So I went and saw the Wreck-It Ralph sequel last night. I'll admit that judging from what I saw in the trailers alone, my expectations were not that high, but thankfully, it ended up being surprisingly good. Instead of getting bogged down with dated pop culture references, the movie more or less lampshaded that aspect. In fact, despite its seemingly gimmicky premise, the film actually managed to stay faithful to the worldbuilding and characters established in the first movie. My only major gripe is that a few major plot points (especially around the ending) are more or less swept under the rug with just a couple throwaway lines explaining them, but overall, I'd say it's still a surprisingly good sequel, especially given Disney's hit-or-miss reputation when it comes to making proper sequels to their animated movies.
