Wreck It Ralph - Page 2

Well, I hope I'll see it eventually. Is it a quick cameo, or is it the type where you can see it clearly?

*The Stryker* · 11-06-2012, 08:42 AM

It's like half a second in a montage. Even then how is a similar looking cabinet a cameo? I really hope nobody actually goes to see the movie for any of the actual cameos or references.

I'll just repost what I said in the other movie thread.

Wreck it Ralph was really good. I really can't bring myself to call it great though. Especially when the movie kinda abandoned the video game gimmick in the last act in favor of candy and food puns. Seemed like they ran out of ideas and the movie itself was running on fumes by the time the final race started.

So yeah. Good not Great.

Oh, I wouldn't see it just for the montages and cameos. I want to see it because it looks pretty good.

The movie was an average kids movie.

It's good and pretty funny, but follows a standard kids movie theme.

Sonic's cameo may have been short but I just love the reference

I'll admit the "twist" in the ending totally caught me off guard.

*oldmanwinters* · 11-12-2012, 05:24 PM

When M.Bison first questioned Ralph about "going Turbo," I totally thought it was an in-joke related to the Street Fighter franchise instead of a critical plot point.

**Jester** · 11-12-2012, 05:27 PM

Yeah, I had to get that explained to me by the movie, too. Bison being the first to use the term didn't help, though.

I saw it last weekend. I absolutely loved it!

I really was surprised by how much I enjoyed this film. I've seen it twice already. I found it to be better than a lot of recent Pixar films which is a shame since it doesn't seem to be performing near as well as it should, just because the "holier than thou" name of "Pixar" wasn't attached to it (both nights I went, the theater was otherwise empty). I still regard "How To Train Your Dragon" as my all time favorite CGI toon movie, but "Wreck It Ralph" is closer towards the top of my list than most recent Pixar films.

Paper Man was awesome. I must be a wimp, because that short (and certain scenes in Ralph itself) actually chocked me up a little.

This was exactly how I felt about it. I had so many people telling me how great the movie was, but I just didn't see it as being great. It was a fun movie. It was enjoyable. But that's it. Any little story twist through out the film just made me go "Yeah, that seems about right."

I love this movie! The figures are very expensive imo, but if they made PVC minifigs, like the little Marvel and DC figures before Imaginext/Playskool took over...although, I'd love to see some Imaginext sets of figures and playsets, like the Toy Story line.

DonatelloNinja82 · 11-19-2012, 07:23 PM

I just saw this movie last weekend and I really enjoyed it. The old video game references and cameos were great...and the twist at the end totally caught me off guard. I'm totally buying this when it comes out on DVD.

Yeah. I just found myself wanting to like it more than I ended up liking it.

I remember just sitting there trying to convince myself that some of the really flat jokes were funny.

*Jephael* · 11-27-2012, 09:01 AM

Well, I gotta say Wreck-It Ralph was awesome! I went to see it last night with my cousin and we loved every second of it! We especially laughed at the scene with the Oreos chanting. Also the part where Ralph was about to sacrifice himself got me pretty choked up.

Sadly I missed the part with the Ninja Turtle arcade cameo. Woulda liked to have seen that. I plan on buying the DVD release when it comes out, so maybe I'll freezeframe the montage in the beginning.

*CyberCubed* · 04-01-2013, 07:49 PM

Saw it for the first time today on blu-ray, yeah it was good.

I do agree that it stopped feeling like a videogame movie and more like a candy-themed movie during the second half. Most of the jokes were about the different candies rather than videogames.

Still it was good, and I loved the scenes of Ralph smashing the Kart, the girl being a glitch and possibly dying, and the king being the evil character from the other game. Also a bit disappointed Ralph didn't get a real medal for saving the game world and creating the light to kill all the bugs with.

Spoiler: It was one awesome moment to another, from seeing the old arcades going through the first sequence (They had the Turtles in Time cabinet!), seeing the homage to the original Donkey Kong arcade. It was a thrilling visual experience, so different from what CGI films look like, combining elements 2D to 3D, learning about the "rules" of this videogame world, and the so many cameos here and everywhere. I must admit I was very impressed with the story, it had some red herrings that were nicely used. I specially liked the scene where King Candy comes to Ralph to tell him about the "truth" of Vanellope, it fooled me and made real painful what Ralph did to protect her. The scene was just intense, and through the film, the interactions between Ralph and Vanellope were nice and poignant too. And talking about King Candy/Turbo, he earned a spot in my pantheon of supervillans. He was just so mean and evil, and very creepy and threatening too. His demise was fitting, but a little unsettling, which was great too. All in all, this film had fun, heart and emotion. Very, very recommended! PD: Also, the short film about paper planes... it was just high art! __________________ "All fathers care for their sons"
