Wall-E: Too Much Hype
birthed on
July 05, 2008
Everywhere I look people have been raving about Wall-E. Deeming the movie as one of the greatest Pixar movies made. People I would never have expected to like a Pixar movie was saying that it was amazing. I saw it, and I wasn’t as impressed as I thought I’d be.
You see, I have three kids, I’ve watched (willingly and unwillingly) every Pixar movie out there. I can’t even count how many times I’ve watched each of them. I think Cars alone could be in the upwards of 15 times. I’m not saying Wall-E was a horrible movie, I just don’t think it was the pinnacle of Pixar’s movie making career.
Do I think Wall-E was a great movie? Yes. I was very impressed by the story line that used almost zero dialogue. I thought the animation was amazing and detailed. The plot itself was clever, but not super clever. The ‘robot love’ was moving. But it wasn’t as good as the hype.

I think Public Enemy said it best. “Don’t believe the hype!”

I think you now made me want to see this movie even more; if for no other reason than to see if it lives up to what I want it to be.

You should definitely watch it!
Maybe my expectations were too high? If you watch it let me know what you think.

Yea, I remember thinking it was a clever idea in the beginning of the movie… but overall thought I would be more wowed by Wall-E like other Pixar movies. It was good, but I agree it wasn’t one of their best.
