thistlechaserUgh. Ugh. Ugh. While technically really well done and wonderful to look at, story-wise this was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
Robots have no emotions. Robots have no feeling. Movie ends right there.
Even if emotions could somehow be programmed into robots, there would be no reason to do it for one like Wall-E. You really want a worker doing a redundant trash-related task to feel bored? Resentful? Angry at having to clean up after humans?
How the hell can you have a love story between two robots?
Grrrr.
Toss onto that perhaps the most heavy-handed "eco-message" I've ever seen in a movie, and I wanted to stab the screen through most of the film.
The only thing that could have salvaged this a little bit could have been the ending. If Wall-E had stayed 'reprogrammed' (or memory erased or whatever it was) it would have been a darkly satisfying end. But no! We must have a happy ending for the children!
And tell me why most animated movies need "wacky sidekicks"? Yeah, those defective robots were really important to add in...
I can't believe how many people loved this movie. Based on reviews I've read around in the net, I may be the only person in the world who hated it.
But seriously. Robots cannot feel anything. They cannot feel love. The movie was based around nothing but one giant flaw. *mumble*
