Movie Review - Ralph Breaks the Internet
I didn't see the first Ralph movie, but it turns out that doesn't matter. Everything interesting is explained, and the fun begins immediately.
I'll say, right off the bat, that this movie is worth seeing on the big screen, although I look forward to having this on DVD so I can start and stop each frame at my leisure. I don't think there's another movie with this many in-jokes , asides, and easter-eggs crammed into each part of the story. It IS about the internet, after all.
In fact, right after the film ended, I went up to the larger-than-life movie marquee poster and examined it for about ten minutes, to catch all the little internet allusions without stress.
I was there so long one woman asked me to get out of the way so her family could take a photo in front of it. Oops. I moved away with alacrity and some embarrassment. I'm supposed to be a grownup and not excited by cartoons, right? LOL. It made finding Peetimes a challenge.
You do NOT want to miss the Disney section, at all, with the Princesses and the Star Wars characters. And I can happily report that almost everyone playing their original characters showed up for a voice cameo. And then some!
Ralph 2 simply rocked. See this in 3-D if you can, but see it on the big screen no matter what. This movie is ginormous fun and should not be missed.
If you take the family to see this on the holiday season, I promise that kiddos and adults alike will have a great time.
Grade: A
About The Peetimes: Note: my showing had a 'thank you to the fans' segment before the film began. Don't start the timer at this point. Wait until the Disney Castle fades afterward. I'd recommend the 1st Peetime if possible. The movie is so chock-full of great things to see in the internet-verse, with so many in-jokes that are truly amusing -- you won't want to miss much of this film.
There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Ralph Breaks the Internet. (What we mean by Anything Extra.)
