Is Wall-E Worth Waiting For?

Originally uploaded by will not erase.


It's going to be quite a while before the latest robot movie hits screens here. We've read the newspaper and online reviews, but what we really want to know from our readers is if Wall-E is worth waiting for. Did you see it?

If it's definitely a 'two thumbs up' flick, then we'll be very careful to avoid reading any spoilers or plot analysis. On the other hand, if it's disappointed you, then we'll wait for it to come out on DVD and get it from the local rental store.

Yes, Yes and Yes, almost a perfect movie. It is a movie for both kids and adults!

Transformers was cool and all, but just like Short Circuit from the 80's Wall-E is going to make all the kids want a robot of their own. Yes, two thumbs up, top-notch movie, and worth waiting for!
At first I thought it had jumpped on board the go green fanatical bandwagon, but nothing that was brought up in regards to the environment was blown out of proportion. Thanks Pixar! :-D

Lem,
I'm not particularly good at expressing great emotion, but I will say that Wall-E completely blew me away. Wall-E grabbed me with a performance that I've seldom seen a live human achieve.

I can't wait for the DVD, so I can put the first half hour of the movie on continuous repeat. Excellent movie. Two metallic-opposable-manipulators-up!

I found the movie very entertaining. It also had a strong message, but I'll leave that for when you see it yourself, Lem. You'll enjoy it!
