- 90The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenThe Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenA turbo-charged satire that swaps out Gen X video arcade nostalgia for our current, all-consuming social-media-fueled obsession, the endlessly inventive Walt Disney Studios Animation follow-up impressively levels up with laugh-out-loud consistency.
- 90VarietyPeter DebrugeVarietyPeter DebrugeIt’s a poignant buddy movie that’s sincere in all the right places, but knows better than to take itself too seriously.
- 83IndieWireKate ErblandIndieWireKate ErblandYounger audiences will surely benefit from its messaging, but with such vivid characters it’s entertaining and emotional for all ages.
- 80IGNJim VejvodaIGNJim VejvodaWhile the fun had at the expense of the internet isn’t exactly the freshest material, Ralph Breaks the Internet works well not because of where it sends its two main characters physically but rather emotionally.
- 75Slant MagazineHenry StewartSlant MagazineHenry StewartWhen Ralph Breaks the Internet ignores the glittering marvels of the internet and focuses on the rapport between its two leads, it's deeply moving.

- 70ScreenCrushMatt SingerScreenCrushMatt SingerRalph 2 does offer the action, racing, and goofy pop cultures jokes expected of this kind of Disney animated feature. It’s just that along the way it also has a very heartfelt theme about the complexities of longterm friendship, and a timely message about what happens when seemingly strong men begin to feel weak and threatened.
- 60Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangLos Angeles TimesJustin ChangRalph Breaks the Internet is a witty, fastidiously imagined adventure and a touching, sometimes troubling ode to the power of friendship. But it also demonstrates some of the problems that can befall a movie when its vast ambition and confidence outstrip its finesse.
- 60Screen DailyTim GriersonScreen DailyTim GriersonThe sequel to 2012’s Wreck-It Ralph boasts a big heart and some clever comedic set pieces, and yet this follow-up fails to match the original’s balance of savvy pop-culture nostalgia and genuine emotional stakes. Ralph and Vanellope are still fun company, but their latest adventure is full of glitches.
- 59TheWrapAlonso DuraldeTheWrapAlonso DuraldeThere are, to be sure, some worthwhile upgrades this time around — including one sequence that’s an instant classic — but it’s hard not to feel like you’ve already played this game once before.
