Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018) User Reviews

Surprisingly Strong Sequel

[MovieTim14 · 8/10 · 1 July 2019]

"Ralph Breaks the Internet" truly surprised me. I was resistant to watching it during its theatrical run, despite being a big fan of its predecessor and knowing the pedigree of Walt Disney Animation. The marketing for this movie, which focused heavily on its new internet elements gave me more "Emoji Movie" vibes than classic Disney. "Look, we have Twitter references! Snapchat! Oh, and Star Wars and Disney princesses!" While I'm sure this strategy successfully got the butts of a lot of kids in theaters, it kept the butt of this cynical-but-otherwise-Disney-loving adult, firmly out. So, when I gave "Ralph Breaks the Internet" a watch recently, I was pleasantly surprised to find it contained all the consistent world-building, charming characters, and genuine heart of the original.

The sequel finds Ralph, and his best friend Vanellope living a charmed but otherwise stagnant life after the events of the first movie. While this stagnancy doesn't bother Ralph in the slightest, Vanellope (in true Disney princess fashion), makes it clear she wants more, and it's this tension that forms the root of the struggle of the story, including causing the catalyst that sends them on their journey to the internet.

I found myself as charmed by the movie's handling of the physical manifestation of the internet as I did by the original's handling of the lives of video game characters. (Side note: although the focus isn't nearly as high on video games as the original, there are still some fun elements there, such as musings on the grooming habits of a certain "Street Fighter" character.) The internet is a living world here, and the filmmakers clearly thought about all the ways they could have its well-known quirks inhabit themselves in the form of characters. Standouts for me were the pop-up street salesmen that aggressively touted their click-bait articles, and the search-engine worm character whose auto-fill was "a tad aggressive."

More than the handling of the world though, what I found truly surprising and compelling about this movie were its themes and the way it handled them. "Wreck-It Ralph" was a movie about identity and self-acceptance. "Ralph Breaks the Internet," far from being the cheap cash grab I thought it would be, actually continues those themes in ways I didn't expect, ways that I even think might even be new and challenging for kids.

Overall, "Ralph Breaks the Internet" was a much more worthy successor to the original film than I anticipated. If you're looking for a fun, humorous, imaginative movie that you can turn your brain off for, it provides all the necessary thrills. But it rarely loses sight of the characters and the heart that make these particular thrills so special.

Stunning and hilarious but ultimately a let down for me

[Thekeybaldemasterrises · 6/10 · 21 November 2018]

Wreck it Ralph 2: I don't wanna be negative Nancy on this one but I have to be honest. Wreck it Ralph 2 or Ralph Breaks the Internet, was a let down for me. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of good stuff in this movie, but in the end it fell short. It didn't deliver the promise of a true sequel to the things I personally enjoyed about the first film. It actually made me wonder if a sequel was even a good idea to begin with. The story tackles some real questions about friendships and growing up but not in a very comforting way. It makes me worry if this is not the best movie to send a message like this to younger audiences. Disney is known for being subtle when it comes to real world lessons but they've been more on the nose recently and it's starting to show some cracks. The movie doesn't carry over fun characters like Felix or Calhoun for anything more than cameos and that was super disappointing. They're replaced by new supporting characters like Gal Gadot's Shank and while the character design is spot on , she doesn't really add much to the story other than to move Vanellope's character along. All the best parts are in the trailers, in particular the Disney Princess cameos which is still hilarious but would've been more impactful if you didn't anticipate the jokes they had already shown. I actually hated the way they treated Ralph and Vanellope's characters in this movie. Granted they needed new obstacles for their relationship but it's almost like they're totally different characters from the last movie. Their personalities are inconsistent and I personally felt they said things that were totally out of character. It's hard to not like parts of this movie as it displays some stunning animation and carries plenty of good humor to keep you entertained. I just had to be straight up about how disappointed I was with this one. The first movie was appealing to me because of its love letter to gamers and the retro nostalgia in all of us who grew up with arcades and old school gaming. Yet at the center of it is a nice story about outcasts and accepting yourself for who you are. This movie took that away from me a little bit and I'm bummed I didn't love this movie more. It tried something different but it ultimately got too realistic for me and it made me emotionally unsettled. But not in the right ways. I still recommend you go see it as it has awesome animation and fantastic jokes but I don't know if I would buy this one. I'd like to just pretend it ends with the first movie. 6/10.

Decent but not as strong as the original

[jdthird · 6/10 · 22 November 2018]

I'll avoid spoilers here and keep it simple. The original movie is one of my favorites, it stands up to repeated viewing, was excellent in pace and composition. It flowed well, consistently, didn't try to do too much at once. The story was excellent, the voice acting was outstanding.

The sequel here - some of the best parts unfortunately were what we saw in trailers, as it often is. That's not to say there aren't other funny parts - there are. But overall it just left me, and my son, with the impression of them trying to cram far too many bits into the movie. It really stuttered along in parts.

We had a lot of eye rolling at the deluge of Disney when they first got to "the internet" and began looking around. This was the first part for us that started to detract from the story, which is, at it's core, actually an EXCELLENT story.

I wish they had focused more on what made the story flow well, what brought it out the best, rather than just try to cram as many bit part cameos as they could from other Disney franchises.

Voice acting was again well done. I think this would have been a much better movie had more things ended up on the cutting room floor, but it's at least worth seeing once. I'm sure we'll get it on blu-ray when it comes out, but we won't watch it nearly as much as we did the original.

Just an advertisement

[TheBigSick · 25 November 2018]

Someone says that this "Ralph Breaks the Internet" is the worst Disney film. I cannot agree because it is not even a film. There is no plot at all. The first half displays some of the Internet products like eBay, YouTube, instagram, etc. The second half shows off the asset of Disney, such as Marvel, Star Wars and Disney princesses. In some sense, this is just a advertisement rather than a film. I do not know how much eBay, Google or Facebook pay Disney, but it is awful to see commercials all through the film.

Ralph Breaks the Internet

[JoBloTheMovieCritic · 7/10 · 20 July 2019]

7/10 - very original and creative, but not quite as good as its predecessor

Fun fun fun, really.

[joanacatbagan · 7/10 · 23 February 2019]

The highlight of this movie was the Disney Princesses and the Shank scenes

Ralph's insecurities and destructive neediness turning into a huge, raging monster made of Ralph copies was pretty great too

It's....not that bad....but not that good

[Reckno64 · 6/10 · 24 August 2019]

It was ok in my opinion. A lot of people hated it for obvious reasons, and I kind of hated it too at times, but at other times I was laughing my ass off! There were some really clever jokes in this movie, and I don't want to undermine any of them. Clearly there was some effort put into it, but the story definitely suffered (I did not like how it ended and both Vanellope and Ralph seemed as though their characters regressed in this film. Definitely NOT a good thing....). It did feel like a big advertisement too, but still better than the Emoji movie. At least the "advertisements" were used for something more in this movie.

Overall, it was an ok movie. Worth the watch if you aren't looking for anything incredible, but it's a big step down from the first movie. I don't recommend if you really enjoyed the first film.

What planet are people living on? This was brilliant on all levels.

[Bydey · 9/10 · 28 September 2019]

I am an internet technician. I deal with wifi and internet everyday of life and this movie had me in stitches. The attention to detail was out of this world and the online humor was just pure class.

I rated this a 9 out of 10. Not many movies get that from me let me tell you that but for the pure entertainment that it brought to me and my family when we watched it I just simply had to give it.

P.S. I have never seen the first movie and quite personally I hate when people rate movies based on the original. That's not what IMDB should be about.

Dont listen to all the negativity. This is cinema at it's best. Theres something it for everyone.

The part that everyone seems to be hating on (all the disney characters scene) I thought was excellent. I have a 3 year old daughter that is obsessed with all these characters and I known them all well. It was refreshing to see such a different take on all of them. Some of the the hashtags were brilliant.

People are lost in this world I think. Theres no way anyone could rate this lower than a 5. If so you dont deserve to be reviewing movies.

Hope you enjoy.

better than most sequels

[demonsquipster · 7/10 · 6 October 2019]

This movie is much more self-aware than I had expected. I wasn't quite sure how they'd handle the concept of the internet, based on how they handled the arcade in the first movie, but I think it was handled very well, and it feels much more original than most Disney movies lately. it's rather entertaining, even if it's quick to reach for a laugh before it handles anything else. I love how the movie handles more serious topics such as cyberbullying and the toxicity of dependency, but it handles it in a way children can understand as well. it may not be as great as the original, and it may be much more predictable, but it's still a decent movie, and good enough for a rewatch.

Surprised me, a great movie! (A review from an 18 year old)

[luke87789 · 10/10 · 21 November 2018]

No spoilers, don't worry. I'll make another review if I want to talk about those. I'll start this off by saying I'm a pretty big Disney fan- this, however, doesn't get in the way of how I take in their movies. They've had their fair share of blunders in the past. I walked into this movie with moderate expectations- it is a modern Disney movie, but that also means it's typically predictable. Not only this, but it's about the internet, and we all know how movies portray the internet. Memes are funny!!!!! Right kids? But this... this was something else. I'd also like to mention that I'm 18, and use Reddit and Twitter quite often.

The internet world they made was incredible. Any questions I had about it were answered, it all made sense. The jokes kept coming and landed every time, it was nonstop for me. Some adults may not get them, of course, since some were referencing actual internet culture- which surprised me. They obviously consulted some actual teenagers and people who knew about this kind of stuff, not just the typical "hey kids like X, Y, and Z right!?" Even the excuses given for sharing videos made sense- instead of "hey look at this funny meme!!! It's funny because it's a cat or goat!", the excuse given was nostalgia for a retro game.

The music was phenomenal, especially the song in the second half of the movie (you'll know the one), it utilizes older sounds with a modern spin (kind of hard to explain). There's plenty for both kids AND adults to enjoy, and for someone like me (an avid consumer of internet content), it hit all the right marks. I did like the first movie, but this one was so energetic and fun that it surpasses it. Will it be outdated in a few years? I don't think so, I do think it perfectly encapsulates the internet. Will it be outdated in 10+ years? Since the world is constantly changing, probably. Eventually sites we use today will be long gone and replaced. But for now, this movie gives a perfect representation of the internet and makes for an amazing movie. I give it a solid 10/10.

For anyone wanting an adults perspective, I went with my parents, cousins, and even my grandmother. My parents got most of the jokes (if not all) as they should have. My grandma thought it was fun and energetic, but did miss a few references (though she did get more then I assumed she would, as news stations like to report on "hip new internet trends"). Overall enjoyable for the whole family! Go see it!

Sad but true

[panweiming · 7/10 · 25 February 2019]

In its funny and colourful shell, the movie reminded me 2 truths: a. "you can't keep a relationship without compromising your own dream or lifestyle"; b. the majority of people always enjoy watching others hurt or being stupid. So sad yet true.

This was a satisfying watch.

[Animany94 · 9/10 · 4 November 2019]

While I do think it overall lacks a little of the predecessor's character developement, I do think it managed to pick itself up as the movie progressed. The beginning of the movie seemed like a cliched and predictable plot of finding something important to fix something.

BUT, like I said, the movie makes up for it as it progresses, because when Ralph and Venellope break through to the internet it really gets interesting. We get an amazing interpretation of the internet with everything from internet culture, personifications of well known web-sites, viruses and search engines of many kinds.

And you can say what you want about the cameos of the Disney Princesses, but I thought they were hilarious! They do help out getting Venellope's character a purpose of her own instead of just letting her be left with that tiresome plot of finding that important thing. Disney has in recent years done a lot of self-referencing comedy which sometimes work and other times doesn't, but this one works all the way.

And like Venellope, Ralph gets a very well handled character arc which comes into fruition the more the movie progresses, so as a sequel to Wreck-It-Ralph that focuses on the friendship between those two characters, I think it managed to keep that spirit while expanding on the world of video games.

It may be lacking in the writing in the beginning and some of the earlier characters don't have much to do, but it was a satisfying continuation with high entertainment value.

Ralph Wrecks the Internet

[questl-18592 · 7/10 · 9 November 2019]

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.

It seems like an opportunity lost

[AlsExGal · 5/10 · 8 December 2018]

As a standalone film this was funny and nice to look at, but as a sequel it was terrible. Thus overall it was average. Wreck it Ralph is one of my favorite animated films - it managed to be an homage to retro gaming whilst telling a story about a misguided but loveable 'bad guy' finding out what really matters in life.

Ralph Breaks The Internet undoes all the good the first one did - Ralph is now an abusive (or should I say 'insecure') friend who has not one, but TWO cliche 'We were best friends and everything was perfect but now you did something that's upset me so I'm going to walk away and DON'T FOLLOW ME moments'. The film lacks any subtletly in dealing with its themes of toxic relationships (both personal and over the internet), and is far more comfortable in its amusing Internet references than it is in trying to make a statement.

There were so many missed opportunities to link it with the first film. For example, it is made clear that the allure of modern games is that they're constantly being updated and feel new. This was the perfect chance for the film to show that retro games, that always stay the same and live in our memory, have merit too. But nope, that didn't happen. To me, it feels like a Disney exec wanted to tell a story of the dangers / joys of the internet, and the dangers / joys of clingy friendships, but forced these messages into Wreck it Ralph where it just doesn't fit. It's used as a vehicle for this message, weaving its way around a bombardment of internet references in trying to do so.

I can understand why people enjoyed it - I laughed a lot during the first half, and one or two of the emotional moments were quite powerful. But in lacking any nuance or any reverence to the first film, I cannot recommend it to fans of the first.

The worst Disney movie ever!

[windywindychen · 28 November 2018]

I personally don't know this is the second movie. There is no info from the name or something to tell the audience this is the second film. Some characters are unclear and focusing. The director just assume everyone know the character because all of the audience watch the first film. I fell asleep at the middle of the movie and hoping to end the movie soon. This movie is not for kids. Basically the movie is telling the audience to follow your dream and don't get a f* about your hometown. And oh, my friend work hard to help me? Go F* yourself I don't care. I'm staying in the new town and a friend shouldn't stop me to chasing my dream. I'm sorry for the 10s kids. No more magic, no more love, no more advanture in Disney movie, but you can get advertisement tho.

A so-so sequel

[Rectangular_businessman · 6/10 · 3 April 2020]

It had its moments, but it wasn't as good and charming as the first movie.

Good But Not Amazing

[kaelynkhowe · 7/10 · 8 March 2019]

I thought the movie was very cool. It was interesting to see aspects of the real world put into an animation film. I also thought it was interesting to see different characters from other animated movies combined into this one. Excluding the first movie I think this movie was very entertaining and full of action. However, when comparing it to the first movie, this one seems a bit dull? Don't get me wrong, it had a lot of good moments but I just feel as though so much happened yet nothing happened at all? It's always hard to create a second movie when the first one did so good because everyone is automatically going to compare to see if the next one is up to par and does just as well if not better. The story line was based off of the fact that the steering wheel of the game broke and they went on a mission to get it back, but it mainly ended up just being all about the toxic friendship both Venelope and Ralph have. Not a horrible concept, I just think the movie could've added more depth into other things like what was going on back in the arcade with the other characters. All in all I did enjoy the movie and it was a unique idea and the animation was incredible! I would recommend seeing it, just keep your expectations a tad lower!

Good Kid's Movie That Parents Will Enjoy Too!

[Rhiannon_Bentley · 7/10 · 20 November 2019]

If you have a young child, you've probably seen every animated movie ever made, and you know some of truly awful. Ralph Breaks the Internet thoughtfully interpreted the internet in a way that was clever and will be appreciated by adults.The feminist take on Disney Princesses was long overdue! It dragged a bit at the end, but overall there was enough here to make watching another kid's movie a little less of a chore.

Pretty decent Disney movie

[natevarela · 8/10 · 19 December 2018]

This movie was honestly a great sequel to the first movie. It had a decent plot line, and I loved the part with the princesses, that really cracked me up in the theater. This movie was great overall. The only thing I didn't like is that Vanelope totally abandons her game halfway through. I thought the whole point of the movie was to save her game from being taken away. But other than that, great movie. Good job Disney

Little more than the sum of its parts...

[asp5197 · 6/10 · 21 November 2018]

I wanna start by saying Wreck It Ralph is far and away my favorite Disney movie in recent years. However I didn't have very high hopes for this to begin with... the princesses stole the show but otherwise the trailers made it look like Disney stealing the LEGO Movie's thunder with endless cameos and cheap jokes.

It ended up being pretty much just that... a bunch of cheap internet jokes thinly wrapped around a confusing plot and a really lousy ending that probably sounded much better on a written script, one with an enormous plot hole that may undo the entire plot... ... ... ... ... ... They really expect us to believe after going through all of that to save Sugar Rush, Vanellope is gonna go Turbo? She says players won't miss her because she's one of 16 racers, but her likeness is literally on the side of the cabinet and dialogue at the very beginning establish that she's the favorite racer.

Sorry, it was honestly very funny, but far from a worthy sequel.

6/10

Creative, funny, touching, a brilliant film

[tom-gillott · 10/10 · 3 August 2019]

I don't know why everyone is slating this film! I thought it was hugely creative and beautifully animated, it made me laugh out loud and brought a tear to my eye. It just ticked all the boxes! Tom, 25

This sequel to 2012's 'Wreck it Ralph' broke my heart. It was not good.

[ironhorse_iv · 7/10 · 27 January 2019]

While this 57th animation motion picture from Walt Disney Animation Studios was not as socially annoying like Sony Picture Animation's 2017's similar premise flick, 'the Emoji Movie' was. There was still many flaws. Let's start with the poorly written story. From all the three different scripts, the filmmakers, Rich Moore, Phil Johnston & their crew can pick from. They chose the wrong one. Much of this movie's plot is very similar to the first flick, in which, a main character is sick of their game, only to leave, cause chaotic damage to their surroundings, find themselves, & then step up to undo their mistakes. The only different is that, instead of going into other video game realms; it's now, on the over commercialism & toxic internet. It sucks. Don't get me wrong, if the whole focus of the film was about Wreck it Ralph (Voiced by John C. Reilly) & Vanellope von Schweetz (Voiced by Sarah Silverman) having to leave the nostalgia of arcade games to the current landscape of online gaming, in order to make enough money to buy parts for Sugar Rush. Maybe, I wouldn't be so hard on the film, but however, the movie doesn't do that. It abandoned the video game aspect that made the first movie, so endearing & instead, focus on stupid viral video meme culture & the blatant and shameless filler product placement of the Disney brand. All the inclusion of Star Wars, Disney Princesses and Marvel Characters don't really add much to the main plot. Nor does all these connections really related to the gaming world. It's no 'Kingdom Hearts', that's for sure. To add on that, I found the parts of the film involves Ralph making viral internet videos, highly annoying and not that accurate. Getting likes & views on any video sharing platform is not as profitable as it once was. There was reasons for that, such as copyright laws & companies not wanting to put their ads on anything that can hurt their image. Even if Ralph get enough hearts, most likely, the profit for those videos would go to the developer of the game rather than the titular character, himself. Also, if it did happen, how does that even work; is it a "paper man in a paper house" situation? To us, both the video game characters and people are CGI; however, in universe, are people seeing Ralph's viral videos as a computer character or a person dressed as Ralph? It's really jarring & confusing. Continuing on that, the money made from ad revenue is not easy to access within a common days. Normally, it goes to your direct deposit or written in check within a few weeks. It's never made out to anybody who doesn't have a bank account at all. However, the shameless prostituting to leech off of dumb internet meme culture is far from the worst thing, Ralph does in this film. Toward the end, he does something really awful, that seems out of character that is not redeemable at all. His endangerment with Vanellope really took me, out of the movie. I wouldn't root for this guy, anymore! Not only that, but in-story, Ralph probably doom himself, as well; now since, his image is known as a very dangerous computer virus. I doubt anybody will play his game, any longer. Despite that, even if, he didn't do anything cringe-worthy. I found his final decision, to allow Vanellope to continue on with her dangerous and destructive path. Not a great message at all. Look, I get that we should allow love ones, room for themselves; but honestly, would you allow them to join a dangerous gang, because that is what they wants!? I doubt that. Nevertheless, that's not the only problem, I have with this subplot. It's the fact that Vanellope abandoned the quest to save her game, midway through the film. This action from her, is very disturbing. I get that, she doesn't really like, anybody from Sugar Rush, as they were former tormentors, but she has to take responsibility for her actions. After all, she was the one that overrides the player control, resulting in her cabinet's steering wheel being broken. Not only that, but she is the ruler of that place. She can't abandoned her kingdom on the doorstep of staying unplug. Having her quit and go hang out at another game, because it's new & fun, is just not a good message for a children. Even if Ralph get enough money for the part. Her absent might still doom the game. Unlike her lame excuse, I believe the gamers would probably notice her missing. After all, she's the one with the really cool super teleportation move. Not only that, her face is all over the game's cabinet. Nevertheless, I also hate seeing that none of the characters care to abide to any of the in-universal rules. Everybody seem cool about anybody going 'Turbo', nowadays, even if it could end, with all their games being shut down. It kinda contradict the moral message of the first movie. I wish the sequel would focus more, on something else. A better message. Nevertheless, the movie does have redeeming qualities. The animation is nice to look at. It has decent voice acting; including the returning cast & the new inductees. Even the cameos were well done. However, I hate that some supporting cast were demoted to extra. As for the humor. The Meta Disney Jokes were funny. The expense on the internet not as much. Look, I know that this PG movie can't go to the crazy and insane jokes that the internet has, but many of film's meme jokes will lose their relevance & will feel dated in the next couple of years. Despite that, overall: While, this flick is not a total wreck. This sequel just did not live up to the expectation that I felt a good movie like this, deserved. It kinda bytes. It could had been better.

Seem like the only person that likes this movie

[katgirl-21381 · 9/10 · 31 December 2018]

I get that everyone felt that it was just one big advertisement. But its the Internet, all those things are literally on the Internet! I like the way they interpreted how the internet looks like if they were actual beings. My particular favourite part is the disney princesses, its Disney, I don't see why they can't use their own characters.

OK but Somewhat Underwhelming Sequel

[bastille-852-731547 · 6/10 · 24 November 2018]

I really enjoyed the first "Wreck-It Ralph" movie, and was looking forward to this sequel. While it's amusing enough and inoffensive, it's certainly a bit underwhelming compared to the original. It's great to see John C. Reilly and Sarah Silverman's undeniable voice talent back on the big screen, and the film admittedly does have a good concept: a plot structured around Ralph and Vanellope heading to the internet to find a missing part for the latter's "Sugar Rush" game. The animation is generally pretty good, and there's a fair amount of reasonably fun humor. While some of the jokes don't really work (Ralph asking if goggles are sold at "Google,") many do.

The main problems with the movie are two-fold: its attempt at messaging satire over the potential dangers of the internet comes off as too heavy-handed and surface-level, and the film can sometimes feel repetitive. The film attempts to show excessive fame on the internet as a (rightly) dangerous force, but it borders on being preachy while trying to do so. Additionally, many of the film's attempts at satire of internet and pop culture do come off as too undeveloped. Just like "Ready Player One" (a film I did not like,) the filmmakers here attempt to go for quantity rather than quality when dissecting pop culture references. Just having blue birds that make tweeting noises to take a jab at Twitter isn't particularly original or funny. The pop culture jokes are better than "Ready Player One," but certainly not as profound as the first "Wreck-It Ralph," where they were more developed (such as the Q-Bert scene.) I also thought the new characters weren't all that interesting. The Slaughter Race game and Gal Gadot's character felt fairly meh, and simply don't compare to "Hero's Duty" and Jane Lynch's character in the first film.

It's certainly not bad, but ultimately "Ralph Breaks the Internet" is a slight miss. If you have kids that are clamoring to go, it could make a OK family matinee, but all others (including fans of the first movie) can wait to rent this. 6/10

The Internet may have broken Ralph on this one

[Mr-Fusion · 5/10 · 20 June 2019]

"Ralph Breaks the Internet" seems like the poster child for "what could've been". I like the concept, and there are a couple of good laughs, but the execution is atrocious. I was really into the opening 30 minutes or so (everything inside the arcade is fun) but as soon as they actually make it onto the Internet, it's a downward tumble.

Not gonna lie, I'm disappointed on almost every level. What was heartwarming about the original "Wreck-It Ralph" is lost here. Yeah, it may be ambitious, but it's a waste of the Ralph/Vanellope relationship, the inherent humor of the arcade culture is gone and Disney hijacked the movie for their own (horrifying) studio marketing. Seriously, the Rodent's footprint is massive in this movie.
