It shows how not addressing your insecurities and facing it head on will only cause it to multiply and grow and destroy everything around you like a parasitic virus.

Where the film fumbles, though, is the big climactic action sequence that is a drab and a drag.

Even the two post-credits sequences are smart and got big laughs from the crowd. Almost every single one of them lands (I didnвЂ™t care for the gags about the viruses). There are also jokes about pop up ads, quips about viral content and bits revolving an internet search engine dude who doesnвЂ™t let you finish your sentences. The trailer may have ruined the best joke in the movie, but there are plenty more, including a brilliant one about Princess Merida from Brave, that are smart and caught me completely off guard several times. Wreck-It Ralph 2 is also laugh till you drop funny. He must understand that itвЂ™s okay to let go. Tough guy Ralph is insecure and heвЂ™s letting his clingy-ness (itвЂ™s a neat little twist, considering the вЂwomen are clingyвЂ™ stereotype) get in the way of his friendship. That she shouldnвЂ™t have to feel guilty for wanting to do more. That she shouldnвЂ™t always live life for others (even if that person is her bestest friend in the whole wide virtual world). WhatвЂ™s important is that you find the path thatвЂ™s truest to yourself and donвЂ™t mould yourself to fit other peopleвЂ™s narrative.ДЄnd thatвЂ™s what Venelope must learn. ItвЂ™s also okay to be adventurous and ambitious. The film tells us that itвЂ™s okay to be a content and comfortable 9-5 person. Directors Rich Moore and Phil Johnston (who also co-wrote the screenplay with Pamela Ribon) donвЂ™t say RalphвЂ™s way of approaching life is wrong or that everybody should aspire to be Venelope. What I love about the film is that it watches these two characters with non-judgemental eyes. She begins to wonder if she really wants to go back home when her heart lies right here, in this apocalyptic death race. ItвЂ™s as if the dusty roads, fast cars and engine roars call to her like The Force did Rey.

When she stumbles into the awesomely dangerous world of вЂSlaughter RaceвЂ™, her soul radiates and beams. She likes living life on the edge and not knowing what lies ahead. She wants to travel, explore the world and pursue her passion. He loves being in the same game heвЂ™s been in all his life and once the lights of the arcade go out, he likes having a mug of icy cold root beer at a local bar. He enjoys following the same routine on a daily with his one and only true friend. Ralph is a laid back dude thatвЂ™s content and happy with his life. Reilly) and Venelope (Sarah Silverman) and their very different personalities. Wreck-It Ralph 2 explores even deeper the friendship of Ralph (John C. eBoy! (ThatвЂ™s what Ralph - whoвЂ™s kinda like a grandpa stuck in a young dudeвЂ™s body - repeatedly calls eBay). So her buddy Ralph comes up with a plan: Travel to the internet and look for the mythical land that sells everything. When VenelopeвЂ™s vintage game breaks down (in the real world) and the cost is too much to bear by the Arcade owner, sheвЂ™s forced to find a new virtual home.

Riding the line between вЂњhey, IвЂ™m enjoying the heck out of thisвЂќ and вЂњOkay, now IвЂ™m starting to get bored.вЂќ But the problems with the movie donвЂ™t lie with its premise or its themes, which are great.

I had also read that Star Wars characters would be popping up here and there in the movie and YOU KNOW that got my man panties wet. Of course, I didnвЂ™t expect this to be The Lego Batman Movie (and didnвЂ™t want it to be) but if there was gonna be more of where that Disney Princess joke came from, then I knew I was at worst, going to have a helluva good time. Would Disney satirize and poke fun at their many many other iconic characters? I certainly hoped so. Do people assume all your problems got solved because a big strong man showed up?вЂќ
