Wall-E



Pixar truly outdid themselves this time. Wall-E was everything from heart-wrenching to hilarious and back again. Though the movie has very little actual speech, Pixar has proven that it doesn't need to rely on witty one-liners to carry a movie. Everything Wall-E is and does will have you captivated until the credits roll. Actually, the credit sequence was fairly amazing in its own respect. The film's message was also deeper and more thought provoking than anything I have seen in a long while. So if you have yet to see this smart little robot's journey across the stars, then what are you waiting for?

I award Wall-E a perfect 5 stars out of 5.

Succinct and to the point, your impressions are on the mark. I only disagree with the bit about the thought-provoking story. Not that it isn't thought provoking, but the story has been replicated a few times and Pixar could have changed the ending. I would have preferred a tragic ending for this kind of story, but it is Disney and I'm sure there's someone pushing buttons up there that say "Check: Family-Friendly Ending," "Check: Heart-Felt Love Interest." I'd mark the movie more in the 4 - 4.5 star range.
