The first 20 minutes of this film were great and then it went severely downhill.
The apparent “message” is administered with a sledgehammer, over and over, and I don’t appreciate that, especially since the Walt Disney corporation are in NO position to be preaching to anyone.
In fact, I find it absolutely disgusting that Disney would even attempt to convey such a message when they constantly produce tons and tons of plastic shit to accompany their adverts, sorry….I meant “Movies”, products which were, I might add, mostly created by severely underpaid people in sweat-shops!
But, beside this moral high ground I have decided to take, 3/4 of this film consisted of an incredibly annoying repetition of “EVA!” and “WALL-E” in varying degrees of brain-destroying squeak. Also, the whole “robot just wants to fall in love” thing, I found that to be utter bollocks, if he was that emotionally advanced, you would think he might also have been intelligent enough to quit creating blocks of rubbish over and over again in a world empty of his former human masters.
Oh, and another thing, I don’t find incredibly fat people funny, so I can’t understand why that Captain character was used as some sort of misguided comic relief.
Then, on top of all this, we have the multiple and blatant examples of character theft from other, superior, Sci-Fi stories, Johnny 5 from Short Circuit and HAL from 2001 being just two of the more obvious examples.
As far as I am concerned, this Movie has managed to achieve an unwarranted worldwide reach-around resulting in an almighty record-breaking Daisy-chain during which everyone agrees that the person in front of them, assuming they also enjoyed the film and haven’t just been caught up in this gruesome sexual act by horrific accident, that they, like themselves, are an intellectual force incapable of being touched by those who didn’t like it.
I have to hand it to them, Wall-E is the single greatest piece of merchandise advertising the world has ever seen.
