which I think is a cute, funny part of this story.


Every Pixar movie is different from the others - thats what make them all so wonderful. I think this contributed to the problem with this movie - while the "silent picture" was new and different, the "action picture" was entirely like what we get from almost every other animation out there. It was dull.

While I love Hello Dolly, I think the way it was used in this movie was... poorly done. It turns into the only reason WALL*E falls for EVE, instead of watching things develop between the two. I also didn't like that it was a live-action clip. This is Pixar! They could have invented a movie and two songs to have done the same thing. (Although if they just used this storyline, they wouldn't have needed to resort to this trick.)

Is that what you think the second story was about? :) While I saw that as an aspect of the second story, it wasn't the story itself. It also wasn't much of a story, if so - not much happens talking about consumerism itself. We even see WALL*E being a consumerist!


I'm sure you thought "Finding Nemo" or "Toy Story" were terrible movies too... Good luck convincing me on that.


I thought both movies were vastly superior to WALL*E. Both used the animation to tell their stories, and they had stories that wove their way through the entire movie. WALL*E's story was choppy, at best, and didn't really develop.

Look at Nemo, as an example. As the story progresses, we see the relationships between all the characters build. While we see the father and son wanting to be reunited from the beginning, the desire builds and builds as the movie progresses. There are two stories, but they tie together and help tell the other story. They are both fully developed stories about families.

WALL*E wasn't anything like this. We have a deep feeling for the main characters in the first 15 minutes or so, and this hardly changes all movie. The action scenes don't really contribute to how we feel about the two. The two stories are barely related to each other.


It was a Pixar movie, I don't know what you were expecting. I'd love it if you could tell us what they should have done to make the movie better, so I can compare my thoughts more easily.


For starters, I would have removed the entire plot line about the spaceship.

The setting on Earth was still good, and EVE's mission was still good, but I woudln't have that revealed until the final moments of the film.

Instead, the entire movie would have been about EVE's quest, with WALL*E following her along trying to figure out what she's doing, and why, and trying to impress her along the way. As they travel, they learn more about each other and more about their friendship. And they learn just what their friendship means to each other (this is where you introduce things besides showing Hello Dolly over and over).

But, as I said, this is a far more risky film to have made. I think the Pixar execs got worried that people wouldn't deal with a silent film about two robots falling for each other, so they forced in this other storyline. I think that was a mistake - and I think the movie badly suffers because of it.

But would there be a point to two robots wandering around Earth the whole movie? I see what you mean, but if I knew that's what it was about I would not have watched it. I think that adding the humans helps you realise why Wall-E is on Earth in the first place.


Unless of course what you said was just a small summary, Then I would probably see it.

I loved this movie, my favorite Pixar one so far.

I think that it really should have stayed on Earth. There would be hints and old "Holographic Billboards" to tell about the humans. Maybe Wall*E and EVE could have been building their relationship throughout the movie, and just near the end, EVE finds the plant, showing that humans can return, without ever going on the ship! I think this would have made this movie better, even though I already like it.

Ughh, thats why I love old shows, cartoons, and movies much better than today's shows. People were not afraid to take risks. If this movie came out bad, I am sure most of us would have forgave Pixar. Most forgave Disney for Valient, a movie that the mojority of people did not like. Just take a risk, it would have made the movie amazing, or maybe not so good, but I think it would have been worth the risk.

The bolded parts are the parts I strongly disagree. FINDING NEMO WAS BETTER THAN WALL.E?? Are you insane....? And WALL.E was a risky film to make? Isn't every movie a risk to make..... And what quest... What is this quest about? Finding that green plant... And about the second story.. If we keep living life like we do now, we'll end up like that.

I loved this movie because it was different.
~~Spoilers~~

I really liked the storyline.
Wall *E finds Eve and Will go anywhere just to be with her.
(I thought the part in the beginning where Wall *E followed Eve everywhere was a bit weird.)
Then Wall *E finds himself on a ship trying to get Eve and save the planet.
For me it was mainly one storyline.
It wasn't very funny but I can sometimes watch a movie with hardly any humor.

Are most of You positive you would want them just to stay on earth??
Bc most of the storyline/Romance developed on the ship.
Plus if they didn't get on the ship what kind on releationship would they have had??
Eve would have just focased on the mission for the whole entire movie and Wall *E would have just shown her around.
(Yay!! that would have made a great movie wouldn't it?)


It did have flaws just like any other movie but it made my 2nd favorite Pixar movie.
What Didn't put it there:
1.I couldn't really understand what Wall*E and Eve were saying half the time.
2.Not enough humor.
3.It needed some more music.
4.The humans in the movie. (I think they were brainwashed.)

What did put it there:
1.The Storyline
2.Good Graphics
3.It got people to think about our economy more.
4.The way the brought a real human into it.

I liked it.

The part with the spork was funny.

Hmm... Know that you speak of it, it does sound like it would be better staying on Earth. But I did like all the Robots who had problems ;)

When we went, at midnite, there was at least 300 people in the theater, and it was storming out, so when the cartoon came on at the beginining, the power went out which was brutal, then came back on in the middle of the movie, so I didnt see have the movie :( but the part I saw was GREAT!!!! 10/10 for Wall-E

I think the movie was just mainly about STOP LITTERING and START HELPING.

you go make a movie with that kind of animation and message! I know its your opinion but still.

FINDING NEMO WAS BETTER THAN WALL.E?? Are you insane....?


I thought I very clearly explained why I thought Nemo was the superior film. Perhaps you could explain why you disagree with me?


And WALL.E was a risky film to make? Isn't every movie a risk to make.....


Some more than others, of course. Ratatouille was a risk because rats are traditionally a very un-loved character. Toy Story 2 was much less of a risk both because there were well-established characters, because the storyline was a very traditional story, and because the format of the movie was also fairly traditional.

WALL*E was a risk because we haven't had a (mostly) silent picture in roughly 75 years. There was a real chance that the audience would not react well to a movie with almost no dialog, since we're so used to our characters talking and explaining what is going on. The style of the first part of WALL*E was very very different than just about anything in theaters in recent years - while the part onboard ship was very typical of most other movies.


And about the second story.. If we keep living life like we do now, we'll end up like that.

I think that is an underlying message for the entire movie, but it wasn't the second story itself, and it wasn't enhanced any by the second storyline.


I think the movie was just mainly about STOP LITTERING and START HELPING.


Where was the "start helping" part of the movie?

Perhaps its supposed to be obvious or something, but I found the environmental message very very weak. The movie itself doesn't say "do something different". None of the characters do anything to make the world a better place, really. (WALL*E is building huge piles of garbage - not exactly cleaning up.)

In fact, the existance of the plant essentially gives the message "you can't do anything, anyway - it will all be ok in the end if you do nothing". Thats hardly a good environmental message!


Are most of You positive you would want them just to stay on earth??
Bc most of the storyline/Romance developed on the ship.
Plus if they didn't get on the ship what kind on releationship would they have had??
Eve would have just focased on the mission for the whole entire movie and Wall *E would have just shown her around.


I'm quite positive that I think it would have made for a better movie, yes. I can't speak for others - or even if it really would have. Just that the movie I picture in my head would have been a better movie.

As it stood, EVE did focus on her mission for the entire movie until the final scene back on Earth. They kept cutting to the shot of her directive graphic. WALL*E just kept following her around. That sounds exactly like what you're saying you wouldn't have liked.

Clearly I couldn't explain the entire plot of what I'd envision an "Earth only" movie would have been like, but I think some others have outlined some aspects of this. I think the important points of such a journey would have been

Seeing things that we (the audience) would associate as something beautiful, but which is now totally devastated. Perhaps even things that would have been romantic (Niagra Falls comes to mind).
WALL*E would learn a range of things that were romantic or touching. The sunsets, the holding hands, etc would all have been developed over time.
EVE is getting increasingly desperate to find... something. We don't know what for the entire movie. We don't know why. It becomes a point of suspense for us to learn what it is, and when we do learn it, it becomes the climactic point of the movie.
I envision that its not "a plant" he turns over, but a rose, or something where he is trying to be romantic, and EVE reacts to it positively. Thus reinforcing both the romantic pinnacle of the movie, as well as wrapping up all the unexplained events.



What did put it there:
4.The way the brought a real human into it.


I was bothered by the live action clips for two reasons:

The live-action human looked different than the animated humans. There was no reason to do this that I could figure out, so it looked weird.
Pixar has, for a long time, made a big deal about how they did "100% computer generated" animation. And in this movie... they didn't. Are they trying to say that they can do live-action movies too? Are they saying there is a problem with computer animation, or animation at all? What drove them to do this?


Hmm... Know that you speak of it, it does sound like it would be better staying on Earth. But I did like all the Robots who had problems ;)

I thought they were cute... but a grossly underdeveloped portion of the story. They were in... what... 3 scenes? And barely used even in those. Just not enough screen time for me to care much about them.

To prisoner's response:

Why I disagree:

First off, I am not saying Finding Nemo was a bad movie. I thought it was good. But WALL.E is better because WALL.E had a message I could find and understand. It was we need to go green or else this is what our life will look like. In Nemo, I understood the storyline but didn't really get a message out of it.

Is that what you think the second story was about? :) While I saw that as an aspect of the second story, it wasn't the story itself. It also wasn't much of a story, if so - not much happens talking about consumerism itself. We even see WALL*E being a consumerist!

I thought both movies were vastly superior to WALL*E. Both used the animation to tell their stories, and they had stories that wove their way through the entire movie. WALL*E's story was choppy, at best, and didn't really develop.

Look at Nemo, as an example. As the story progresses, we see the relationships between all the characters build. While we see the father and son wanting to be reunited from the beginning, the desire builds and builds as the movie progresses. There are two stories, but they tie together and help tell the other story. They are both fully developed stories about families.

WALL*E wasn't anything like this. We have a deep feeling for the main characters in the first 15 minutes or so, and this hardly changes all movie. The action scenes don't really contribute to how we feel about the two. The two stories are barely related to each other.

For starters, I would have removed the entire plot line about the spaceship.

The setting on Earth was still good, and EVE's mission was still good, but I woudln't have that revealed until the final moments of the film.

Instead, the entire movie would have been about EVE's quest, with WALL*E following her along trying to figure out what she's doing, and why, and trying to impress her along the way. As they travel, they learn more about each other and more about their friendship. And they learn just what their friendship means to each other (this is where you introduce things besides showing Hello Dolly over and over).

But, as I said, this is a far more risky film to have made. I think the Pixar execs got worried that people wouldn't deal with a silent film about two robots falling for each other, so they forced in this other storyline. I think that was a mistake - and I think the movie badly suffers because of it.

Yes, I definently found that consumerism was the story. It was hard to find- we weren't going to be spoon-fed the information... So I suppose it could be different to everyone.

Now, let's not get me wrong- I absolutly agree that Toy Story and Finding Nemo are both superior to Wall-E. They're fantastic Pixar movies- Toy Story especially. :) However, I still find that Wall-E fits into that 'great Pixar movies' category. :)

:fireworks:GG

i think it's stupid.
and why wast your money on
something stupid like that?

Well, some people like entertainment, other than movies teens and some tweens don't really want to see. The movie was aimed at more kids around the ages of 4-10 years of age. I did see it -- just because I haven't not seen 1 movie in the theaters since 2 years ago :) --, and the story line was a bit off and confusing.

7.5/10

Hah! finally!
someone smart!
rofl i HATE it too!
i think it was stupid..
i only saw it because i was forced..
and i could have fallen asleep..
stupidest movie EVER...

I don't thank that hating a movie needs Rolling on the Floor Laughing. What would you say if someone you knew said a movie you liked and/or loved was horribly bad?

Now about the movie...:

My Favorite Character: M-O
My Favorite Part: When WALL-E Puts his "foot" on M-O's face and M-O screams
Weirdest Thing: The Way the Humans Looked...

I saw the movie last night. It was a good movie I got scared of all the lazy obese people though and the piles and piles of trash I'm going to recycle more. My favorite part is when Wall-E finds the wedding ring box and throws the diamond ring out and keeps the velvet box instead. Wall-E was my favorite or the roach because it surprisingly didn't gross me out. I also liked it when you thought the roach was gone for good but he I think it was a he would always come back to life.I also liked it when Wall-E would lose his eye or something he would go through his trash collection and get a brand new one. It was definitely different but that's what made it special.

That is one of the best, cutest, most ADORABLE movie I've EVER seen! It was SOOOO cute! And just check my sig if I liked it!

I loved Wall-E! The animation was amazing, Wall-E was really cute, and the message was great. 5 stars! Also, the short "Presto" was hilarious!!

this movie was amazing.

Wait... I forgot. What happened it that again?

And, they were on that ship 700 years! We wouldn't be able to live past 125 I bet. (Not to offend any.) But with no excersise, no health food, or any physical movement, we wouldn't live to be 700, don't you agree?

Concerning their obesity, It was because they had an extended stay in microgravity, this was mentioned by Shelby Forthright, and they lost bone mass which is why they had never walked, let alone stood.

As for their ages and lives, I'm positive those weren't the original passengers, and it actually seemed that the humans were living longer but less than healthier lives, probably due to great advances in medicine. One photo of a captain said he lived for 140 years.
