Haha I thought the beginning was the best part! It was captivating and enchanting ... I didn't even notice there were no words until they got to the Axiom and people started talking. The beauty of it was that they were able to create such wonderful, deep characters and compelling and fascinating world without words, using simply visuals, music, and robot noises. It was fantastic; I loved it. In my opinion, the scenes with just Wall-E and EVE were much superior to any with humans, regardless of the presence or absence of dialogue. But then, I'm a sucker for a good love story.

But I can definitely see how that might not appeal to everyone. I am a visual learner, after all.
