re: Wreck it Ralph what did you'll think.

I took my little girls to see it yesterday and I thought it was pretty good. Maybe not quite Toy Story III good, but very 80's nostalgic vibe going on. It's definitely one I'll end up buying to re-watch. It's fun just to watch and figure out the video game references. They nailed every voice-cast with this movie too.

I don't mean to poopoo all over it, it wasn't a bad movie by any means, just didn't seem to have much to it. They could have made some amazing CGI scenery within the video game realm that they just mailed in. I guess for a Disney flick I expected more substance to it, especially being an 80s child that grew up on Atari and quarter arcades.

The Cameos by some of the old school game characters was a highlight, especially as you had to be quick to catch some of em. My favs were:

SPOILER ALERT (I guess)


































-a Pooka and a Fygar (Dig Dug)
-the paddles (Pong)
-Neff (Altered Beast)
-the armored Ostrich Knight (Joust)

and I loved Clyde (Pac-man)as the encounter/support group leader

Says Paperboy was in there, too...I didn't catch him.

That ain't saying much.

I liked the film but I left feeling a little let down. The promos promoted this as a world filled with childhood classics in it. Beyond the first 15 minutes, you really get none of that. The therapy scene that was played to no end in the previews was really the extent of that. Sure we got a Sonic cameo but I was expecting this to be the Roger Rabbit of video games. If you can't afford to include Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, Halo, Donkey Kong, etc. don't bother. It could of held up alright in its own right san established characters.

I really liked the Halo world. Despite hating Jane Lynch with a passion, they really made this work. I just wish we could have scene more worlds besides this and the candy land. While I liked candy land, they spent way too much time there. After 20 minutes I got the idea and hoped to see what other games were in this world.

saw it today with my daughter. i thought it was pretty good. i liked the nostalgic feel to it.

Well, just watched this movie, and I absolutely loved it, one of my Top 5 so far of the year and an absolute shoe-in for the best animated film of the year. Honestly this felt much more like a Pixar film than a Disney one, which is ironic really. This year Pixar made "Brave" which really was a good Disney film and an OK Pixar film. It was completely on Disney's formula and should have been released by them. Not sure why they didn't trade off and just release this under the higher Pixar label and make Brave a classic Disney film.

I really liked the plot, the characters, and the settings. I loved really everything about it. The voice actors were perfectly cast and don't give you the impression that they went after the actor first and the character second like so many digital films do these days. Alan Tudyk was particularly impressive as King Candy and seems as if he's been voice acting for decades. He was honestly on a Mark Hamill level in this film, something I don't say lightly. Its an incredibly perfect film on my nostalgic fantasies.
