Wreck-It Ralph

About a month ago I went to go see the move 'Wreck-it Ralph', and have failed to submit a review for this movie until now.

Well here it goes.


I came to the movie theater to see Wreck-It Ralph on the fact that the animation style reminded me of Despicable Me, a movie that I absolutely loved. Not to mention it also was video-game based, something I am rather a large fan of and liked the idea of the universe they were in, a certain Toy Story-esque to it, these characters with their own world and life unknown to us who play with them daily and yet have no idea what thy truly are, what our own creations have become.

The movie follows its main character, opening up with a little narration by him as well, Wreck-It Ralph, the bad guy of an old Arcade game who is obviously derived from Donkey Kong, a large villain causing things to fall while a hat wearing hero climbs higher and higher to reach him.

Wreck-It Ralph's job is to break the building every time a human begins the game by inserting a quarter, and then the Hero(Of the game, not the movie), Felix Fix-It Jr., comes in where he uses a magic hammer to fix windows that Ralph breaks. Upon victory of each level Ralph is thrown off the building and crashes into a mud puddle. The other characters look down on him for how he is programmed, he's a bad guy, he wrecks things, and that's that. To add insult to injury, Felix lives in a penthouse  while Ralph lives in the dump. On a pile of bricks. So when our main character wants to change his life after 30 years of mistreatment, I truely can't blame him, I cheer him on.

Now I won't give the whole movie away for you, but to cut it short, this bad guy wishes to change his life and be treated better. When he's made a bet that if he somehow attains a Medal, he gets to live in the penthouse he jumps at it and goes to other Arcade Games to try and get this Medal, mainly Heroe's Duty and through a twist he ends up in a candy go-kart game, Sugar Rush(Which has a lovely little bit of music as its theme I might add).

Now the last main character (In my view) is Vanellope Von Schweetz, a little girl in Sugar Rush who is a glitch, her character was not meant to exist or to be included in the original program and is thus shunned and kept away from the rest of the game at most costs.

A heart warming Journey follows Wreck-It Ralph and Vanellope Von Schweetz to realize both Ralph's dream of a better life, and Vanellope's to become a racer and game avatar of the players for the first time in her life. It is not a large journey, far different from what I expected when I first walked into the movie theater, but the movie was wonderfully paced and has a lasting impression on me.

The characters are downright lovable and the soundtrack isn't half bad either, even if the entire movie feels like its missing something, it has those scenes that are truly incredible and well shown. It made me laugh, cry, wait in suspense, it is a heartwarming and heart-touching movie that I truly suggest seeing if you love arcade games and a good movie. I might be a little generous, but if I look back on the individual parts of this movie, I think it is deserving a 9 out of a 10, but there were a few things that took away from the movie however. Nonetheless, in the end, Supernus Rescenseo gives this movie an 8.5/10, I highly suggest seeing it.
