So you want to go see a movie this weekend but you are not sure what to see. The guys around the watercooler are talking about this Wall-E film that is supposed to be pretty good, so maybe I will see that. Its a Pixar movie so you know it will be good for the kids. They get amused watching skittles thrown in the air.
But you are a websavvy fella of the new millenium, so you are going to see what other people think before you let them railroad you into another family film. The Intarnets never lie!!!
What movie should you see this weekend? Wanted is surprisingly good, and will likely beat your expectations. I can honestly recommend it… but the clear winner is WALL-E.
So far the little robot that could has a 98% tomatoemeter rating on Rotten Tomatoes with over 40 reviews. Actually, only one reviewer gave a negative critique.
Looks like you are going to see Wall-E.
But you better get their early so you can get yourself a good seat.
Or go to the really late showing so you don’t have to listen to that kid whine that his bladder is the size of an acorn and he cried til you gave him a pop that weights half as much as he does.
I wonder, is there really a person that HATE this movie? Why? If they hate the story that much, why didn’t appreciate the technology pixar delivered to us? It was amazing!
I love to see WALL-E get nominated for Best Picture. Actually I think it deserves a win.
Also, there was wonderful sound editing and mixing by Ben Burtt, he might even deserve a Special Achievement.
And there was a beautful score by Newman. Derserves nomintaion.
Most importantly, Stanton derserves a win for Best Original Screenplay. Beautiful storytelling, beautiful originality.
But what makes those voters discriminate animated movie?
WALL-E FOR BEST PICTURE.
Suzanne, you must be married to Eric.
I dare say that you are in a vast minority. But it always seems there is one person who wants to stand out and be unique.
Worst movie ever… forget worst Pixar movie!
We went off to sleep. Obviously little kids who like anything moving will like it. Its an adult theme trying to scare human kind with the green bandwagon. It will do well the first weekend because its Pixar movie and summer and all. Can’t imagine anyone liking it.
Not entertaining, Not funny, the moving assembly line was a copy of Monsters with the moving doors… the Wall-E and Eve sounds after the Nth time was grating. What was Pixar thinking :( We have enjoyed their past movies or been OK with them. But this… the less said the better
My wife and I agree… This is the worst Pixar movie ever!
We loved the intro cartoon with the rabbit/hat trick.
We expected much more from Pixar.
I think John opted to go see Dark Knight instead of Wall-E. I am sure it will be up soon.
Where’s the Movie Blog Review?
I saw it Tuesday night and it is an amazing work. It’s not perfect, but it attempts something that most mainstream filmmakers wouldn’t dare to: tell a story almost entirely without dialog. It completely succeeds and is a charmer. It’s a worthy addition to the legendary Pixar legacy.
THat negative reviewer just tried to separate himself from the pack.. HEY LOOK AT ME! IM DIFFERENT!
I am looking forward to this movie. Pixar usually fulfills it’s end of the entertainment bargain and has created some animated masterpieces in their short of existence.
I’ll see Wanted but at a half-price matinee…even though John gave it a great review, I have a funny feeling it’s going to be a stinker.
Check it out… one of the two guys who gave it a negative review is being slam by the community…

I will probably love this movie more because the robot reminds me of Johnny 5.
Good marketing nothing else! kids will watch him to anything thats how much he has been forced into our brains. anyone?
He’s so damn cute!
This reads like an advertisement.
Holy crap that’s impressive.
Oh, my God! That means it beat Iron Man.
I plan to see both Wall-E with the kiddo and then Wanted for myself this weekend. It’s gonna be another hell hot weekend here in Cali, so looking to sit in a cool movie theater for a bit of entertainment sounds good.
96% now ;)
I managed to check out a sneek screening last night with the fam, and I was not disapointed in the least. Wall-E is an amazing effort by Pixar and dare I say it, perhaps my second favorite only behidn “The Incredibles”
I believe this could be the movie of “the” movie this summer to see.
