Wall-E is okay but not a masterpiece.

though i have yet to experience Wall•E (probably this thursday), i must say i tingle a bit each time i read a lackluster review.  thanks also to Basil!

roner, ages ago (last summer) you were talking about coming into chicago for a day trip, any chance of that still?  movies in grant park is pretty cool...
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

I'd say it was better than OK, but you're right that it isn't the second coming. Once the story shifts from Earth to outer space I was far less impressed.

1. Johnny Depp is annoying as hell.

I agree 100%. His crazy guy act is just annoying. I have friends who think he's one of the greatest actors ever. That being said I saw a couple of clips of Ed Wood the other day and he doesn't look that bad. I may give that film a shot.

Do that, it's quite a good movie actually. It has Sarah Jessica Parker in it, whom I unpopularly dislike too though :/

Even though this is an unpopular opinion, it is a correct one. She's not very good.

She was great in Footloose. But who wasn't?

I'd say liking SJP was an unpopular opinon, other than Carrie she's completely awful at everything and she's even quite annoying as Carrie.

I haven't seen it since I was little when my sister owned it on beta, but I expect you're right. Heck of a soundtrack though.  ;)

Footloose is a horrible movie

I saw it for the first time at a festival last year early in the morning. Lots of tired people just sitting around, until the ending, where we all jumped up and danced to that song.
But before that (other than the tractor scene and the dance montages) it just went on and on and on.

Not horrible, but boring as hell.
