Dome Pondering Movie Review: Wreck-It Ralph (2012)

What is it about? 

A usual video game villain sets out to attempt to earn a medal to validate him as a "good guy", but eventually brings havoc to the entire arcade where he lives.

Who is in it? 

John C. Reilly - Ralph

Sarah Silverman - Vanellope

Jack MacBreyer - Felix

Favorite Scene: 

After breaking into the create-a-kart factory, both Vanellope and Ralph go through the game of making a go kart for Vanellope. 

Favorite Quote:


Vanellope von Schweetz: What's your name?
Wreck-It Ralph: Ralph, Wreck-It Ralph.
Vanellope von Schweetz: Why are your hands so freakishly big?
Wreck-It Ralph: I don't know. Why are you so freakishly annoying?

Review: 

Why are animated movies so much well put together than those with real actors? Whatever the reason may be, Wreck-It Ralph is another awesome movie from Disney. If you are a fan of animated movies, as well as a fan of video games, you will surely love this film. 

Wreck-It Ralph is the Toy Story of videogames bringing the world of arcades, video game characters, and the quirks that come with videogames to life. With characters coming to life after the arcade closes, it's a nice touch that sets up unique dynamic for the film. From pacman, Zangief, Bowser, and others, its nice to see how they are used in the film. Also, the motion advertisement of Sonci the Hedgehog in "Game Central Station" was another  unique concept. 

Besides the usual cute humor, and the great storytelling, as always, Wreck-It Ralph offered a great message in the difference of being a good and bad guy. 

All in all, another well recommended movie. 

Grade: 3.5/5

Would You Rather: Questions 121-130

This edition of "Would You Rather" is credited to the NBA Would You Rather NBA Account on Instagram ( See Here ). Adding to the fun, this edition (and possibly future ones) are all NBA basketball questions.  121. Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden?  Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability?  This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 2/15/26

Sunday Sundown Rundown returns! Going forward, I'll be sharing thoughts and ponderings in a format of three simple thoughts, opposed to the former "3 Up, 3 Down" of the past.   Mother of Savannah Guthrie I haven't been closely following the developments. I've checked in here and there, mostly hoping that this horrific story comes to an end. I simply continue to sympathize with concern, as not only are the emotions of having one's mother kidnapped for ransom more than enough to bear, but to have it played out publicly, before the nation, helplessly, is an unfathomable reality to understand. And of course, as all things in this culture, the story has been manipulated, pulled apart, and coerced into political representations that are not true, or at the very worst, worthy of discussion considering that someone's life - a person's mother - is at stake.  Winter Olympics It's not my favorite. Summer Olympics are my jam. Nonetheless, this Winter Olympics...
