While failing to live up to the praise I seem to remember from its release, WALL-E was enjoyable, particularly thanks to excellent animation which I enjoyed in 1080p HD. Being a Disney-Pixar movie I was surprised by the desolate state of Earth and by the cynically depressing state of humanity.
The last thing I heard about the movie before I watched it was my friend bemoaning the blatancy of the anti-globalisation message, so that was on my mind and it did seem to push that social value surprisingly hard. Perhaps all Disney-Pixar films have done so but I never looked for it and missed those values. Anyway, despite all this, it really was an entertaining, pleasing film without being outstanding. Being a kids' film the story and characters were thin, so my enjoyment mostly came from the brilliant animation as well as the fascinating portrayal of society in 2085. 6.5/10
WALL-E is a near perfect movie and the only way it could not live up to praise is if you are intentionally trying not to like it. A 6.5 is a ridiculous score for one of the best films of all time, and quite frankly you're an idiot. That is all.
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for the comment! I know this movie is widely loved so I don't have a problem with your support for it but for the record I didn't try to dislike it. I honestly enjoyed it, obviously not quite as much as you and most other people have, but there is scarce reason to call me an idiot simply for expressing my opinion.
