I liked Wreck-It Ralph (2012), I found it charming and original with lashings of vocal talent to assist it but a sequel? Had big shoes to fill, and it didn't manage it.
It tells the story of our heroes venturing from the arcade to the internet to save one of their games and *Sigh* does a plot really matter here? Ultimately that's not what its about.
Full of goofy humor, the occasional adult-ish joke to keep the parents happy and lots and lots of product placement. A lot of people looking at the reviews clearly have issue with this but truth be told it would have been very difficult to show the internet in that fashion without showing off the big names. I'm sure a lot of money passed hands because of this, but I don't see why it's such an issue.
The voice cast once again are fantastic including newcomers such as Gal Gadot. The trailers "Princesses" weren't as obnoxious as I expected and quite frankly the whole thing is passable enough stuff but nothing more than that. Somehow a lot of the original charm seems to be missing, the novelty value has diminished and the whole thing felt more like a cashgrab than a loyal sequel.
That being said Ralph Breaks the Internet isn't bad, it's just not living up to expectations.
The Good:
Excellent voice talent
A couple of nice ideas
The Bad:
Pales in comparison to the first
Lacks charm
The satire really spotlights how pathetic much of the internet community are with "Trends" and viewing habits.
