I liked it fairly well... especially the old gamey stuff. I got kind of tired of the Candy Land place, but it was still good overall.
Poor homeless Q*Bert almost made me cry.

I was surprised so much time was spent there, I thought there was going to be more game hopping. But that was just done at the beginning and then the real story unfolded there. It worked for me though. And I loved the Wizard of Oz reference. (King Candy’s Oreo guards.)The Top Crusader wrote:I got kind of tired of the Candy Land place, but it was still good overall.
Bought the DVD haven't watched it yet.

I keep a framed portrait of Q*Bert on my wall to show my solidarity for him.

My little brother got this for his birthday. I liked it, though I'm not much of a gamer and most of the references went over my head. The story was pretty decent and I didn't see the twist at the end coming. Like bookworm I was really impressed by the emotional twist in the movie. I did get a phone call during the big climax, so I'll have to re-watch the end sometime. I'm interested to see what they may do with a sequel. The only thing I disliked was a few of the unnecessary names that Ralph and Venellope called each other and used. Didn't ruin it at all, but it didn't need to be in there either. Reminded me of a certain character from the Tangled movie that didn't need to be in it at all either. All in all, I think this movie was almost as good as any Pixar film, I'm impressed by the good stories that Disney has been putting out lately.

Finally saw this, and it was great! I see something of a new genre in Big Epic Animation films that are emerging recently. Pixar had a head start, but now more studios are producing unique, heart warming, family friendly stories that inhabit big epic animated worlds.

I saw this a few weeks back, and decided to post about it.
I honestly don't remember too much about it.....
I also wasn't hit emotionally by it like bookworm was. I was quite sad when Ralph broke the cart, but that was the extent. I liked the movie quite a bit. It moved at a good pace, had some nice little themes, and did well for me. Beyond that, I don't know, I'll have to see it again.

Watched it last night! Loved it just as much the second time around!
Now that I’ve seen it twice my judgment is official; this is one of my all time favorite movies.

...I know the companies wouldn't cooperate for more than movie cameos but it would be awesome if there was a regular series that just mixed up a bunch of arcade characters together like that. >_> Bowser was only ever in one arcade game, but glad he got to cameo.
I just realized off the top of my head there has never been a Sonic the Hedgehog arcade game, but they had him doing instructional videos there. THE MOVIE IS RUINED FOR ME!
It's certainly not impossible there was some random game with him in it that made it to arcades, though... Sega has done lots of arcade cabs, more than Nintendo.

Heh, I didn’t even realize it should have been only arcade games, I was just thinking video games in general. Nice catch Top. (Not surprising that you would be the one to get it. )

Eh, ticket redemption games aren't really... video games. There is no actual video game playing involved, you just try to aim your token or quarter down a shoot and get tickets so you can save up thousands and get a Tootsie Roll or something.
They had that same machine locally here back in the day, in an arcade with a giant worm on top (good times, good times). It was broken or not calibrated right or something, and you could just give it a good wack and tickets would come out.

Oh, something I forgot to mention is the end credits are superb. That’s a sign of how completely great this movie is, that even the credits are amazing.

I totally just saw it tonight, and I was extremely impressed. I didn't expect it to be such a good story! Also, I love Owl City's song for the end credits.
