Whatever you think of the rest of the movie, the first fifteen minutes will stay with you forever.
Saw it in a packed theater... the first fifteen minutes was freaking tear gas... just killing people left and right.
Another brave movie by Pixar.
Pixar's "Up"

but the first fifteen minutes are perfection. And Wall-E is a beacon. There will be no Wall-E dissing in this house. | ||

Wall-E was good, but honestly a bit disappointing; it seemed kind of... boring? | ||

So ok, you have this old guy (who now I was thinking is the dream version of the kid) and he goes takes a seat under pressure from those gov't dudes. now the house starts flying away on balloons. at this point i'm thinking "ok this has to be a dream, this guy is just dreaming he'll fly away, it'll flash back to the reality of him sitting down in the chair and something else will happen".. and keep in mind this "reality" of sitting down in a chair is in fact what i'm considering to be the kid's dream, so it is not, in fact, reality. anyway that flashback doesn't happen either. and this goes on. the thing that makes this different from movies like toy story or something is that in this movie it's framed as within the realm of what the characters could conceivably dream about (this is the part that separates it from movies like transformers for instance, where i *know* it's just sci-fi or whatever) so by the end of the movie i'm in like 6 different nested dreams that i'm expecting to come out of but then it never happens and the movie ends and im just left there sitting and staring at the screen, confused as hell, while others are like clapping or standing up or tearing up or whatever. all i needed was a scene of the kid waking up from a dream at the end and it wouldn't be such a big mess! .. .. .... i dont think this came out any clear over the internet. oh well the thing that everyone else tells me is that "it wasn't a dream dumby" =x | ||

(spoiler) is it the quiet little kid hooking up with the spunky tomboy? I thought they used up a whole movie to make 1 point, and it's that "life is the journey." The point was beautifully made though. there are things that took away from the movie, like the blatant age difference between the old man and his childhood hero, the irrelevant exotic bird, the pure evil alpha dog that seems like a throwback to earlier shitty disney films, etc. my favorite pixar film's Ratatouille. Anton Ego's review made my eyes water. the struggle to become that which makes you most alive but can also hurt you deeply and is seldom understood... Shucks, I can identify with that. | ||

Pixar is soo good, but wall-e is overrated. It's a very good movie, but not a "beacon", not perfect. Simply because it does too much for a child's movie. | ||

Although I honestly thought the 'humans' in that movie detracted. They were just so... shallow in comparison.And with reference to the 'lack of transforming robots'. If you are referring to 'Transformers', then i welcome you to come to an anonymous help session for other victims suffering the mental trauma of of both the incredibly bad plot continuation of Terminator: Salvation and the incredibly bad action scene directing of Transformers 2. Pizza and coffee is not provided, you must bring your own. | ||

I think a lot of the beauty behind pixar comes out of the fact that their movies cater to a much larger audience than just children (as most animated movies) | ||

We get to see the basis for the story to come. The real deal comes later when the now old man (whose wife died as you saw in the 15 minutes) has to deal with the fact that people want to tear his house down. He can't bear the idea of this because for him, this house very much symbolizes the love he had with his wife/life he shared with her, and tearing that down is like erasing all of that. So he instead decides to 'fly' away, and goes through [insert rest of movie here]. | ||

Wall-E is the story of a simple, backwards, country boy with a big heart and unending love who falls for a sophisticated, sexy city girl. In his undying love for the girl he learns that not only does he have a big heart, he has big balls as well. And in the end the girls realizes the same. I don't see this whole 'robots' interpretation. Don't reed too deeply into the subtext. | ||

Pixar is a cute company and while they do mostly appeal to children, I'd have to say Wall-E is my favourite. | ||
