Sometimes even the villain deserves to be a hero













Ralph (John C. Reilly) is a video game character in a game called Fix-It Felix. He is bored of his every day life of wrecking things and being the villain to everyone in town. One day he decides that he wants to be the hero for a change so he leaves his game to seek out new adventures on other games. That of course creates a chaos in the game universe and he ends up in all kinds of trouble. First of all I have never been a hard core gamer, I mean sure I've played my fair share of them, but as this movie references to so many other games I didn't recognize half of them. So gamers will most likely get more out of this than I did. Anyway this wasn't a bad movie, actually it was quite a good one. The voice acting was brilliant and the animation looked great. So the movie looked and sounded very good, and all in all I can't find a thing to complain on the technical side. But it's the story which got me a bit bored at times. It's just so predictable. I mean sure there were nice surprises and funny jokes I didn't see coming and a few twists at the end, but really the paths that it follows are very familiar. So even though I was thoroughly entertained it left me with absolutely nothing to go with. Anyway, it was well worth the watch.
