Why Ralph Breaks the Internet is a Cinematic Disaster (By Schaffrillas Productions)
- Thread starter TheGamingNewsGuy
- Start date
Because it brought in a ton of money in merchandise. And surprisingly enough, Cars 3 is good.
Literally just watched both two weeks ago and last week, respectively.
Down Under is aggressively mediocre and has none of the charm of the original.
Down Under is not as good as the original, but both Rescuers films were childhood favorites of mine.
Also was not aware that the Wreck-It Ralph sequel had such a poor reputation, this video aside. I really liked the original but never got around to seeing that second one.

I was just wondering the other day if there were two or three Cars movies. I've only seen the first; that was more than enough.
We'll know they're scraping the barrel when there's a sequel to The Good Dinosaur.
You're probably thinking of Filmento which is a terrible channel and like half of their thumbnails have FAILURE in ALL CAPS RED LETTERS.
I hated the amount of blatant product pacements. There were so many movies this generation like this to just reference other properties, products, or shit that's there to laugh at recent memes... it's so weird. So much takes time from the story to make bullshit references; it's baffling.
Video is spot on.

Yep, my kids enjoyed it (although not as much as the first one) so I'm not going to analyze it for it's cinematography.
Love the first. This was the most disappointing movie in a very long time. . Highlighted all the more when The Lego Movie 2 came out shortly afterward and was just as good as the first.
The Jumanji sequel handled videogames better. It also handled friendships changing and deteriorating better and with more heart and subtlety.

40 minutes functionally shitting on a movie made for kids? This is such a cynical take on life. I hope these guys are proud of themselves.
Wreck it Ralph is one of my favorite Disney films, period.
Ralph Breaks the Internet can lick my taint.

They're good, not great.
Better made and with a ton more heart and care than you'd think.
May just be lowered expectations but I enjoyed my time with both of them.
Also seeing the kid from Hereditary was a shock, until you realise he was in the first already.
It's not as good as the first. But my 3 year old loves it and I don't mind it so yea.
I can't help but cackle that someone thought it was necessary to post a 40 minute critique of a kids movie labeling it a cinematic disaster.

Glad I wasn't imagining things haha
I don't know that Youtuber. So I doubt that it was one of their videos. But glad to know their Modus operandi so I can avoid them in the future
Meanwhile with Frozen 2:
Also peak Toy Story 4
And both were unnecessary
You're thinking of one by another interchangeable youtube "critic".
They're all the fucking same though.
Loved the first Wreck it Ralph, had zero interest in the second as soon as I heard it was an internet meme/web reference driven movie, still haven't seen it and doubt I ever will. Regardless of whether or not it's a kids movie, the concept is just bland and cynical in comparison to the first which makes it instantly dated. Will the kids who laughed at it now still want to watch it when they're older and will their own kids find it relevant? I can think of plenty of contemporary themed movies and shows I liked as a kid that were a lot of fun at the time but are just super cringey now and almost impossible to go back to (hello, Fern Gully and Oliver and Company, haha). Just hand waving it away as "Oh well, it was a flick my kids enjoyed" just goes hand in hand in how it's a throwaway concept that won't age well which does a great disservice to the timeless appeal of the first movie's theme. Disney animation in general should be aiming higher than this movie, save this kind of stuff for Emoji Movie market.

Movie is incredible and I loved it. It's very weird and silly with stuff like musical numbers and crazy visual gags. It gets the characters right and is an actual kids movie which GOES THERE and commits to its themes. Yeah, the movie is surprisingly touching and addresses an issue most films let alone kids movies don't bother to talk about.
The movie chooses character above all. The fetch quest plot is dropped in the first act and the movie becomes a deeper exploration of what friendship. People who call the movie lazy and unoriginal have no idea what they are talking about in my opinion. The quest for the MacGuffin in the internet world is solved in act one. The movie doesn't solely rely on cheap internet gags at all!

The only part of this movie that mattered was the Disney Princesses scene. Possibly the most important scene in Disney history lol
The first one was great, so the second one was quite disappointing. Felt like they didn't get what made the first one work.
It also has a terrifying sequence in the end that they really didn't think through.
Yep, this was easily the best part of the whole film and the well they could tap for that is bottomless.
Everything is a 'Cinematic disaster' according to YouTube pundits.
Thought this was another one of those cringe SQW geek YouTube critics but he didn't shit on The Last Jedi and mostly sticks to animated movies. There are so many of these!
Do we even know what a cinematic disaster looks like? Does such a thing exist?
I enjoyed the movie. It wasn't as fresh as the original, but it certainly wasn't a disaster.
I think a lot of the hate the movie gets comes from the brief moment of unwanted self-awareness it gave some of those viewers.
It's not bad. Just not as good as the original.
But hell, it's worth it for the Princess action sequence at the end.
