Wreck-It Ralph

Recently I saw Wreck-It Ralph, the new Disney movie that's an homage to gamers everywhere. Because I absolutely love video games, this movie was on my must see list pretty much the instant I heard of its existence and I'm here to say that it didn't disappoint.

The movie is about Ralph, a bad guy from the video game Fix-It Felix, which is basically Donkey Kong with different characters. He's tired of being a bad guy and he's tired of being treated with no respect by everyone around him, so one day he decides to leave his game so he can be a hero in another one. The movie is about what happens because of his actions.

The movie is a whole lot of fun, it's even more fun if you're a gamer because there are so many references to video games throughout the movie (obviously) but it's still enjoyable even if you aren't. John C. Reilly does a fantastic job as Ralph. He's funny, sympathetic and it really sounds like he's having a lot of fun in his part. I should also give recognition to Sarah Silverman who does an equally amazing job as Vanellope, who is a rambunctious kid from another video game that Ralph stumbles in to. These two together make for some great and funny moments throughout the movie.

I would highly recommend going to see this movie. It's fun, it's funny and it has a lot of heart. The characters are great, the actors are great and the concept is pretty original. It's a great homage to all things video games and it's definitely worth checking out.
