What Can I Say About Wall-E?
Interesting question. So we finally made it to the movies this afternoon to see Wall-E in the second-run theater. What can I say about Wall-E?
I can say that the short, Presto, at the beginning of the movie was very cute and engaged Gus completely.
I can say that the first fifteen minutes of the movie were very entertaining to DH (dear husband) and me, but MM was a little disturbed and Gus was very interested in the pattern on the wall next to us.
I can say that the popcorn was really overpriced and not worth it - stale.
I can say there’s a good reason we went to see it for $2 instead of $7 or $9.
I can say we probably should have gone to see High School Musical 3 and we may have gotten 45 minutes out of our tickets instead of 15.
I can say I’m glad I waited to buy the DVD because the kids both found the beginning of the movie “sad” (Gus) and “scary” (MM). They have no desire to watch further.
Is this a negative review of the movie? Not at all, but I think we’ll be renting from Netflix if we ever want to find out what Eva was looking for.
Bummer! I wish it would have went better for you guys. We just watched Wall E on Thanksgiving night for the second time and everyone was captivated. Maybe just an off day?
Today we went to see MAdagascar 2. Very good. M loved it.
I’ve enjoyed your posts. I have an autistic child too. . . and have ‘watched’ a few movies from the lobby. . . send me an email if you’d like to know what eva was looking for (and found)! We managed to watch all of this one. . .
My husband loved it, but I’m not really sure I liked it either. I loved the character of Wall-E though and really related to him.
I also thought it was interesting that there we so few words in the film.
My little guy liked Wall-E. Without all of the words to confuse him, he seemed to understand the movie better. He is so literal in his interpretations.
My son loves this movie. I haven’t seen it yet, but we will be buying it for him when it is available.
