Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Wreck-It Ralph is a ton of fun. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 24, 2022 Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) Fizzy, colourful and intricately plotted, this 2012 pop meta-fiction from The Simpsons' Rich Moore does for vintage arcade games what Who Framed Roger Rabbit did for the Golden Age of Animation. Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk Wreck-It Ralph is a must-see for anyone who grew up playing 1980s arcade games - and their kids will love it too. Rated: 3/5 Sep 1, 2017 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Phil Johnston and Jennifer Lee’s script finds sad, trapped, silly characters locked inside their programming and desperate to escape, and in these energetic and colorful settings, losing yourself in their struggle for freedom and acceptance is effortless. Rated: 3/4 Sep 21, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies "Wreck-it Ralph" sets the table nicely but almost squanders it’s originality and cleverness with its frantic and occasionally numbing midsection. Rated: 3/5 Aug 21, 2022 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Even if "Wreck-It Ralph" is off a little in pace and organization, the movie has creativity, originality, and spirit to spare. Rated: 4/5 Jun 26, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Dealer's Choice Fine for a kid's movie. My kid liked it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review David D Interesting concept, suprising plot twist, and fine ending. But the middle part when the annoying kid showed up and everybody blamed everything on Ralph almost lost me. The mistreated guy just wanted to do something nice for himself for once after 30 years! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/06/25 Full Review Audience Member Better than Ralph Breaks the Internet! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/06/25 Full Review Ralph H I cannot fathom how this film has a lower rating than the second one. Ralph 2 is the worst pile of commercial capitalist slop that I have ever seen and I deeply despise it. All of the critics who rated the second film higher than this one will be struck by three plagues. Ralph hater out x Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review Its abe S This movie marked my early childhood and is one my personal favorite movies and feels underappreciated in every way possible! This is a classic movie, I loved when I was little and whenever I watch it I appreciate even more! easy 10/10! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/25 Full Review catherine s It's an excelent movie taht will teach the value of friendsgip to children, so it is excellent for watching in familyb for further discussion.
