Film Review - Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018)

Ralph Breaks the Internet is the sequel to 2012’s Wreck it Ralph and this time Ralph (John C Reilly) and Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) log onto the Internet when Vanellope’s racing game breaks and a new steering wheel part must be found but when you come from the Net your format as Game Sprites could see you lost on the Net.

Ralph Breaks the Internet is an okay sequel that I found to be a bit forgettable that doesn’t make it a bad film just one that I didn’t really get into but before I delve more into that I loved the world building on display here and like 2016’s Zootopia also co directed by Simpsons director Rich Moore there are plenty of visual details to see such as how people are represented, how they get around and how they use the various sites us users use every day in the real world.

There are also some fantastic references to Disney itself and the various properties it owns including some very memorable moments with the Disney Princesses who for decades served as a cornerstone of the Disney brand before Marvel and Lucasfilm came into their midsts.

As for the overall storytelling I wasn’t as fond of it as it felt like the typical friend wants to move on but other friend doesn’t want them to go story and I thought it was okay for the most part as some of us do feel that way in our own lives even though it is for the best but outside of that I never really got into that much and again it doesn’t make it bad but just not for me.

And so that was my review of Ralph Breaks the Internet and it’s a fine animation that will do well in the holidays but I found it pretty forgettable, 2 out of 5.
