Geekatana Movie Review: Wreck It Ralph (2012) Review


Before I get to do a review of Ralph Breaks the Internet I thought it would only be fair that I should do a review of the first movie before it and that movie is none other than Wreck It Ralph. I was supposed to do this days ago but a lot of stuff came up. But hey I'm sure by now I think everyone has seen this movie in theaters or other media source or another.


Since I wanted to give the new movie a fair judgment be comparing it to its predecessor I decided to watch the film again and do a review for my Blog. So with that cleared let's continue on with said Wreck It Ralph review.



Wreck It Ralph is a film that came out back in November 2012 a full six years before its sequel. The story is about Ralph, a video game villain of the classic arcade game is so tired of playing the bad guy wants to be a hero for once and sets out to fulfill his dream, but his quest eventually brings a lot of complication as he meets other characters in his journey and creates havoc in the arcade center.


On a story perspective this blew my expectations since very few times can a video game movie deliver in its film. Each of the plot in the film interweave like a great tapestry that you actually feel yourself hooked on the story right to the very climactic third act of the film.


Sure the plot isn't rock solid and I can nitpick on the flaws like how is a mobile game like Candy Crush doing in an arcade center. But unless you're really nitpicky which I tend to be most of the time you won't mind such flaws cause at the film has a really decent character and storyline.


You really feel for Ralph as he struggles to be a hero cause only heroes are loved by everyone. You feel for the little girl Vanellope that outcast in a racing game. You know where their motivations are coming from and can easily relate to them as they develop as better versions of themselves.


The visuals is nothing new but is done well enough that it still holds up to this day. Sure same of the games are rip off of other existing games of that time but you simply don't care and just roll with it. The audio and the visuals just blends together nicely.


As conclusion Wreck It Ralph is a good video game movie. Sure its not perfect but what it got right makes up more than enough to cover for its flaws. The story, the characters and the plot falls into pieces nicely that both kids and adults can easily get into. if you haven't watch this movie I'd highly recommend it wheteher your into video game movies or not. Of course seeing all those video game characters is always a plus.
