Yup, time for another round of Wall-E links:

Rotten Tomatoes: Wall-E
Rotten Tomatoes: Wall-E Forum
Pixar Planet: Blog
Pixar Planet: Wall-E Forums and review links
Pixar Blog (unofficial)

I thought this was a pretty fair, somewhat negative review. It seems to capture the sentiments of most people I know who came out of seeing Wall-E with mixed feelings:

Once WALL-E and Eve arrive on the ship, the story doesn’t have much distance to travel, but ways are found to stretch out the experience - and that’s where “WALL-E” goes wrong. The film loses touch with the poignancy and profundity of the Earth scenes and becomes gimmicky, slapsticky and cute, with a glossy sheen in contrast to the grit of the opening.

However, the movie does right itself, and the power of WALL-E as a character, the poetic figure of the robot drawn to human splendor, remains powerful throughout - and Pixar’s loveliest creation.

Well actually this review was fairly positive overall. Not sure what my friends thought. The only rotten reviews on RT are pretty non-specific in their criticisms or just had an anti-Pixar axe to grind anyway.
