Wall.e

If I were buying a laser gun I'd definitely take the XF-3800 before I took the "Pew Pew Pew Fun Gun."

When i saw the poster, i instantly thought Short Circuit and was pretty unimpressed. Not watched trailer though and the premise sounded quite intriguing.

Wall•E

In today's Hollywood, few studios have such a good reputation as Disney's Pixar animation studios. They have come up with the best stories and get some of the most talented computer artists to animate their characters. They are also known for their great scripts, this movie however, has minimal dialogue. Most of the sounds you hear are either robot sounds made by Ben Burtt, or straight dialogue made from mixing ordinary objects, sounding like words. Even for people who want dialouge, I think this movie will keep Pixar's reputation going.

Another trademark of Pixar is having a little cartoon short before the movie. In my opinion they go into two categories, great (Geris' Game) and really great (my all time favorite, Knick Knack.) What can I say, I love every short, and bought them all on DVD. The short before Wall•E called Presto about a magician and his bunny who only wants a carrot, would be characterized as really great, probably my 3rd favorite of all time. The animation is great and I like physical comedy, just seeing the magician get zapped, hit in the kahunas, and bitten by the bunny is worth the price of the movie ticket.

The story for Wall•E is just as unique as any other Pixar movie. This movie is about a robot named Wall•E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter -- Earth-Class)in the year 2700 who is left on Earth to clean up trash, then a beautiful new robot named Eve comes on a mission. I won't say much more about it because I don't won't to spoil it, but I will say that this movie loses momentum once we get on the BNL ship. Not Pixar's best, but still good.

Speaking of ticket price, I say go see this movie in the highest quality possible. The animation is stunning, even in regular quality. Andrew Stanton knew this and uses it to his full advantage. He puts scenes in with Wall•E and Eve, just exploring the scenery, it is absolutely jaw-dropping. The reasons of why they didn't release this in IMAX form surprises me and disappoints me. Yes, I will say the animation is better than Kung Fu Panda.

This movie is like Tina Fey, whilst being beautiful looking, it is also funny. A lot of the jokes are funny, especially in the short. Part of the reason it is so funny is that Wall•E's character does follow the Blade Runner motto, he is almost "more human than human," that is what makes him funny to me. He gets scared when we get scared, nervous when we get nervous, laughs with us, and almost cries with us. I loved him, and thought he was very funny.

This film can't be seen as entirely original, robots have been used in movies for a very long time, primarily in the movie Short Circuit. It does however, have better story then most movies, beautiful animation, an almost more human then human character, and most of all, it is funny.

Rating: Not one of Pixar's best, but still very respectiable. (Yes, I do think Kung Fu Panda is better)

Wall-E- the most overrated film this decade.

Thank you! I don't understand why everyone is so obsessed with that movie! I have a special little place in my hatred reservoir for that movie just because it's soo overrated.
