Re: Wreck it Ralph: Im gonna wreck it!
So shall we call it the best attempt of Mainstream to portray videogames after the failure of Level Up, and bad Videogame to Movie Adaptions (except Tomb Raider and Resident Evil).

Re: Wreck it Ralph: Im gonna wreck it!
Nope. It completely DOMINATES Resident evil. Perhaps the only movie series where the plot is DUMBER then in the games.

Re: Wreck it Ralph: Im gonna wreck it!
Saw it, loved it.
SpoilerI was quite surprised by how much time was spent in Sugar Rush though. After seeing the movie it makes sense, but I didn't realise, at the time, that about half the time would be spent there!

Re: Wreck it Ralph: Im gonna wreck it!
So I watched it, I thought it was ok.
SpoilerI'm not exactly a fan of the precocious child stereotype, so right off the bat one of the main characters did nothing for me. Oh I thought her plight was interesting enough, but I never really found her funny, or all that interesting.
I will say though, I thought the reason why she couldn't race given by the Candy King guy was very interesting and had a lot of potential. I liked the fact that it could take things into an entirely new direction that sometimes it actually is best not to get what you want and showing her grow up with that, maybe through the development of the story just allow her to race off hours or something.
But no, King was a lying narcissistic villain and all the nuance of the scenario was destroyed. Now don't get me wrong the scene where he broke the car was great, I was just hoping they'd roll with that angle instead of the return of a generic good vs evil plot.
Also, didn't particularly care about the shoehorned in romance other than the fact it allowed a few more jokes from Fix-it Jr.

Re: Wreck it Ralph: Im gonna wreck it!
SpoilerIndeed. I think another ten, twenty minutes of game hopping would have been good. That Ralph hit, what, one and a half games for his medal is kinda lame. Too coincidental, I think.
I think this is intentional. You're not supposed to like Vanellope, at all. She's rude, arrogant, childish, and insulting. It's played to the hilt, and they even show that she is aware of it ("One more, one more!"). It's a defense mechanism, and while that trait is stupid, what it implies helps the character a bit.
Although yeah she sucked.
I will say though, I thought the reason why she couldn't race given by the Candy King guy was very interesting and had a lot of potential. I liked the fact that it could take things into an entirely new direction that sometimes it actually is best not to get what you want and showing her grow up with that, maybe through the development of the story just allow her to race off hours or something.
But no, King was a lying narcissistic villain and all the nuance of the scenario was destroyed. Now don't get me wrong the scene where he broke the car was great, I was just hoping they'd roll with that angle instead of the return of a generic good vs evil plot.
Honestly, I would have liked Ralph to try and talk to her. Not just have a Coincidental Moment where she sees the medal and resolves never to trust him again. Have him explain what happens, have her go through with it anyway, and let there be fallout.

Re: Wreck it Ralph: Im gonna wreck it!
Spoiler
i didn't see any ponies in Sugar Rush - it's basically Mario Kart with a Tastes Like Diabetes gloss over it. So it's more of a commentary that 'guys will play racing games'. The basic concept/plot has been in development hell since the 80s or 90's...I know bronies hunger for more widespread recognition/success, but I think you're jumping at straws here.

Re: Wreck it Ralph: Im gonna wreck it!
Nope. Two completly different things, two different reasons. Actualy, going by the sorta Anime-esqu charecters and the strange, presumably translated names, I would suppose that it is, if anything, a referance to the wave of Japan-interested youth that sprung up a decade ago.
Besides, Disney knows about 30+ year old fans. A good amount of there planning revolves around the people who watched there movies twenty years ago to bring in there kids and buy merch and such. Case in point, they can show the Lion King on the big screen again, and people will come and sit down and watch the same movie and laugh and smile even if nothing has realy changed.
I admit, I laughed.

Re: Wreck it Ralph: Im gonna wreck it!
Actually, if that was the intention, props to Disney for doing so in such a subtle manner.
Of course, now I am going to be looking for a Totoro reference when I re-watch that film. Mostly because of John Lassetter, but now because of this conversation.
Thanks internets!~~Courage is not the lack of fear~~

Re: Wreck it Ralph: Im gonna wreck it!
Just saw it. I suspect my reaction is fairly typical in here.
SpoilerIn short, I liked it, but wasn't as thrilled as by, say, Wall-E or Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
I was disappointed by how few games were visited, and how the cameos from existing game franchises had about as much importance to the plot (for the most part) as cameos by Stan Lee in Marvel movies. However, I understand why this is the case - it's only natural that Disney wants the most popular characters of their movie to be characters they own and can merchandise.
The character development was a little unusual in that Ralph himself did not need to go through much. Ralph started out the movie correct and changed very little - it was Felix and the others in his game who were taking him for granted and treating him badly for doing what he was supposed to do. Ralph did make mistakes in Hero's Duty, and was deceived by King Candy, but otherwise was a nice guy being mistaken for a monster most of the time.
I am actually a little surprised that I didn't even suspect that King Candy was Turbo. I had guessed him to be a usurper when he entered the code - he was messing with reality in ways that the other characters clearly thought was impossible - but I didn't make the connection.
Looking back, I am impressed that all three original games, parodies though they may have been, had internal mechanics that were consistent and would have made decent games of their genres and time periods.

Re: Wreck it Ralph: Im gonna wreck it!
Looking back to the nicelanders,
SpoilerI think their apathetic nature toward Ralph had to do with the idea of "deceiving appearance" and perspective. From the gamers eye (for those who ignored his back story), they are the good guys. But from Ralph's eye, they are jerks. Remind me of Lotso, Goblins by Thunt, and Wicked.
Kinda Creepy that they show the trailer about Wizard of Oz's overthrow of princess while the movie has King/Turbo's usupation of the true queen.Badly drawn helmet avatar drawn by me.

Re: Wreck it Ralph: Im gonna wreck it!
Spoiler
It bugs me when people complain about the minimal role played by the Cameos. The movie was needed to be accessible. It was nice to have Zangief in there, but it would have been wrong to expect the audiences to all possess an extensive knowledge of Street Fighter. By using their own games, and simply playing to the well known standards of the genres, they were able to tell a story that just about anybody could understand.

Re: Wreck it Ralph: Im gonna wreck it!
I know, but it's more a problem with the marketing for the movie than with the movie itself.
I'm not asking for a full history of the Legend of Zelda as told by Samus and Donkey Kong in mime. And I did enjoy the cameos. But I had unrealistic expectations going in as far as how much the cameo characters would do and say, and while some of that's my own childlike hope, some of that's the previews' fault.Last edited by Talanic; 2012-11-24 at 02:04 AM.

Re: Wreck it Ralph: Im gonna wreck it!
Because Legend of Zelda and Metroid aren't Arcade games silly....or at least highly obscure ones.
