Synopsis: Ralph, the bad guy in a video game, would like to be appreciated more and become a good guy.
Review: I didn't expect much from this Disney movie, but it turned out to be closer to a Pixar movie. It calls to different levels of viewers, not only kids like usually in Disney productions, but also young adults and especially adults in their thirties that lived throught the dawn of video gaming.Indeed the references to classics like Pacman, Mario, Street Fighter or Sonic are numerous. I was even surprised that so many characters from concurrent companies could be gathered in a same movie. The spirit is between Toy Story for the nostalgic characters and their funny unknown behaviors (what happens when we don't look at them?, for example to the drunkard and exhibitionist Zangieff from Street Fighter), and The Incredibles for the more adult references. But beyond that, I found the movie a bit flat and rather predictible, except for some plot surprises. It is not always original and I had the feeling it was using some worn-out tricks to please the viewer. The deep voice of the main character Ralph sounds like the one of Seth Rogen seen in Zach and Miri make a Porn, but it is not him. I may watch the movie again in Blu-ray to catch more details and appreciate it more.
Rating: 6 /10
