I had the opportunity to take my kids to see the screening of Wreck-It- Ralph last week. My boys, ages 11 and 7, love video games and have been waiting for this movie to come out since it was first announced.
Wreck-It-Ralph is the evil villain of the video game “Fix-It-Felix”. Tired of being the villain, he ventures out of his game and enters another so he that he can prove to those in his video game that he deserves a medal too. He meets a spunky little girl named Vanellope von Schweetz, played by Sarah Silverman, who loses his medal but helps him regain it.
I loved seeing old classic characters from some of the older video games my generation grew up playing. Pac-Man, Bowser, Q*burt all made an nostalgic appearance in this movie.
My boys loved this movie, and can’t wait to see it again when it’s released to the public on Nov. 2nd, 2012.
Nice review Bridget. Definitely a bit too cutesy at points and its message is a well-traveled one, but there wee enough cool visuals and video game references to delight my inner geek.
