Review of Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018) by Yoloswag4Doge — 06 Mar 2019
Overall I quite enjoyed this movie, but I found Ralph's obsessiveness to be too extreme and consequentially off putting. His compulsive desire to control the kid is outright abusive and the 180 he does at the end is so abrupt that it portrays the extent of his unhealthy infatuation, (and manipulativeness), as an easily corrected misstep.
In reality it's the kind of toxic behavior that'd warrant a cessation of their relationship in order for Ralph to work out his issues. I get that it's a kids movie, but the way they present Ralph's behavior imbues the movie with an insidious message that abusive behavior like Ralph's isn't as big of a deal as it really is in an actual relationship.
They could've made conflict out of a less intense issue. Unfortunately, the climax, (based around Ralph's obsessiveness), really soured an otherwise impressive movie for me.
