WALL - E?

I didn't laugh or cry, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was what it was. A robot, stuck on earth, who helped the humans bring their fat asses back to earth. It was cute. I guess my expectations weren't that high. Where were the women commentators?

i have been seeing reviews from you guys for a while and i was just wondering do you actaully approve of any movies???

As usual, anything that is against the Current TV viewer's liberal elitist POV, is ignorant. So I guess that makes me ignorant since I thought this film was boring too.

This has to be one of the most ignorant reviews I have ever seen.

I hate these guys. They bad mouth everything from Wall-E to Cloverfield. Wall-E doesn't need words to be enjoyable. They've never seen a silent film obviously, and have been diluted by the mainstream shoot-em-up crappy action movies with loads of bad dialogue. Despite the amazing animation effects, Wall-E displayed amazing body language for his limited number of appendages. The love story was incredibly cute and the message (although in your face) was powerful. These guys can blow me. Go see Wall-E.

At leat these are funny. The LAST thing I want to hear is a bunch of film geeks pontificate over the true meaning and art of a film. KILL ME. The point of these is to watch a range of regular joe's give their opinion. I think it's refreshing and entertaining, whether I agree with them or not. Keep them coming Current! I think there's already enough serious crap on this channel. Let's have a break every now and then.

keep in mind, these are a bunch of 20-30 year old guys reviewing a children's movie... of course there gonna be bored.

I can't believe you have that same "dull thuds" reviewing films on current tv. they are clearly not the ones to review films like WALL E or any of the like. Do they know anything about film at all? Or do they get their rocks off by seeing their faces on tv constantly? Get some fresh perspectives. Or at least get more people with a greater range of movies than the Rocky series. Or did you just want to string a bunch of reviews with as many thick headed, frat boy, white guys you can find?

Wall-E was the shit! nuff said

I agree that the film was beautiful, and yes I enjoyed the message, but let's be honest, most of the people in this forum are liberal green freaks who wet their pants over this kind of message, and who are taking it way to personally and seriously that regular people judging a movie by its entertainment factor (not it's improving the earth factor) found the film kind of boring. Again, beautiful in many ways, and everyone should see it at some point. But not perfect. And these guys are just joking about those imperfections, they aren't the cause of the overpollution in our world and global warming. Breathe people.

I loved "Wall-E" but the mix of live action and animation wasn't really convincing.

Allow me to go one step further than just my complete disagreement with the reviews of this movie....and I address this to the people at current who decided to let these yuk yuk's on air.

I think I can safely say that whatever these guys do or don't like, the exact opposite is true...never more so then with this movie. Clearly, these guys are retarded.

I loved Wall-E! I actually really enjoyed the lack of dialoge. It made you pay more attention to their reactions and learn more about the characters. It was tons of fun and I never really got bored with it!

Other than the over-the-top interpretation of the future, I thought it was the perfect animated sci-fi, once again illuminating the most ordinary and extraordinary of human quests: to connect with another being.
Pop culture references and deep philosophical themes embedded in a visually beautiful and weirdly unique story. Robotic thumbs up.

it seems like 'cinema' for children is being ever-more marketed towards adults. the problem is that it is dumbed down for everyone. i don't want to be asked about nemo. get real.

this is a good film! At least children are learning and having a good time, instead of having their minds pulverized by brainless humor.

From the time we first see Wall-e until Eve lands is actually 10 minutes.

great movie
great message
save our planet before the trash
takes over
beautiful and very educational
all kids should watch it
@ school to help them
understand the importance of
recycling and caring about our
one and only planet

hands down one of the best animated movies ever made!!! congratulations to pixar for being extraordinary.

Never really on board with the LD reviews and WALL-E is no exception. This is, in my opinion, an absolutely brilliant film. First, the surface: Some of the most outrageously impressive animation I have ever seen. The detail, the clarity the dimensions, all flawless. The sound design is equally impressive, with every tiny nuance and movement perfectly executed.

The depth: the characters (Wall-E and Eve) are beautifully and simply developed and the story is told with an effortless kind of grace. No, there is no talking for the first half of the movie, but it works because everything (in terms of storytelling and tech) works together harmoniously. There was no fat. This is lean, well-paced filmmaking. The filmmakers are clearly very cinema-literate, as well, as they pay homage to many of the great sci-fi gems of the past, Kubrick's 2001 in particular.

Plus, there is a message! A "kid's film" with a heart and a mind?!! Wall-E somehow pulls it off.
While some may find the message a little heavy, this film speaks to the pitfalls of over-consumption and disposable culture in a way that the younger set (that the film is marketed to) can understand. Kids will be able to take away a very positive, socially conscious message from a piece of pop-culture, a true rarity these days.

I highly, highly recommend it. It's a really fun, smart and funny film that is remarkable to look at and listen to. I'm betting it will also be the first animated feature to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars.

This is hilarious. They didn't wipe their ass with a bible people, they just disliked a movie (though I think the movie is amazing). And I agree, no more saving rows of seats!!! Great comment. Why aren't all theaters reserved seating?

THEY CLAPPED! the audience clapped!
sorry you guys, it was awful.

I thought this movie sucked so bad I felt like walking out and watching hand cock for a SECOND time.
enough said.
it sucked so bad.

I have to say, I'm hit and miss with Pixar films, outside of how fantastic they look I can get bored. I was a big fan of Wall-E though, it's the best animation so far and the story was solid. Go see it!

Wow these guys are falling off lately... Wall-E was a timeless, amazing movie.

Oh come on you're all a bunch of bitter old bitches. I normally agree with your reviews but you really missed it here.

I loved wall-e.

Incase you guys missed it wall-e showcases the huge leap in particle effects rendering, something that has always been really challenging in Visual Effects films especially digitally animated films.

I loved wall-e. it had emotion and life lessons that everyone can relate to. and yeah it was clever like usual, maybe not as funny as usual, but would u want a movie about our laziness and pollution problems to be funny?

Grown ass men reviewing children's movies = LOSERS

I enjoyed it.

wall-e was great!

The people featured in this video look like some morons to me.

The movie had a lot of humor in it.

Over all I think bad opinions were picked out for this review.

I know a lot of people who LOVED this movie.

It says a lot about the human race, love, affection, determination and society let alone.

It doesn't take much brains to see the humor in this movie and the message.

So I'm sorry you reviewers fail epicly; I do feel bad for you.

-pity-

"I liked it."- small draftsperson's lamp

Awesome movie! I think intellectually challenged people don't like this movie. It has meaning and wit and should make u think of how much humanity is forgetting about Earth and becoming lazier and lazier... so much so that we don't like movies with no words because that would make us use our brains. Does it really hurt that much? Like the saying goes: beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Awesome movie!

COME ON GUYS!!!!
it wasn't that bad!!!!
i thought it was a pretty cool movie the sound was all cool and the story line was pretty awsome! AND although the animation wasn't the best, it wasn't the worst!!!

quite possibly the best movie i've seen in the last 3 days .

K and M, thanks for the movie review. I have been planning on seeing this movie and still will but now I know not to expect Nemo. Good to know especially since that is what I was thinking it would be and would have been sorely disappointed had I gone to the flick without seeing the review first. Keep up the good work!

Cough up the $10 to see it again, but this time pop your Ritalin first. Then see if you like it.

I loved when that one dude said, "It was like castaway but there was no wilson" though. That was good.

i can't believe how off these guys are! i have never been that excited about pixar before, but this movie was amazing - smart, challenging, and super beautiful - i guess i am a fan of slow development and quietness in movies

Slow at times, but a good flick

I'm sorry, but my son and I loved it. The movie had a lot to say and the beauty was that it didn't require a lot of words to say it. So what if it wasn't realistic..., hello.., it's a cartoon. What's important is the encrypted themes hidden between the animation; the things that are truly important: love, kindness, bravery, integrity, opening your eyes to the world around you, the disconnection in society and how we need to get reconnected, our disconnection with the environment and how we need reconnection with the earth and start giving a damn before it's too late. Those are the underlying themes that this movie is trying to say.

If you're going to give a report on a movie you must find the true meaning in the movie.

i would have liked it better if there were more dialogue, the constant screeching of EEEVA got annoying.....

This is one of the best films I have seen in a long time, so I don't understand their problem with it. They must have extreme ADD or something. Just look at all the positive comments here for this movie.

If they couldn't sit through "Wall-E", I'm scared to think of what they would say about "The Fall"...

Can I be honest? I didn't love it. I really wanted to but I just kept waiting for more. The animation was beautiful and I did cry a few times with Wall-E and Eve. I wish there was more of them on Earth. I appreciated the message with all the fat humans but couldn't that have been done on the planet? I thought the out of space thing took me out of it. I'm a girl though so maybe I am wrong.

As far as the critics, I think a few of them were a bit harsh but I think a few of them hit it on the head. Sorry if I offended anyone, but I wanted to love it if that helps!!!

No one is faulting you dude, I have seen the pods before- I listen to you normally. Didnt agree with other dudes this go around. I dug this movie and it sounded like you did to. Peace to all!

bum that..i really enjoyed wall-e.I thought it was really good and the animation was outstanding

Hello everyone out there. This is Kristian, one of the reviewers in the piece. I don't believe I have got one response to what I have said about this film. Big deal- Sebastian/ Steve/ Mike didn't like the film. So what? It is their opinions, the film didn't touch them the way it did for the rest of you.

As far as Mark and I go, I think that because of the equal air time all the reviewers received, a lot of our thoughts were lost in translation.

I LIKED this movie a lot- my point was that I didn't love it. I had heard all of these things and I guess I set the bar too high.

THE POSITIVES: What I had said was that right away that these comparisons came right away to Short Circuit- and I think the only similarity is the look of the robot after that it ends. WALL E was a character I got behind and I rooted for from start to finish. I thought the animation was BRILLIANT. It was a well crafted film with a believable love story between two robots.

THE NEGATIVES: I thought the story had a lot of momentum until we meet all the humans. For a large part of the film (no pun intended) the pace slows down and then the love story revs up again and I thought it closed strong.

I am not asking anyone to agree with my opinion, it is your own. I appreciate everyone watching and I love you all!

I think they are just bitter because they can't understand the greatness of robot love from the future.

This movie wasn't bad because of the lack of dialogue,it was bad because it WASN'T ENTERTAINING!!!!!!!!Isn't that the point of any film?I found moments to latch on to during the longest 1hr40mins of my life,and I did love the underlying message,but I didn't laugh,I didn't cry,and most importantly-I didn't care!Thank you to Kristian,Mark and the rest of you for trying to save the movie-going public $12.

I think that y'all were looking at this film the wrong way.
It has so much hidden meaning to it, along with some in-your-face stuff, some of which is really scary..and eye-opening.
I think it had a great balance of incredible animation, a realistic feel, and a lot of messages to-well, everyone-that we need to be acting NOW.

What the hell? I just saw this peice on tv and saw these guys tear this movie apart. Seriously?

I loved this movie, I'm considerig seeing it again before it leaves the theatre. I have listened to current lowdown reviews before but maybe I need to start taking these opinions with a grain of salt.

Great movie, don't listen to these guys.
-B

Hold on - how can a summer movie be highly anticipated? It's not a summer movie for nothing.

Bunny short was very clever, fun.

And what about the Bunny short before the movie. That was funny and lacked any lines.

i suggest taking this off the air

hehe ok maybe not, but seriously dudes what's wrong with you!!

or maybe it's cause i'm still a kid that i enjoyed it so much

I laughed my ass off, and it touched me deeply also

u guys have something missing, a soul maybe LOL

i'm a fan of urs but honestly this is the worst lowdown u guys have ever done!!

THIS MOVIE WAS THE BEST EVER YOU PEOPLE ARE VERY DUMB.

ROBOTS + FUTURE + LOVE STORY + SLAPSTICK COMEDY = GOLD

I have to agree with these guys. Snore. I haven't watched a cartoon to learn or to get emotionally involved in a love story since I was 9. I watch cartoons now to laugh (ala Family Guy) and giggle (ala Nemo).

It was so boring, I found myself wanting the movie to rush to the end.

I agree with these guys. Wall-E was no Love Guru.

castaway without wilson???
thats it, im not watching this thing.
i had a bad feeling about wall-e (mainly because of the shortcircuit resemblense) but now im sure.

saying that the term "jump the shark" has jumped the shark has jumped the shark.

The term "jump the shark" has jumped the shark.

I saw it last night and this film was BRILLIANT. Loved every bit of it and it was truly imaginative. Sorry but this Lowdown has jumped the shark. Lowdown FAIL!

Swedutch,

I didn't hate this film at all and I had NO problem with the non talking in the start of the film. I thought it was one of the most visual stunning film I have seen this year live action or animation with the exception of The Fall.

My biggest problem is that all I had heard about Wall-E before I saw it was that it was the greatest animation film ever, etc... It was slow-

Without ruining anything- there is a certain part of the movie where it reaches a lull. I found the character of Wall-E endearing, I was rooting for him the entire time and I do recomend the film.

I just say- Don't expect Nemo or Incredibles or Toy Story. It is a completely diffent type of Pixar film and it has a fantastic message.

As far as seeing Guru- If you hate yourself that much and want to torture yourself- please by all means, go see it.

-Kristian Harloff

Wow, I've been turning to you guys for movies reviews for a while now but after seeing this i had to make an account just so i could let you know how wrong you are.

The animation was amazing, at times I forgot that this was a not filmed but rather created. The story and character (although looking a lot like jonny 5), were unique and interesting.

As to the lack of dialogue, a movie doesn't need to have slapstick comedy/humor to be interesting for the first 40 minutes, unless u suffer from ADHD. Learn to take in the sights they are providing you and maybe try contemplating the world wall-e lives in to get some understanding of what is going on.

Another thing, don't complain about your experience with theater goers! No one cares you couldn't find a good seat.

I am sorry but you guys have lost something, and after this - i may just have to go see Love Guru or Zohan. Because although you say those films sucked, that just might mean they were amazing.

It felt like I was watching a painting come alive with a robot I felt could be my best friend. Mark and Kristian- you broke my heart.

yeah, this movie was so imaginative and audacious and beautiful and above all, human...

but if you're expecting to see talking animals voiced by steve carrell and cameron diaz, then yeah, i guess it would be disappointing...

I LOVE WALL-E!!!!! You guys are funny but WRONG!!!!

See I thought it was a little boring, but I enjoyed it

I agree that it wasn't as funny as other Pixar films, and I also agree that it was a little lesson heavy. But you have to admit it was pretty to look at. Go see it on the big screen for sure.

Wow, you guys are grouchy, I loved this movie, thought it was amazing.

I am more with Kristian on this one. How can you guys hate this film?? It was the most beautiful animation I have ever seen. If only you knew how they animated it maybe then would you appreciate it.
