Good start, but then it gets ruined

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Definitely one of the best, if not the best, animated movie out there in this day and age.

Wreck-It Ralph is another fantastic animation from Disney. If you are a fan of videogames, you cannot afford to miss this treasure trove of nods and references. Better still, the movie has real heart and soul. And some good laughs to boot.

Movie Review: "Wreck-It Ralph" (2012)The 5th fully-digital animated feature under the label of Disney Animation Studios with support by executive producer John Lasseter and his creative Pixar team workflow machine after the company's 2006 merger with Disney Enterprises presents episodic animations with fairly-animated arcade heroes of the 1980s and 1990s, before home-grown arcade-stations from Nintendo over Sony to Microsoft consoles took over the living rooms of young adults to kill time from overwhelming responsibilities of everyday life in the 21st century of the Digitized."Wreck-It-Ralph" can be seen as mutual effort of the entire Disney Animation team, which choose the unlikely character of Ralph, vocally-performed by uninspired actor John C. Reilly in a sedated do-not-give-anything mode, to go on a journey through the fun-loving world of "The Arcade" ranging from a full-contact highly-weaponized science-fiction ego-shooter scenario over just short-laughter-sharing psychological self-esteem group talks with legendary arcade villains as punch-lining Russian Zangief from Beat'm Up classic "Street Fighter" to partially-wrecked candy-car-racing tracks of teaming-up with glitch character of Vanellope, given voice of at least at vocal-beats-convincing Sarah Silverman to fulfill a destined odyssey by meeting further most popular characters of them all as Super Mario, Sonic The Hedgehog and Pac-Man among many more along the way, when the average family-entertainment-seeking spectator just winks off to the far-less spectacular showdown, keeping their reminiscene of short-lived moments of former childhood arcade memories.The production design by Mike Gabriel stays true to the original arcade games. Nevertheless the hardly-green-lit screenplay by Phil Johnston and Jennifer Lee just adds-on brainstorm after brainstorm into an over-all no-suspense-giving, quick-action-thrills-transcending as unpaced-trigger-laughs-pushing with a pin-pointing anti-hero-saves-the-world storyline of no means but to exercise a daily routine of digital escapologies in nevertheless professionally-executed score music by composer Henry Jackman to serve a 100 Minutes editorial by Tom Mertens, who at least holds together the narrative strings of this beyond-belief diverted animated feature toward a movie house finish-lines of avoiding any Disney embarrassments.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

I'd heard so much about Wreck-It Ralph and how it brought together all these various video game characters from their respective games. I did not see this one in theaters, but I rented it and thought it was a fine non-Pixar film for any Disney or video gamer. I admit that I never got to play very many video games when I was younger, but I recognize most though not all of the characters in this movie if you don't count the main characters. And now they're talking about a sequel which comes out next year. Does that mean more video game characters? I hope so. And maybe I'll watch it.
