What were your thoughts after seeing the movie Up?
 
Did you like it?
 
Or not?
 
What did really make an impression on you?
 
For me though the beginning is really cool and emotional, but the movie is too fantastic to take it as seriously as to take something out of it. 
 
It was a bit overhyped in my opinion.
 
And for you?

Those gentlemen at Pixar (was it Pixar? They're all the same to me) never seem to miss a step.

The video montage near the beginning was a big downer for me, the rest was sexual chocolate.

It's Pixar. It's hard to hate any of their movies.

Great film.
 
The beginning and ending are phenomenal achievements in animated story telling.
The middle is a entertaining buddy action-adventure comedy, but nothing extremely special.
 
I don't think it was overhyped because the people I talked to enjoyed it a ton, but weren't blown away by it.
 
As I stand, I think it's the best animated film I've seen this year (though I need to see Fantastic Mr. Fox among others before I can confirm that) & one of Pixar's best,  but it's not one of the best animated films of all time...at least not yet.
 
Though I plan to see the film again sometime soon, so I can see whether or not my opinion changes.

I really enjoyed it. I can't think of a single movie or short feature that Pixar has done that I haven't enjoyed.

I think it's the best film Pixar has made... It deals with some heavy themes and I  was really quite touched by it... I didn't care too much for all the shenanigans  in the jungle but it is a kids movie and where most cartoons has silly gags around a superfluous story, this movie used the gags in a setting with a very powerful message.

Wall-e was better, but this is still one of the greatest movies of the decade, to say the least.

Not as good as movie critics thought, though.

It was good, though overrated. I had very high expectations (97% metascore, people raving about how fantastic it was), and I was disappointed. It was a generic kid-friendly family movie, albeit a good one, but not groundbreaking in any respect.

I would like to find the few critics who gave Up a bad review (Stephanie Zackareck, I'm looking at you!!!) and kick them in their puss-bleeding twats!

It was surprisingly hilarious. Pixar seemed to be less funny and more touchy to me these days. So being able to laugh a lot made me enjoy a great deal.

This is true. But not beyond comparison altogether.

Up is a great film. Certainly one of Pixar's strongest. You can tell that they have been very inspired by Miyazaki (Howl's Moving Castle specifically). And that's a big positive as far as I'm concerned. It's a sweet tale.

I thought it was great but one of Pixar's worst in my opinion. The first half was amazing with his wife and all. Although I thought that many of the jokes were like something I'd find in Dreamworks movie.

I did feel the 2nd half was weak when compared to some other of there movies but it was still nothing short of steller, its rare that a animated movie can get you teary eyed the beginning got pretty rough.

I thought it was astoundingly good. Pixar never seems to fail to make meaningfully, ageless and thoroughly entertaining films.

Up was an amazing movie to me. Pixar managed to wow me twice recently with Wall-E and Up, both of which rank right up there with Toy Story and Toy Story 2 as my favorite Pixar movies.

I'm not sure if it is one of Pixar's strongest movies, but it's pretty tight.

I think Up deserves it's place as Best Picture.
 
Best Animated Film has too much a stigma.

i thought it was good too, but i also think it would've been much better if the story was about the journey there instead of them just cutting straight to the destination

Don't get me wrong. It was way above Dreamworks standards. But I didn't really find the movie as funny as many of Pixar's other movies. It was quite emotional in the beginning. And the action was good. Some of the jokes were good but some of them weren't that good in my opinion. Like the "squirrel" joke. It got old after I saw it in the trailer once. Although I will admit I laughed when all the dogs in the aeroplanes messed up because of the squirrel.
