So I finally saw
Wreck-It Ralph. I can honestly say it lives up to the hype, and even my trope-savvy brain didn't see the ending coming. Though I really should've. It's foreshadowed way ahead of time,but it's so subtle that on the first viewing it's hard to catch. It ranks up there with
Megamind on my list of "Movies I'm Impressed With". I did not see
Wreck-It Ralph in 3D, but frankly it doesn't need the 3rd dimension (unlike
Megamind which certainly does). My exposure to video game culture came in handy for this movie (a character used the
Konami Code and I'm pretty sure I was the only one laughing) but even if you don't play games this movie is entertaining because it's all about the characters. Any plot-relevant game mechanics are explained in-movie, so the audience can just sit back and get absorbed in the story line.
It also has catchy music. Wanna hear the catchy music?
