And check your reading comprehension. I'm criticizing it because it tries to fob off having terrible characterization by using the stereotype of robots. You seem to lack the capability to understand ideas beyond the soundbyte level. I don't care what it's targeted as. That doesn't make it a "good" film. Or perhaps you don't understand the difference between profitable and good? Success doesn't make something good. If I were you, I'd just stop. The more you try to clarify your remarks, the more obvious it is that you're missing the point. This is the same phenomena that has people admiring singers like Britney Spears. She's not talented. She's produced. Oh, but she makes a lot of money!! Must be class!! Or do you think boy bands and divas are quality music? Is that it Jibba? blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah god you sound like a douchebag, and i haven't even seen this movie yet blah blah blah blah who the fuck do you people think you are | ||

The main problem as I see it is that the definition of what makes a film "good" is completely subjective. Telling someone that their opinions are wrong just because you disagree is ridiculous. | ||

and everyone i've talked to has really enjoyed the movie. it's a fun movie and really enjoyable to watch. i guess that makes us all uneducated sycophants with bad taste, right egoldman? edit: This is the same phenomena that has people admiring singers like Britney Spears.

Is that it Jibba? not to derail this thread, but it's really quite different, i think. most people don't realize how good of vocalists people like britney spears/christina aguilera/justin timberlake etc etc really are. listen to the range, the accuracy of the pitch, the tone, the vibrato, the incredible control they have over their voice. it's arguable whether or not they would be as good or successful in a choral setting, and i will agree that a lot of the music they put out is shit to my ears, but there's no denying the amazing abilities they have with their voices. just because you don't like the music they make doesn't mean they're terrible singers. not everyone has to like brahms or tchaikovsky or mahler or anything else that you would consider "educated" or "sophisticated," but if they don't it doesn't automatically make them members of this uneducated "mob" that you speak of. | ||

First of all, it was definitely a good film. I don't regret paying the entry fee or anything like that. The 5min mini-animation at the beginning of the film made it value for money already. However, it definitely wasn't perfect or even a 9/10 imo. Sure the animation was excellent and there was an abundance of creativity. However, the strong emphasis on the love story plotline really made some of it quite tedious. Cute it definitely is, but I feel the film sacrificed a lot of potential laughs for yet another cheesy robot love moment. It just wasn't very funny. Finding Nemo is still by far the best animated film and Wall-E didn't come very close to beating it. | ||

I will agree on Christina/Justin. But in no shape or form does Britney Spears even have a MEDIOCRE voice. My 13 year old sister sings better. | ||

Robots were emotional people with feelings that deserve respect. Technology was only good when it stopped working as designed. Capitalism led to destruction, decline, and stagnation. Space was a place where pathetic failures run away from their problems. Mankind could only be redeemed by returning to a primitive agrarian society. etc. etc. So many bad, popular messages. I think it would have been a better movie all around if they had left humans out of it altogether. The show was stunningly beautiful until there were people, and then it was just another cartoon. | ||

After watching Wall-E I swore I'd never watch another Pixar movie, but I'll probably have to watch this... even though they're sure to butcher it. >< (Flame away!) | ||
