Plot Summary

Tired of being a video game villain, Wreck-It Ralph yearns to be a good guy like Fix-It Felix. He gets his chance when he sneaks into another game and intends to claim the medal he deserves. But causes chaos and accidentally releases a destructive enemy that puts every game in the arcade in danger.

Now Ralph must rely on a troublemaking young "glitch" named Vanellope von Schweetz, who is from a candy-themed kart racing game and is the only one who can teach Ralph how to be a good guy. Will Ralph be good enough to save the entire arcade before it's "Game Over"?

Review
I appreciate WRECK-IT RALPH, not because of its heartwarming story but because it keeps the nostalgic flavour of video games alive. The art direction, humour, visuals, animation and voice acting are outstanding. The things that interested me are the cameos of old video game characters, such as my favourite, Sonic the Hedgehog. I wish there would be a Hollywood feature adaptation of Sonic that would get made.

For all of you video game lovers, WRECK-IT RALPH is the only one of these kinds of pictures that ever reached the level of greatness, and I find it entertaining.

Star rating: (4/5) Good Movie
