Wreck-It Ralph

Ratings: 7.2/10

Film Class: B+

Genre: Family Animation

Wreck-It Ralph is an old school video game bad guy who's like a human-version of King Kong. He smashes things, buildings in particular, and the player gets to control Fix-It Felix, the good guy who repairs what Ralph destroys.

Ralph is a lonely envious bad guy who on the game's 30th anniversary decided to change his fate and goes in search a medal - something only heroes can win.

It was fun to watch video game villains come to life, so at least more animated than their usual video game selves - such as the monster in pacman, and street fighter villains M. Bison and Zangief.

Though Ralph isn't your usually good guy, he sure makes a convincing villain trying hard to be good. His problem, actually it isn't his fault, is that he's too "good" a wrecker. *spoilers ahead* However, predictably, you know that wrecking's gonna come to "good" use sooner or later.

He wasn't likable only until the very last part... Concept wise, the fantasy world of video games was ingenious, reminded me a little of Pixar's very own Toy Story franchise. I'm a little conflicted because I didn't like the setting of the plot, why the game Sugar Rush of all games to be the main basis of the plot? But yet I still like the twist.

The twist wouldn't have gelled that well if not for the car racing video game, Sugar Rush.

I thought the movie lacked something, not originality cos they sure have that, not the characters nor the story development, but perhaps the scripting cos nothing was too funny, too brilliantly said or even too memorable for the likes of me.
