‘WALL-E' web reviews
This weekend, Pixar returns to the big screen with “WALL-E,” a family adventure about a cute, little robot who spends every day doing what he was made for, until he finally discovers what he was meant for. Doesn’t that sound sweet? Well, it’s Pixar folks, which means you'll be supplied with a heartfelt story, stunning action and grandiose visuals. I’m off to see the film myself in just a few hours and will post my review right here later this afternoon. But for now, let’s see what online critics have to say about the curious robot.
• Erik Davis over at Cinematical clearly enjoyed the film, although he stumbled across one or two tiny flaws along the way. But he definitely praises “WALL-E” for its heartwarming story. Here’s an excerpt from what Cinematical has to say about the curious robot:
“Thus begins what is perhaps Pixar's most romantic film yet -- a beautiful sci-fi tale complete with all the feel-good vibes and fantastic, cutting-edge visuals we've come to expect from a film wearing the Pixar name.”Want to read more? For Erik’s full review, just click right here.

• At Cinema Blend, Mariana McConnell gives the film a remarkable five out of five, calling little “WALL-E” the cutest Pixar character ever. Here’s part of her incredibly positive review:
“Like all previous Pixar films, the meaning of WALL-E is deeper and more profound than the merchandising opportunities found therein. It's a love story, yes, but it's also a story about staying true to your own heart in the blandly evil face of authority.”Sounds good to me.

• Our next stop is at LatinoReview, where Ron Henriques slapped the film with an A-, saying he loved both the film’s message and the amount of impressive action. Here’s part of what Ron thinks about the anticipated Pixar adventure:
“'WALL-E' is a visual feast to behold and it isn't just because of the detailed state-of-the-art computer graphics that Pixar renders better than anyone. The film is filled with beautiful imagery that not only helps tell the story, but remains in your mind's eye long after its over.”Read the entire LatinoReview critique right here.

• Finally, let’s take a look at what Brad Brevet has to say about “WALL-E” over at Ropeofsilicon.com. Brad quite simply calls it Pixar’s best film to date. Let’s see what else he has to say:
“The great thing is, even if you think all the stuff I am saying is critical crap that you don't care about that is fine, this film works outside of all the stuff that film lovers are sure to key on. WALL•E works as a story alone and the children in the audience I saw it with absolutely loved every minute of it.”I think that’s a perfect statement to wrap this up.
