I'd say it was as preachy as the terminator movies (basis for the movie is the fear we'll overpolute the planet, just like terminator was fear we'll make machines that don't want us any more), but yeah, it's a good movie. I give it a higher rating though, 9.5/10, because not only was it entertaining, majority of the time there's no words, it's machine noises.

Many people originally thought it was about that, but the plot wasnt written by al gore. It was about sexuality. No kidding, and it was about very conservative, christian-like values, and some commentary on how fat and complacent humanity have become. more info here:http://branthansen.typepad.com/letters_from_kamp_krusty/2008/07/wall-e-and-sex.html

They make Disney look like 2-girls-1-cup. I used to love watching Benny Hinn, that towel head faith healer Jesus guru schmuck. That crap was funnier than 90% of what comes on Comedy Central!
I thought Wall-E was crap. Pretty much no story at all - a loose love affair between two unlikely looking robots which, of course, are blessed with human-like qualities.Wall-E himself was a blatant copy of Johnny-5.Boring and predictable kids story.Terminator 2, on the other hand, probably the finest science fiction movie ever created. What's better than T2?I wish they'd make some films based on Iain M. Banks novels - he's fucking awesome
i probably have a 1% chance of ever winning in duel against you
