Wreck-It Ralph Review

Justin and I saw Wreck-It Ralph on November 4, 2012!! I LOOOOOOOOOVED this movie!! As many know, I am extremely picky on animated movies and I was absolutely impressed with this. I thought the writing, characters, and voice talents worked perfectly to create something amazing. The visuals in each world were all different which was great to show how video games have changed over time. The movie takes place inside an arcade, and characters jump between games through the various plugs in the arcade. The movie centers around Ralph, who is the main villain of a video-game called Fix-It Felix. He wrecks buildings and Felix fixes them. He has been doing that for 30 years. The problem is, he wants to be seen in a different light. He wants to be the one that wins the medal and be viewed as the hero. He is tried of being the guy thrown off the building into a puddle of mud. After a party celebrating the game's 30th anniversary, he decides that he wants something different. He goes through different worlds like Hero's Duty-which is where he initially goes to gain recognition as a hero and get a medal. This leads to some consequences, and even leads to problems for Fix-It Felix which could result in the game being shut down. Ralph's reputation of wrecking things leads to him crashing into the world of Sugar Rush. Automatically, I loved the set-up of this game with the characters named after candy, and the design of each of the characters. I would play this game for hours if it was available for real. It's awesome!! Ralph is introduced to Venelopee, who appears to be a glitch which means she can't jump between games. Venelopee is my favorite character in this movie. She is so upbeat and optimistic. Ralph's quest actually leads to consequences for the whole arcade, and you see these developments over the course of the movie. I found the Sugar Rush storyline to be absolutely amazing. I loved the twists that resulted at certain points, and I like how each twist showed how much of a good guy Ralph really is. His committment to help Venelopee is what ultimately makes him a hero. The different video game worlds playing a role at the end was awesome to watch as it combined incredible visuals and awesome conclusions for each character. The movie's ability to combine incredible characters, phenomenal writing, tremendous visuals, great voice talents such as John C. Reilly and Sarah Silverman, and positive messages of ultimately realizing that your glitch makes you special and can be a positive make this movie a 5/5!! I'M GONNA WRECK IT!!! The only thing is I hope nobody decides to start calling me Old Ham Hands now. Haha.
