Wall-E Review

Rating: 4/5!

Pixar never fails to deliver and delivery it does this time with Wall-E. There's hardly any dialogue in the movie yet it is able to relay an amazing amount of emotions from a very "human" Wall-E. There're funny moments and touching moments. Recommended to watch it with someone you like :p

If you can only catch one movie this weekend, make it Wall-E! ^ ^

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Review

Rating: 2/5

Its not THAT bad actually if you were watching this on TV on Cartoon Network. But it definitely did not live up to all that hype as a movie.

Visuals aren't much different from what you can find on most animated series these days. The cinematics are pretty good of course coming from Lucas, but thats about it really. Nothing to wow about here.

Voice acting was pretty bland and the boring dialogue didn't really help inject life into the characters.

The story was straightforward with no hidden surprises, the usual good guys vs bad guys setup. Audiences were thrown into the middle of the story trying to make sense of how it all fit into the new Trilogy. Perhaps a marketing strategy to make you go back and buy the trilogy >..< I felt that some background story would have helped run everyone in. A more satisfying ending to the conclusion of the Clone Wars would also have been in order (imagine all the silly droids being blasted into oblivion). The way the story ended left me wondering if this was really the key to the end of the clone wars (a stinky larvae???). Kinda anti-climax.

No spoilers so far I hope. Anyway, will be catching Wall-E next, it can't be worse!
