the last few pixar movies been pretty hit and miss for me..
monsters inc-miss, finding nemo-miss, incredibles - hit,
cars - HUGE HIT, ratatouille- miss............and now this....... wall-e.....
it's the first pixar movie that made me ambivalent............it wasn't bad...
but it wasn't very good either...the story was a complete bore, there
was not motivation for anything that happened, and the graphics were average....
no pixar slipped up, and the public (not that i care) also seems to think so,
have you seen the ratings/reviews/box office? hardly a dent..................and
the long term implications don't looks so great either........
i like the trailers, i like robots, and it looked promisingl......................however,
finally seeing what seems like robot-romance-environment-saving-plot was
boring me to tears............................not one bit of humor, action, or anything
worthwhile to make it special........
pixar needs to go back to the drawing boards.........bring on cars 2, toy story 3, and incredibles 2..
i'm waiting......
later

Are you freaking kidding me? Wall-E was a masterpiece. This, Incredibles, and Ratatouille are on a tier of their own as far as cg animated movies go. And Box Office numbers mean nothing. All they mean is how much of a mass market appeal a movie has. In a day where parents are afraid their kids wont be able to sit still for 5 minutes, crappy but colorful and cheesy kids movies are going to do better than slow paced but thoughtful and beautifully done children's movies. And there is plenty of action and humor in Wall-E. Thre humor is subtle and intelligent rather than being over the top and stupid.
