Well, this is certainly getting some incredible buzz. Roeper and Michael Phillips gushed over it this past review weekend.
I simply am amazed that Pixar keeps doing it. Just amazing that every idea comes to fruition and they excel in this medium beyond all others in both story, character development, and visuals.
I never look forward to animated movies, but i am looking forward to this one.

Yeah, Pixar is in a league all their own. Even though I didn't love the stories and characters in Cars and Ratatouille as much as previous Pixar movies, I still was blown away by the animation. Ratatouille, especially, is just beautiful.
I think the Wall-E story will appeal to me more and I've heard they've once again outdone themselves with the animation. I can't wait to see for myself!

Other than Toy Story and Finding Nemo I'm not big on Pixar, but the robot looks so damn cute I can't wait to see it.

I'm surprised a pre-mature revival of the Rank the Pixar movies hasn't been recreated by now. People are slacking.

Am I the only person who sees an uncanny resemblence between the "star" of this movie and "Number 5" of Short Circuit fame?

That's been discussed in excess for the past months all over the internet, so no, you are not alone. And I dunno, while they do look a little alike, the more I see them side-by-side, the less I think they resemble one another. Although, I don't doubt that Number Five influenced them to a degree in this movie, as they are pretty similar in basic design, and also both develop personalities.Originally Posted by marty888

In any case, I cannot say enough how impressed I am with Pixar and have been over the years. In preparation for WALL-E, I've been revisiting all my Pixar DVDs, and they are still just as good. Pixar is in another league when it comes to stories and animation; their movies are incredibly well crafted, visually beautiful, and have fantastic stories and characters. I see no reason to expect any different from WALL-E.
I'll probably end up seeing this more than once, as I am anticipating stunning visuals that are only enhanced by the big screen.

well, if the movie was reviewed early, it's probably because the studio had full confidence that they have a good movie on their hands. just a thought.Originally Posted by The O
I don't keep up with the show much these days, but has there been a title they reviewed early that they didn't enjoy?

One of the reviewers on AICN said that all of the stuff in the previews comes from the first third of the movie. Obviously there won't be any proof until Friday but if this is true this is amazing and it grabs at my sense of wonder at what could be achieved here.

My first thought when seeing an ad for this was "how unoriginal". It bugs me even though I was never a Short Circuit fan. If the movie ends up being worth checking out I'm sure I'll rent it one day.Originally Posted by marty888

I fell the opposite. I've loved every Pixar movie so far, but Wall-E looks too silly. I'll check it out of course but really hope it's MUCH more than a lonely robot love storyOriginally Posted by mcfly

I saw a preview screening of the film last night and it was absolutely amazing. I thought it was easily the best pixar movie and an instant classic. It will be one of those movies that get watched generations from now.

RT has it at 83%. One guy didn't like... said it dragged partly due to not having dialogue during the first part of the movie. What a tool. 
I know everyone has an opinion but sometimes I think a "critic" will do this just for attention.

I can't believe this is coming out in 2 days. Perhaps, I'm just watching the wrong shows but I have seen hardly any ads and had no idea it was coming out. This will probably be the first Pixar movie I sit out and wait for the DVD.
