Wreck-It Ralph, I'M GONNA WRECK IT!!!

An upcoming film by Disney about an arcade game villain who wants to be a hero for a change. Stars John C. Reilly, Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch, and Sarah Silverman.

I am so fuckin' HYPED!!!

I admit, I'm skeptical. As bad as videogame movies are, movies based on the concept of videogames are often far worse.

That said, the trailer actually looks like this could be decent. Still not getting my hopes up though. Regardless, I'll definitely end up seeing it because it's a Disney movie and free will is a lie.

Something worth noting is that this is being directed by Rich Moore, this being his first actual feature-length film. The guy is responsible for directing episodes for some of the funniest animated TV shows, including The Critic, Futurama, and The Simpsons (when it was still good), so I'm more than willing to give this a shot.

Supposedly this movie will be really historically important in the movement of getting video games recognized as an art form or some shit.

I have no problems with what I've seen of this movie so far, except for the multitudes of unnecessary celebrity voice actors. But that's generally a given. And at least John C. Reilly and Jane Lynch are usually pretty good.

I can't stop thinking of Kid Radd. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Webcomic/KidRadd

You're thinking of movies adapted from video games.

Movies "based on the concept of video games" are extremely rare and I can't think of any movie so far to explore video game characters as video game characters.

Spy Kids 3D. Gamer. Gamebox 1.0.

I've only heard of the first one and that's not the same!

The video game characters are still backdrops in those (or not actually video game characters), though, not so much the focus.

Its kinda odd to see all these video game villians, even if it is just a bunch of cameos.

I'm personally excited about this, I think it looks cool. c:
I hope we see a good many more made up characters than official ones, or else it will feel like it was just an excuse to cameo as many franchises as they possibly could.

I know they're not the same, I'm just saying my experience has been that people who make movies about videogames don't necessarily know all that much about videogames.

I'm really looking forward to this. The last good movie that Disney made without Pixar was The Princess & the Frog, and I'm loving the cameos from well-known characters.

Nonsense. Tangled was good.

I kind of got a kick out of seeing those cameos in the support group, but I didn't see anything I thought was particularly funny in that trailer. So my hopes are not particularly high.

Scott Pilgrim was heavily inspired by videogames, and it was awesome.
