Looking forward to going up by hallmitchell	May 29th, 2009 07:47:45 AM

I like the fact it doesn't seem to be by hallmitchell	May 29th, 2009 07:48:17 AM
just another animated film about animals.
I don't know... by wampa 1	May 29th, 2009 07:52:59 AM
...but it sure smells good!
Anyone's going to see this, can you let me know... by PennsyDeux	May 29th, 2009 07:53:14 AM
If there's a 'When in Rome' trailer that runs before the movie? It's a Touchstone release, so you'd figure Disney would put it in front of one of its A-1 releases for the whole year. Thanks.

On my part, Not the review. Sounds like a fun movie.
Another year, another lack of animation by Dingbatty	May 29th, 2009 07:59:13 AM
on the big screen from a variety animators who don't produce formulaic CG fluff (continue on with your Pixar/Dreamworks bloc).
Finding Nemo was lame by Rupee88	May 29th, 2009 08:14:09 AM
That's why I don't believe all these glowing up reviews. It's probably good, but no way to be sure as people just love Pixar because it's Pixar. And I don't think that 2D = 3D...I haven't seen this film but it sure made a HUGE difference with Beowulf.
hallmitchell by Dharma4	May 29th, 2009 08:16:06 AM
That is so true. I am tired of all this retarded stupid animation movies that involve animals and shit like that. Thank God Pixar exists. They take a step forward and actually let us have fun with the animation and characters.
John Ratzenberger's in it? by Shut the Fuck up Donny	May 29th, 2009 08:23:26 AM
That's all I needed to know. I'm there.
Rupee88 by filmcoyote	May 29th, 2009 08:40:50 AM
You did read the review right? Capone is saying FOR THE FIRST TIME the 2D version doesn't lose anything from the 3D. ie: any 3D film that has come before it has been made better by 3D, but Up is as great in both formats. He's not saying 2D=3D, in fact he says for all previous films the exact opposiste is true. He's pretty clear on that, can't see how you missed it.
WooHoo! by Col. Tigh-Fighter	May 29th, 2009 08:53:02 AM
Just bring it already! I love me PIXAR :)
PIXAR RULES!!! by Underoos Hero	May 29th, 2009 08:54:35 AM
There are several theaters in my area showing this in 3-D!! Woohoo!!
What a track record, if Pixar closed tomorrow by performingmonkey	May 29th, 2009 09:13:37 AM
Hope they don't close, of course! But they are synonymous with great filmmaking, not just animation (which is second to none, as we all know) and nothing can take that away from them.
Pennsy - Ive seen a couple different When in Rome trailers by ShiftyEyedDog2	May 29th, 2009 09:19:18 AM
I belong to one of those "survey" sites, and sometimes they have us watch early trailers and give feedback/reactions/opinions. I LOVE Kristen Bell, but what I've seen does not make me overly excited about the flick. All the "suitors" are just annoying and caricatures.
Honestly, do Pixar movies need reviews? by gruntybear	May 29th, 2009 09:44:57 AM
Has there ever been a Pixar movie that got a less than stellar review? It just seems completely pointless to write an essay about the Pixar "quality" formula at this point. The films are all of a type; and if you love that "type," it's obvious that you'll be a fanboy for the next remarkably similar product.
Digbatty by Chesterfield Slacks	May 29th, 2009 10:48:20 AM
Sad that there is a ton of great animation worldwide, mainly in short format, that gets no distribution. I collect as much of it as I can. Doesn't stop me from loving what Pixar does. They at least inspire.
grammar, spellcheck, PROOFREAD!! by dancetothebeatofthelivingdead	May 29th, 2009 11:38:54 AM
Is this site getting worse by the day? Have all the reboots, rehashes, sequels, remakes, and reimaginings turned the collective staff brain to mush?
Goin' UP! by FeralAngel	May 29th, 2009 12:32:41 PM
Definitely seeing this flick this weekend. Had my doubts as to whether Pixar was getting a little too artsy-fartsy, but this looks like fun. I already love that dog. And I'm so ready to see an intelligent toon after suffering through that lousy Monsters vs. Aliens crapload. Maybe "Up" will do a little pushing back against the notion that only Dreamworks makes "fun" toons anymore. Sure hope so...
"the message about never giving up on your childhood dreams" by CerebralAssassin	May 29th, 2009 12:47:53 PM
"the message about never giving up on your childhood dreams is front and center here, and that's inspiring as hell. We could all use that reminder on a regular basis." Ha ha, if that's what you thought the message was, then you clearly weren't paying attention. The message is the OPPOSITE of that! The film says (blatantly and obviously if you were you paying attention): "Fuck your childhood dreams. Even if you reach your goal it won't be what you expect it to be. Fuck dreams and have real experiences and have real emotions with the people you love. And, if you don't have anyone to love, love someone new."
Absolutely loved it! by slatefish	May 29th, 2009 01:24:03 PM
This is the movie I wished Pixar had made just for me. Fantastic!
Loved it!!!!! Pixars best to date!!! by millermeusa	May 29th, 2009 01:35:28 PM
the first ten minutes are a tear-jerker indeed, and more adult oriented then previous Pixar products!!!
C'mon Capone... by BlkSamri	May 29th, 2009 01:41:16 PM
Let me first say that Capone, you are my favorite reviewer because I agree with you on damn near EVERY movie and so I read all your reviews. Now having said that, STOP PUTTING SO MUCH OF THE MOVIE IN YOUR REVIEWS!! I have to skip past a huge chunk cuz I don't want to know what's gonna happen scene for scene. Sheesh.
i cared more about a bird in UP than anyone in T4 by Six Demon Bag	May 29th, 2009 01:45:05 PM
and the cloud for that matter.
Up is the best movie of the year. I'm not kidding. by SoylentMean	May 29th, 2009 07:54:30 PM
It's gonna take some kinda act of God to change my mind on that one. I smiled the whole damn movie. Today was a good day at the movies. Drag Me To Hell was awesome as well.
3-D Was A Blast by GoSensGo	May 30th, 2009 10:43:39 AM
I'm gonna miss 3-D when I buy the DVD.
caerlas by caerlas	May 31st, 2009 06:04:57 AM
Saw it yesterday. It had some grown men crying in the theater. I was not one of them, but it was decent. Not my favorite Pixar film. I think Wall-E tops that list.
