“Wreck-It-Ralph”

Rating: PG

Genre: Comedy

Grade: Four out of five stars

In “Wreck-It-Ralph,” director Rich Moore depicts a world where villains in video games aren›t actually all too bad, they are just doing their job.

A few years ago, Disney came out with the spectacular “Tangled,” and, now in 2012, it has released another visually stunning picture about a videogame villain who wants to be a hero and sets out to fulfill his dream, but his quest brings havoc to the arcade where he lives.

Despite what the trailers have shown, you don’t have to be a know-it-all gamer to enjoy this movie. There are some gaming jokes, some subtle and some not so much. So the movie is straight forward, it’s about a gaming villain who leaves his game to go to another game called “Hero’s Duty” in order to receive a medal to prove that bad guys are able to be good.

As the audience knows, Disney’s target market is children and young adults. But at the same time, parents take their children. So as most movies, more and more adult jokes are incorporated into the movie, which makes a good time for all ages.

This is the most original film  I’ve seen in a long time.  Not every element of  “Wreck-It-Ralph”  is  entirely fresh, and  some audience
members may see  a few of the twists  and turns coming, but  the movie excels with  charming characters and a unique setting delivering thoughtful insights for young and old viewers.

It is evident the actors get deep into their roles. Sarah Silverman’s character is the best. I give her a round of applause.  Over all, this is the best animated movie since “Toy Story 3.”
