Wall*E

SWTXBelle · #1 06-27-2008, 04:35 PM

I went because 5 & 6 yr. old boys + robots = love, and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Far more "meaty" than I expected.

3 year old boys love robots too!

My BF took his son to the mall yesterday and got an Eve robot that interacts with the Wall-E robot we got him last week.

We're going to wait until after opening weekend to see the movie, but the kid already knows it's in this theaters now because of the commercials.

I'm going tonite with some friends, I've been looking forward to this movie.

We take clients to the movies every Friday. Today we saw Wall*E. I wasn't impressed. I didn't like it.

And, I usually <33 Pixar.

I thought it was really good - a lot better than I expected. A lot of underlying themes and messages that little kids probably won't get though.

love, love, LOVED it! And I thought I would hate it! My husband dragged me kicking and screaming, but i'm glad he did!

I LOVED it. I went with my boyfriend tonight. I think it's a great animated movie for adults. Honestly, of all the Pixar movies I've seen, this is the least-kid friendly and most adult-friendly.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall - E! LOL

I totally agree that this is a grown-up movie. I went with Mr. Tau yesterday and there were more adults without kids at the theatre than adults with kids (but it could also have been timing. We saw a 4:50 pm show. The movie ended towards the end of dinner time. There were lots of kids going to a 4 pm show though)

Also, does EVE remind anyone of anime characters, especially the way her "eyes" look when she giggles (and the way she giggles, period) ?

Yeah. I JUST saw it at 1:50 Eastern and it was amusing, but I wasn't like OH! The way I was with CARS. Wall-E was interesting in a totally different way. Not a lot of dialogue, not a lot going on period. Kids were talking the whole time and a lot of the scenes where there was silence they sounded so confused and wouldn't be quiet (cos they are kids). This isn't for them. It's beautiful and smart, but I wouldn't take anyone under 10 to this.

PS-He was watching "Hello Dolly" in the movie and I'm laughing since I get home and turn on the TV and it's on!

ETA:
I agree that it is the least kid friendly but I thought it was cute.

As soon as I can get away from my job, I'm going to go see this movie. I fell in love with Wall-E in the trailers and can't wait to see the movie!

I went to see the movie yesterday and it seemed to me more of a slow moving social/political commentary.

I'm so good I'm not the only person that didn't love it! And, it did move reaaaaaaaaaalllllllllyyyyyyyyyyy slow.

I saw it today with my little sisters. I loved it. While I understood the "social commentary" (the fact that the humans did nothing, incredibly lazy and incredibly, how to put this nicely, overweight), I doubt my sisters did. Either way I thought the movie was cute. Wall-e was adorable (is that the right word?).

My wife and kids (10 and 7) saw it Sunday; I couldn't go with them. They all liked it okay, but I didn't get the sense that any of them loved it. We had polled a bunch of college-aged friends before going to see it: They were pretty evenly divided between those who liked it and those who really hated it. Many thought that the social commentary in it was too heavy-handed and too depressing (for children) -- and these are people who are pretty socially-conscious.

All in all, I'm in no hurry to see it; but then, I thought the trailors for it looked boring.
