You'll either love it or you'll admire it, while wishing it would calm down and, I don't know, maybe pick up a book for a while.
It's a cool game, to be sure, but watching someone else play it gets old after a while.
For anyone with a grade-schooler and a free Saturday, it's a pretty safe and painless bet. And a great excuse to go up to the attic later and see if you can dig out your old Atari 2600.
Unlike the Pixar films toward which it aspires-which marry sophisticated conceits to straightforward storylines-Wreck-It Ralph consistently gets lost in its own intricate plot mechanics.
'Wreck-it Ralph' is a serious contender for the title of best animated film of the year.
The movie's subversive sensibility and old-school/new-school feel are a total kick.
Wreck-It Ralph has a promising setup and the opening will strike a chord with gamers of a certain age, but it never recovers from a dull midsection which gradually squanders a great idea.
Disney's found a lot to play with here, but you may find yourself itching to take the controls.
Disney have struck gold outside of their partnership with Pixar, delivering a riotous, sharp and stirring rollercoaster ride of an animated film, reinforced by clever, sentimental video game references and saccharine delight.
Mostly it's a charming, funny, beautifully animated little kick ...
A Who Framed Roger Rabbit for the joystick generation that, despite a mid-act dip into generic Disney territory, high-scores on laughs, invention and 8-bit affection.
Wreck-It Ralph is a dazzling show of sound and colour, tipping its hat to the 8-bit era and modern-day touchstones.
A Disney flick that feels like on-form Pixar, blending knowing humour and sophistication with a large helping of heart. You'll want another go.
This cleverly-targeted family romp marks a step up both commercially and artistically for the non-Pixar side of Disney's animation offering.
...a passable yet disappointing effort from the so-called Mouse House...
Despite being a perfectly entertaining Disney picture, Wreck-it Ralph leaves that nagging taste in the mouth that it could have been so much more.
This A-grade animated Disney charmer hits the nail on the head...director Rich Moore has enormous faith in the ability of young audiences to absorb multiple story strands at once, a belief aided no end by the exquisite quality of the animation.
Anyone who grew up within a controller cable length of a gaming console will need to see this film.
Disney hits all its demographic targets from those whose first gaming experience is Angry Birds to those who know their Asteroids from their Defender.
It's a superbly rendered, supremely creative effort that lovingly pays tribute to 1980s arcade games.
An even more enriching experience than I had anticipated.
With its inventive premise, clever script and wacky characters, this family friendly film tells the story of the video game's bad guy, whose colourful adventures and life affirming journey allow him to realise his true worth
Wreck-It-Ralph is one of the year's best animated features (if not the best) and it's the attention to detail in the tightly-written script that gives it such an edge.
As a new father you can fully trust me when I say things like 'Wreck-It Ralph' is fun for the whole family, even though my family won't find that out for another five years.
