Ralph (C. Reilly) has been the bad guy in his arcade game for 30 years. He has never been accepted by his fellow game characters and is therefore very lonely. After a large argument, Ralph decides to go to another game and become the hero.

Wreck It Ralph is a love letter to arcade games and is full of cameos from famous characters players will remember. There's enough humour to keep both adults and kids amused. It would have been nice to see inside more of the game worlds - the plot only takes us to three - but keeping it simple may have been the best choice. You've got to save something for the sequel!
