I know!! I mean how interminably comment-worthy can a fairly pleasant comedy film about Jamaican bobsledders possibly be?

love that movie

thank you so much for posting this, you rock

Lol, Cronenberg's Crash shoutout.

I mean I know this is an older film review of a UK critic uploaded from someone who has no affiliation to Wittertainment, but anyway... I gotta disagree with the idea that the desolation at the beginning being the best part, but I also agree that the people are lazy and destroying the planet bit is a less interesting focus. What I loved was the Jack Lemmon/Shirley McLaine-esque relationship of EVE and WALL-E. It's genuinely one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a film. I'm surprised he said absolutely nothing about that. I mean, it's his review, but that's such a big part of the film, to overlook it is a bit odd.

Waste Allocation Load-Lifter: Earth-Class!!!

Also just gotta say, most of the entertainment & critical content I consume these days is in podcast form, and although I stan my podcasts, it's wonderful to see a team with such respect for their audience that they a) deliver their points rapidly and coherently (it's fun to listen to a 1.5 hour podcast on why a movie I didn't want to see is terrible, but it's not as 'useful' a form as what Kermode and Mayo do in 5-10 minutes) and b) understand how to balance their--here I guess I'm speaking more about Kermode--eminent, defensible taste with an understanding of who might realistically see this movie (or in this case, take their kids to see it--and structure their review partly around that. I was always a music guy growing up but Kermode and mubi.com have 'unlocked' movies for me and given me a roadmap to many really enjoyable experiences in the past year.

He mentions perfect movies, listing Godfather Part 2, Toy Story 2 nd says, "like David Cronenberg's Crash." And he says it off-handed as if we take this for granted. Crash was perfect? Perfect what?

Thank you so very muchly for posting these reviews! I love Mark Kermode and am always eager to catch his thoughts on my favorite movies. By any chance, do you have his review of Toy Story 2? I know that was his favorite movie in the Toy Story franchise.

Yeah that was a strange comparison. From toy story 2, Godfather 2 too Crash! Say what

@badhead thanks for this have not heard this review for ages.

When he says "Phone home et!" he sounds like Yoda, lol Either way, he's right. I saw the parallelism between Wall-E and Et. It's totally there.

Good and cute movie, but WALL-E is more like "No. 5" than ET!

no way toy story one is better than 2

They’re about the same overall!

I know he does that a lot, like his opinion is the definitive truth. Cronenberg's Crash ain't close to perfect haha

Mayo was a bit more annoying back then

Toy Story is very good,but it's a bit of the same stuff all over again really.
