The original Wreck it Ralph was a bit of a surprise home run for me. So, obviously when they announced the sequel I was full of nervous excitement and while it doesn't surpass the original, this is still a lot of fun.
The animation is still great to me, I even liked something near the end that seemed to bug a lot of people. The voice acting is superb. I could listen to Ralph and Vanellope volley back and forth at each other all day. The world building is still great, even if it's not a perfect representation of the Internet but, really, who wants a perfect representation of that?
The biggest flaw the movie has is that it spreads itself too thin for me. It's trying to hit on too many of the Internet things, locals and jokes, leaving it feeling scattered and unfocused. Maybe if it was all focused on the search engine, or the streaming service, or the gaming, or the seedy portions, or shopping, or the Disney empire and its princesses. Not to mention keeping us up to speed with the adventures still happening in the original arcade.
If the movie could have focused on a few things instead of ALL THE THINGS it would have felt much better to me. Even still, it's great fun and worth the time.
