Aidan the Aspie Critic: Wreck-It Ralph

I saw a new movie today!

It's called Wreck-It Ralph. It is a movie about a video game character called, bizarrely enough, Wreck-It Ralph. He is the villain in a retro arcade game called Fix-It Felix Jr.  Ralph has been doing his job for over 30 years, but he is sorta in a dead-end job. Ralph isn't really bad, he's just doing his job, but everyone else treats him like a criminal. No one respects him. So, Ralph abandons his game to go look for a new role to play in a different video game. The bad news is, Ralph's colleagues in his old game can't do the game without Ralph. Because Ralph isn't there, everyone thinks the game is broken. Fix-It Felix Jr.'s plug could get pulled. If a game gets it's plug pulled, it means that the game is dead. All the characters inside the game while the plug gets pulled, disappear forever. Can Ralph save his game and solve his identity crisis? Watch Wreck-It Ralph to find out!

This was an EXCELLENT movie! I, personally, didn't have high hopes for it when I saw the trailer, but I was wrong! I would really recommend it for people who know video games really well or else you won't get the references or characters. There are lots of video games that show up in this film including, Mortal Kombat, Metroid, Super Mario Bros., Pac-Man, Sonic the Hedgehog, Street Fighter, Plants vs. Zombies, Guitar Hero, Dance Dance Revolution, Q-Bert, MarioKart, and many, many more! (No Angry Birds or Minecraft!?!) The movie had a great message too! The movie was all about how everyone has a role and a place in this world, and the world would fall apart without someone. I'd give the movie 9 out of 10 stars! Jolly good show!

Have you seen Wreck-It Ralph? What did you think of it? Tell me in the comments!
