40 minutes of pure poetry - By: S. Fagerland, 30 Nov 2008 
This is a brilliant film as a whole. But I'll remember the first 40 minutes the most.
The first part, with almost no dialogue, is as close as I have ever come to pure perfected poetry on film. In the darkness of the cinema I watched pictures that were not sad, but I still felt like crying. For the beauty. It's like a dance of intertwined emotions - when it's sad, it's funny; when it's fearsome, it's graceful; when it's robotic, it's human. The lack of dialogue enhances the experience. A masterpiece.
Simply heaven - By: Paul Everdark, 30 Nov 2008 Oh, Pixar. Why did you do it? You could've just served up another sugary-sweet film to please us, & he would've been very happy. Instead, you gave us Wall-E.
"Wall-E" isn't drenchedin Sunny-Delight hyperactive action, riddled with pop culture references, & it isn't a warm, fuzzy romp. In fact, you're not going to meet anything warm & fuzzyin this film, as Earth is dead, the last humans are gone, & Earth is left under a mass of skyscraper waste, mostly from the BnL megacorporation, who have grown so big that their president is the ACTUAL president.
"Wall-E" is darker, more cynical & slightly disturbing than any Disney film I've seen, & I loved it for it. Finally, a film which trusts viewers to think for themselves, that they can handle a film without speech for the opening 30 minutes, & perceive the messages, rather than beating them into submission with 'fun & laffs'. As polluted as Earth was, the film was a breath of fresh airin that respect.
Wall-E himself is a sheer creation a genius: a lovechild of R2-D2 & Charlie Chaplin. He may be a trash compactor with eyes, but I've never seen anything so expressive. His blips & bloops round off his personality perfectly, so really feel for him & everything he does: you share his awe as he soars through space, as he tries to win over Eve, &in the end...well, I have no shame to say I wasin tears.
By looking at it's parts, the film shouldn't work: a rubbish-shovelling robot trying falling for an apple Mac by using clips from 'Hello Dolly!', as they try to help the over-indulged humans back home. But, like Wall-E himself, it's so much more than the sum of it's parts.
"Wall-E" deserves to be a milestone film, a film to be remembered long after cheap disposable blockbusters have faded away. If you've seen this already, you don't need me to tell you that. If you haven't seen it yet, & you're on the fence: please watch it.
5 star movie, 1 star dvd package - By: J.C.'Captain Jack' Lee, 28 Nov 2008 
I love this movie & wait a long time for dvd.
But when I saw the packagein HMV....it is rubbish. This is the movie we
loved! Not take away chips! Really sucks!
I would never buy it unless they release a new version with regular dvd
box.
Mogadon on screen - By: Big Harry, 28 Nov 2008 
To be fair my 6 year old loved it (hence 2 stars) but I lost interest about 10 minutes into this. Little plot, less dialogue. I had to ask him what happened. I can think of far better things for a 6 year old to do like, well anything really.
Amazing - By: mummy spoon, 28 Nov 2008 WallE is such an original film , it follows a little trash compactor robot called WallE who is the last of his kind left on earth to clean up after it becomes overrun with rubbish, he has been doing this for hundreds of years with only a cockroach & the treasures he has collected for company until one day a very high tech robot called Eve arrives & WallE's world is changed forever. I won't give the whole story away but WallE ends up chasing Evein to space where the humans have been living on a huge ship & together they save the day & re populate the earth. There is no dialogue at all for about the first 40 minutes & I have read some reviews saying it is boring but if your not emotionally shallow the film gives so much without the need for speaking it's very touching & I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, it's definately one of pixar's best you won't be dissappointed. All that said about the film however, I must mention the packaging of the Dvd, it is one of the worst I have ever seen, it is all cardboard, not even plastic spindles to put the disks on, they just slotin , it probably won't last 10 minutes with kids so I would give 0 stars for the packaging but I gave 5 as the film is fantastic but shame on Disney, it means I wiil probably have to replace it at some point.
