See it in English. Idk about the french version, but the english one is spot on. Some of the best voice acting I ever heard, which really wasn't one of the thing ai expected to like about the movie!

Re: Wreck-it-Ralph

I'd can honestly say this is probably the best movie made since I was born.

Obviously it's a matter of opinion, but do you realize how bold of a statement this is? lol

Ehh, doesn't look that great to me. "omg video game references i play that game too" doesn't really get the chuckles from me; this is mainly the reason as to why I'm not lookin' forward to when they stop remaking/rebooting 80's things and move onto the 90's and everyone my age is gonna be like "haha nostalgia best movie 10/10" and I will be upset. Obviously I hope I'm wrong and that it'll be a good movie but ehh. I'll watch it eventually probably but ain't no rush.

I'm in the same boat. It looks like it's worth seeing, but if I'm spending money on a movie based on things I've heard and the trailers, I'm gonna spend it on Cloud Atlas.

Re: Wreck-it-Ralph

There's still so much going on in this movie that is done right, though. It's not all about showing characters of Street Fighter walking in the background. Even if the cameos last a few seconds, they really have a lot of thought put into them. Everything just fits. For example, the fact that video game characters are comedians in the game just makes the whole gaming universe seem so much more vibrant and... real, if you think about it! Ryu and Ken talking about having a beer after the fight? I mean, that's both funny and really deep. And it only lasts 2 seconds on screen; people laugh at it and forget. But if you know about gaming history, the conventions, the successes and the fails, or if you just happen to be able to see how much this could mean in real life, this really expands your horizons. It's just like Toy Story - what if our heroes went with their own life after we leave the game? It makes you wonder a lot, and the bond you're developing between yourself and these fictional characters only gets stronger - which is a good thing!

We're all grown-ups and we all know that none of that is for real, but it's a good practice of the mind. Hey, what if we were video game characters ourselves who didn't figure out what was going on? We could even have that reflexion after watching Wreck-it Ralph.

Of course, none of that is spoken about in the film, and that's probably for the best. That's pushing the limits of a family flick way too far, I admit. This is indeed another Disney film where you learn about being yourself and not being scared, etc... What I liked about it was the fact that this movie is almost the best at everything it attempts, at least, to me.

- If you're looking for amazing 3D animation that is both stylish and polished, this is the movie to see.
- If you're looking for brilliant voice acting, this is the movie to see.
- If you're looking for an impressively coherent yet fresh take on the arcade world, this is the movie to see.
- If you're looking for a good laugh in general, this is the movie to see.
- If you're looking for a movie with heart, for a movie which reflects a producer's passion for a subject, this is the movie to see.
- If you're looking for product placement done right in a movie, this is the movie to see.
- If you're posting under the age of 13, your profile will unfortunately have to be banned. It's the law.

tl;dr Yeah, it's product placement from 80's stuff, but there's so much more going on in here you could easily go to the movie 3 times for a different reason every time.

Re: Wreck-it-Ralph

Not one complaint, which I honestly don't think i've ever said about a movie haha

Nice revival, Disney

also, this is coming from someone who knows ****ing nothing about older video games and didn't get more than a couple of references out of the movie

Imo it wasn't that close to just being tons of references.
Sure it had many but, it was a whole new world to me.
I think MarioNintendo explains things nicely~

I only knew like 6 game characters before the movie. woop

I honestly didn't even know the movie was in production; I was caught offgaurd and didn't really know what to expect. I just tagged along with my friends and they revealed nothing about the movie to me.
I had no idea it was going to be about video games, or even be CG; I had no idea that it was going to be the greatest movie I will ever see.

But ye', just go watch it sometime~

Re: Wreck-it-Ralph

Has anyone seen this in 3D? I'm just curious if I spend the extra money for 3D, and if it really "pops" or is it kinda flat?

I saw it in 2D - I recommend see'n it in 2D. Then again I have never been much of a fan of 3D

Re: Wreck-it-Ralph

Saw it in 3D, can't say they used the effect much but the landscapes did look deeper, if that makes sense. It didn't hurt the eyes, at least. 2D should do.

Yup. That makes sense. I'll probably see in 2D then.

Re: Wreck-it-Ralph

Loved it.

My friends and I are also big fans of Check It Out, which also stars John C. Reilly, the voice of Wreck-it Ralph. I swear to God, everyone in the theater probably hated my one friend who, after Ralph would say anything, immediately repeated what was just said in a Steve Brule voice.

Like, during the opening monologue, I had to put up with:

"Who cares about your dingus hammer you big dummy, I don't care, it's just a hammer, how about you frix me up a prizza?"

Surprisingly, it didn't ruin the movie for me.
