Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Wreck-It Ralph is a ton of fun. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 24, 2022 Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) Fizzy, colourful and intricately plotted, this 2012 pop meta-fiction from The Simpsons' Rich Moore does for vintage arcade games what Who Framed Roger Rabbit did for the Golden Age of Animation. Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk Wreck-It Ralph is a must-see for anyone who grew up playing 1980s arcade games - and their kids will love it too. Rated: 3/5 Sep 1, 2017 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Phil Johnston and Jennifer Lee’s script finds sad, trapped, silly characters locked inside their programming and desperate to escape, and in these energetic and colorful settings, losing yourself in their struggle for freedom and acceptance is effortless. Rated: 3/4 Sep 21, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies "Wreck-it Ralph" sets the table nicely but almost squanders it’s originality and cleverness with its frantic and occasionally numbing midsection. Rated: 3/5 Aug 21, 2022 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Even if "Wreck-It Ralph" is off a little in pace and organization, the movie has creativity, originality, and spirit to spare. Rated: 4/5 Jun 26, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review Zion C This movie is a masterpiece. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Luke R It’s a pretty good childhood movie. The plot twist villain is crazy. Turbo’s bug form was pretty disturbing. I love video games, and I’m glad to watch this video game based movie in 2012. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Audience Member This movie is underrated. It’s well made and adults can enjoy it. References to retro arcade games and attention to detail made me smile. Positive and uplifting message without being too predictable or corny. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis Arcade-game character Wreck-It Ralph (John C. Reilly) is tired of always being the "bad guy" and losing to his "good guy" opponent, Fix-It Felix (Jack McBrayer). Finally, after decades of seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides to take matters into his own hands. He sets off on a game-hopping trip to prove that he has what it takes to be a hero. However, while on his quest, Ralph accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens the entire arcade.
