This is what critics say Ralph breaks the Internet:

• "A turbulent satire that replaces the nostalgia of Generation X video games with our current, all-consuming, social media-driven obsession with Walt Disney Studios Animation's endlessly inventive follow-up that stands out impressively."The Hollywood Reporter"s Michael Rechtshaffen written. "Although the film's obligatory emotional beating may not land here as acutely as the funny stuff," he adds, "it's hard to blame something like Ariel and Moana that are driving Vanellope into the search for his song of personal desire body of water up to the inspiration strikes ". Alan Menken's "telling musical number" is a pleasure for the crowds, as is the "princesses bend against the cheek". Throughout the film, Johnston and Moore "make things happen in a fun way in a remarkably detailed virtual world, filled with small touches of colorful creativity at each bend at high speed."

• With "no shortage" of memes and viral successes, "there is almost too much to watch in one go, but [Johnston and Moore’s] takes on social media and online life tends to be smart enough, " United States todayof Brian Truitt written. But considering the "sequel" and "modernity" of the sequel, "that makes the old school look like Disney, and the movie embraces everything from the House of the Mouse: there's a whole sequence where Vanellope sees Iron Man Stormtroopers in a region a bit too "We own your childhood!" "Fortunately, the duo of directors has performed well" because it gives rise to two of the most fun sequences of the film. " In the end, "You go LOL, you'll cry-emoji, you'll never look at a pop-up ad the same way."

• "ambitious, nicely animated and smart, Ralph breaks the Internet free from the traps of most suites by never giving up heart in the name of the most important franchise pyrotechnics ", Weekly entertainmentof Dana Schwartz written. While the sequel "suffers from some nibbling moments of self-awareness on the Internet", everything is forgiven. "The meta-jokes – and a sophisticated theme about insecurity and co-dependency – might be of more interest to parents than to younger children," though "both are equally thrilled with the brief moments with the kids." Team Disney Princesses who are so much fun that you will not even mind that they are shod in ".

• "After going from the 8-bit hero to the arcade hero on his first outing, Wreck-It Ralph levels significantly with Ralph breaks the Internet, an ambitious and satisfying sequel to the spectacular Walt Disney Animation show that is among the studio's best choices: it's a poignant film that is sincere in the right places but knows better than to take itself seriously, " Varietyof Peter Debruge "This smarter tracking than expected ignores the obvious next step: simply explore other games sharing the same power band – and instead aims to conquer the relative vastness of cyberspace."

• Once Ralph and Vanellope are online, the film finds "a middle ground between family entertainment and social satire" Rolling stoneof David Fear written. While "the headline of the title never meets racists or armchair fascists on Twitter here", he "passes" in a section of comments about his videos, which triggers a final act that absolutely slams the endorphin rush and spiral depression. this characterizes the sensation of spending a lot of time online … Will it break the internet or break it? It's painfully recognizable, that need just like rising and falling. "

• "If you've already asked Amazon to remove a book from your Kindle or Apple music in your iTunes library, you know that one of the evil programs on the Internet is getting you to buy the same media over and over. the subtext of "Ralph breaks the Internet", a rather apathetic sequel to "Wreck-It Ralph" that recycles many of the ideas and themes from the previous film, "The Wrap's # Alonso Duralde written. Although there are "interesting improvements," he adds, "it's hard not to feel like you've ever played this game once before." While the specifics of viral video gags will be "dated" in no time, Ralph breaks the Internet provides the ha-ha and the bang-zoom that will keep young audiences engaged. "But," says Duralde, "Disney is a studio that has trained audiences" to expect more than the simple-OKs of their animated feature films. "

• "Like many movie series buddy, the first Ralph was about to reunite the gang; the second is what happens when friends are separated ", The Washington Postof Kristen Page-Kirby written. Vanellope "finds what looks like a house" with Slaughter Race. "Staying there, though, would mean leaving Ralph behind." Watching her trying to balance her own happiness with her friend's is like a very real and very real dilemma, thanks to Silverman's performance, which does not make any sense. has been gaining momentum since the first Ralph movie is perhaps the star, but this new story belongs to Vanellope. "But the characters" are so well understood "that the issues still seem so real. "For Ralph and Vanellope, friendship is anything but a game."
