Much as I hate to say this about the work of my favorite mainstream film critic… Don’t read Roger Ebert’s WALL-E review. It contains a huge spoiler, without any warning! Go see the movie knowing as little about it as possible!

Sigh…unfortunately I already read it.
I should know better than to read reviews of films I’m really looking forward to before I go see them…
Why he couldn’t have put the “or was that a spoiler” thing before the actual spoiler I have no idea.
Thanks for the heads-up. Much appreciated.
He’s been doing that lately… he quoted dialogue from the end of Indy 4.
Stuff like this is why I’ve stopped reading reviews until after I see a film. At that point, the reviewer is helping me process what I’ve seen–which in my mind is the main value of full, written review.
More and more lately I only read reviews of movies I don’t plan to see in theatrical release; with a film like Wall-E, I’m sure I’ll be finding every one I can afterward, to help with digestion.
