What an amazing piece of storytelling! Not a single line of dialogue for the first 40 minutes, and yet I was completely engrossed in WALL-E's story. It made me laugh out loud in spots and brought me to tears in others. This is a charming, engaging film. It has no objectionable material, either. Another HUGE success for Pixar. Great story, great animation. My son and I absolutely LOVED this movie.
I too am a huge fan of the TV series, and I was a little skeptical of this movie. It paid great respect to the TV series. It even contained some inside gags that only true fans of the TV series would understand. The only things that kept me from giving this a 5-star review were some bad language, the play on gay sex and the not-so-thinly veiled cheap shots at President Bush. These things were abolutely unnecessary. The movie would've been just as funny (and a lot more family-friendly) without them. Other than these things, it was a great movie. Thanks for listening!
Saw this at one of AMC's digital theaters. Outstanding film! Great special effects. It never dragged--two-plus hours went by very quickly. Great chemistry between Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow. Funny Stan Lee cameo appearance. Fast-paced. Robert Downey Jr. did a terrific acting job. His character wasn't likeable at first but developed nicely over the course of the film. Do yourself a favor--go see this movie! By the way, don't leave early--stay until after the credits are over. There's a brief extra scene after the credits.
