Blurby bit to follow this
Out of curiosity about my own reaction to Wall-E I decided to test something today. I just finished watching a movie I hadn’t seen before: I am Legend. I went into this knowing human pride and mistakes had caused a disaster. I knew Will Smith was all alone trying to survive. I knew it would be depressing.
And it was, all of that.
But I still thoroughly enjoyed the movie. And I think that’s the difference. I feel like I was lied to about Wall-E. Expectation vs Reality and animated, cute betrayal. I don’t have a problem with negative stories but I want to know up front what I’m getting. That is why I didn’t like Wall-E.
