Ralph Breaks The Internet review


When I first saw Wreck It Ralph back in 2012 I was blown away by it's many video game references and cameos and still to this day it is a fantastic animated movie. But now with it's sequel which takes a big leap into the wide open world of the internet can it be just as impressive? well yes and no. Ralph and Vanellope are back and after 6 years of doing their day to day lives inside of the games arcade they decide to go on a big important adventure to save Vanellope's game by getting a new steering wheel for the human players after Ralph accidentally has a hand in breaking the current wheel by attempting to spice up the game for his friend. It's a simple set up that honestly flys by and boy oh boy once our 2 hero's enter the world of the internet it is game on (no pun intended)

Inside of the internet you got references at every single corner. I'm not even sure anyone could see them all at once there really is so many. You got Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Buzzzfeed the list goes on. But also you have the bad side of the internet like constant pop ups, viruses and even the dark web gets a mention and a visit from Ralph later into the movie. While the visuals here are absolutely stunning and add so much variety the real shining light of the movie is the relationship between Ralph and Vanellope. Once again voiced by John C. Reily and Sarah Silverman the two are a joy to watch on screen and their voices really go together incredibly well. The pacing for the most part is also great as once the internet is introduced the movie seems to just fly by much like Ralph and Vanellope do while attempting to cross the world wide web.
With the inclusion of Gal Gadot as a badass racer chick and plenty of internet references and even more video game ones to boot Ralph Breaks The Internet is a worthy follow up to it's older sibling. The relationship between the two hero's is a joy to behold and there is more than enough cameo's and references here for all viewers to get and be like hey I understand that. It also is a bit darker in tone in parts which surprised me but it wasn't anything that could disrupt the movie in any way. Especially when an all manner of Disney princesses make some really delightful cameos. The original Wreck It Ralph will always be a movie I hold dear but with this sequel I can say now that I will do the same for this movie. Good job Ralph you really scored a touchdown with this one.

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

With that being said let's get into it Gotham finally returns for it's fifth and sadly last season and with a run of only 12 episodes there is a lot to get through and eventually wrap up.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
