WALL-E Reviews

The film poses as thinking-fans animation, but there's little room for wonder or interpretation in the on-the-nose presentation.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

WALL*E begins with all the comedic splendor of a Charlie Chaplin film, but quickly devolves into a rickety bore.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

Ultimately, the elevation of technology to center stage, and the relegation of humankind to supporting act, left me cold.

While Wall-E dances whimsically, it's a plodding, frighteningly hypocritical, and forbidding film that trips over its fogged intentions at every dreary turn.

Too Gloom-E.

It is delicious for 30 minutes. Then the plot starts.

Cutes-E, but not enough gravit-E.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

The picture feels weirdly, and disappointingly, disjointed, something that starts out as poetry and ends as product.

Vastly overrated movie with all the charm of two vacuum cleaners making love.

This film deserves the Oscar. It deserves every Oscar. And a Nobel Prize for brilliantness. And I bet it would win it too if I hadn't just made it up...

It's not often that you find 'post-apocalyptic' and 'delightful' going together in the same sentence, but they're essential to describe the deceptively artful Wall-E.

WALL-E may contain a simple love story about non-living robots that are full of wires and microchips, but it has more heart than any other movie you will see this year.

WALL-E is something completely different for the kiddie crowd that will hold the attention of adults even with the 'G' rating.

The 2001 of animation. It's a sci-fi masterpiece. R2D2 hits The Road. But it's also no Finding Nemo ...

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

The idea that an ancient Hollywood musical, with its love duets and foot-tapping dance numbers, would be the thing that awakens emotions in both humans and robots, is pure genius.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5

Wall*E begins as a truly groundbreaking work and then turns into just another diverting cartoon with some wonderful themes.

Full Review | Original Score: 7.5/10

It may well be the best science fiction film in ages, but the movie doesn't need any hyperbolic assertions to draw an audience.Or, alas, to sell its action figures.

Full Review | Original Score: 91/100

[It] could end up being the best movie of the year.

Full Review | Original Score: 10/10

Pick any 24th of a second, frame it and you could hang it on a museum wall.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5

Pixar's WALLE succeeds at being three things at once: an enthralling animated film, a visual wonderment and a decent science-fiction story.
