"Wreck It Ralph"

A disgruntled Computer Games character longs to be loved, and hailed as a hero. Ralph spends most of his day smashing up a housing complex. The residents get annoyed, call upon Fix-It-Felix who comes along on his merry way, and repairs everything, much to the delight of the residents, and the annoyance of Ralph, who promptly gets thrown off the top of the tower block, every single day. And this is the life of Ralph, and Ralph wants more....

So Ralph leaves the confines of his game, and wonders into the big wide gaming world. A military game he espies, and feels this will be the best way to prove his worth, especially when at the end of the game, a medal is awarded. But alas all does not go well, and Ralph manages to unleash one of the pesky critters from that game into the another game, and the whole Game World is put in jeopardy.

Ralph now has to not only still prove to everyone that he can be a hero, but stop the possible end of all games in the Arcade.
Great idea....but was remarkably dull and boring. I am the first to admit that I am not a fan of Arcade games, never have been, but even so I felt I knew enough, and that there would be enough laughs and entertainment along the way to make the film worth seeing. It did not turn out that way, and it was very disappointing.

The 3D was of little benefit, the animation was good, John C. Reilly was all that I commend about the film, he providing the voice of Ralph.

Am sure the kids will love it, but this big kid did not........4 out of 10
