Ralph Breaks the Internet (Wreck it Ralph 2) review thread
- Thread starter Star-Lord
- Start date
I'm not even sure why they didn't do a simultaneous release when there is no reason for them to have the release on the 29th considering traditional release days have gone by the wayside thanks to early access releases and a general shift away from Tuesday releases by publishers.
All it means is four days of having to hide away from spoilers online. There are zero benefits to a four day delay.
Or did they want Japan to have something special?
This is true (and Zootopia actually has the same directors as Ralph Breaks the Internet).
Saw it last night and thought was pretty good.
And yeah, the post-credit scene definitely spoiled by the credits

A link to a Frozen 2 trailer was clicked, leading to Ralph rickrolling you
I thought so. It's not like they just pasted Ralph's head onto Rick Astley or anything like that. I chuckled.
No Nintendo means I'm probably waiting until it's streaming. That confirms my fears for this sequel. I just don't have super high hopes for any of Disney's animated movies any more outside of Pixar.
Huh? The movie is explicitly focused on more broad internet-based references. Having no Nintendo doesn't hurt the film in the slightest.
So my big question, how much "video game" is there in this one? The only reason I was so high on the first film was because of how much of a nostalgic love letter it was to old gaming. This sequel can be extremely well done, but if it's just nothing but internet/pop culture stuff my interest is much much lower in this one.
This is a really weird post considering Disney's (not Pixar) output in the last 10ish years.
I'm with you on that one. How in the hell did this movie go from video games to THE INTERNET baffles me.
Is that date mentioned by Venellope supposed to be taken literally as something actually happening that day in regard to the movie? Guessing it's releasing in your neck of the woods around that time? Coulda sworn it'll be released in all territories by Christmas Day though.
It is a good movie for a 5 year old. The dark net part is maybe 2-3 minutes and not scary and there is also very little violence in the movie. Some of the internet stuff will go over their head but the movie is not really about that. It is about Ralph and Venelopee's friendship.
Its perfectly explained in the movie. Also the first was never just about videogames, the arcade was just the setting.
That's exactly what I didn't want out of a sequel.
The last Disney animated movie I loved was Princess and the Frog. Frozen and Zootopia were decent and the first Wreck It Ralph was a lot of fun, but Tangled was a mess and Big Hero 6 was completely forgettable.
That's a shame since it is some of Disney's best output, and one of the best sequels out there. References don't automatically make a movie better. The live action Mario Brothers movie has the most on-screen Nintendo references in a film and we saw how that turned out.
Also, Disney had their hands tied with Nintendo, as they have a theatrical contract with Illumination for a full CG Mario movie, forbidding any cameos like in Ralph.
Without spoiling, there's actually more videogame elements in this movie than the first.
Crap I forgot about that one. Yeah it's probably their best since PatF, though I honestly don't remember much of it.
Damn, I heard how the ending had an emotional punch, but I still wasn't prepared.
I was positively "WRECKED." ;_;

Great movie and message, as good as if not better than the first.
stole the show for sure.
Princesses
I wish Felix and Calhoun had more screentime. It felt like their side plot could have used one or two more scenes for fleshing out before they got to their resolution.
Song question:
Song question:
Anyone know that who did that dance cover/remix of "Let It Go" when Vanellope arrived at Oh My Disney? I want it. =]
I still need to watch Moana. Zootopia was absolutely fantastic though.
What. Disney's animated movies have been much better than Pixar's for a long time now.
I didn't really care for it. They set up the emotional payoff well and the ending is good but... It really drags and I was checking my phone for the time more than a few times. It is fine as something to take a kid to but this doesn't hold up favorably to the rest of their output over the past few years.
The first one was at a just under perfect perfect level of video game references, so the premise/theme shift is still disappointing to me.
But my family seems likely to see it, as apparently the first one was my sister's favorite Disney movie??? I had no idea until she mentioned it over dinner tonight.

I liked this way more than the first.
Video game references are in it for a decent amount. Probably the same amount as the first movie. The entire concept of Slaughter Race is basically GTA Online. Most of the internet pop culture references is reduced to a short montage. The majority of the movie is about Ralph and Vanellope's friendship.
Listening to the OST, and I'm up to the track that accompanies what could arguably be the best scene in the movie:
Seriously, so much nostalgic goodness packed into a single minute of music.

The last decade of Disney animation has been rock rock to excellent. Moure consistent than Pixar too .
First movie I've seen in a theater in a long time. Was well worth it, I had a big stupid grin on my face the whole way through.
I didn't know there was a post-credits thing, I only saw the mid-credits scene. Shoot!

The movie gets you all hyped up to see a preview of Frozen 2 and it immediately cuts to Ralph doing a cover of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up".

How many princesses scenes are there? Is it worth just seeing for them if I think the rest looks kinda bad?
Incredible. Hope that gets uploaded to YouTube soon, that's excellent.
Saw it tonight... It was okay. I am genuinely surprised about how just okay I feel about both this and Incredibles 2.
To be fair, the audience didn't help. The family in front of us came in 10 mins late, then proceeded to get out of their seats three times over the course of the movie. Also, someone threw up. I think it was a baby.

The one in the trailer goes for little bit. Probably laughed the most at the end part of that. Then there's a great scene later in the film.
I honestly just want a Disney Princess movie by this crew, was the highlight of the film for me.
