Wall-E

[Branduil]

I won't post spoilers, but I just wanted to say this was an excellent movie. It will be a crime if it's not nominated for Best Picture. Go see it. Now.

I'll have to second this; GO See WALL*E
I loved the Incredibles, loved Ratatouille, and really enjoyed Cars.

Wall*E surpasses em all, with great, yet incredibly simple story telling.

oh, and MO....

I'll third it. I saw it last night with the GF. Its a good family oriented, fun movies. Wall-E rawks.

Nthed. Great stuff. I started to think too much about the ending from a SciFi point of view at the end before I told my brain to shut up (as the movie is not SciFi, its Pixar).

Has a fully animated movie ever been nominated for Best Picture before?

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, 1991. It wasn't until 10 years after that they added the Best Animated Film category.

Best use of 2001 music ever! (Well, other than 2001.)

I really liked it as well.

While I really like Wall▪E, I cannot say that I liked it more than the Incredibles or Ratatouille. However, it's definitely better than Cars.

I was hoping for more from this movie; I don't know why, but IMO, it wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. The first half of the movie was incredibly funny — the second half not so much.

The movie has a lot of political and social commentary imbeded into it — almost too much, in places. The commentary didn't ruin the movie for me but it did make the movie less enjoyable for me.

The "personalities" of the various robots are definitely the best part about this movie. And how those "personalities" change after meeting Wall▪E made me laugh.

I give Wall▪E a 7 out of 10. It's a good movie with fun characters, but it needed more to make me think it is worth of being nominated for Best Picture.

The lesson I took away from Wall*E was that you can never, ever trust an AI with a single, glowing red eye. Ever.
