A portion of a Wired review...
I would like to think that even as a total sucker for videogame references I have enough perspective to say that Wreck-It Ralph is not quite at that level: The jokes aren’t quite as gut-busting, the story twists are not quite as unexpected, the characters not quite as timeless.
But I also think that it will be seen as a very, very good all-ages film, not because of the gaming references but because it deliberately pulls back on them before they’ve overstayed their welcome, replacing them with a surprisingly well-played story of how a person can find redemption in the least expected places. It hit me right in the pixels.

Hmn, well I'll just have to see for myself. And I will.
I'll kick myself if I don't eventually see this. I don't care if it's in 3D or not.
