This rating surprised me as I am often a fan of Baz Luhrman’s chaotic style. This film moves at such a fast pace, even more so than his other films. It never allows you to settle into it, and the beginning is an over abundance of sensory maximalism.

Ralph Breaks the Internet 2018
I LOVED the creativity behind this movie. The team behind it had to sit down and think, “how do we personify the internet?” and I gotta say, they nailed it. Having small avatars represent the users and little cars transport them to different links was genius. The personification of clickbait and search engines was very effective and now I feel a strange sympathy for spam bots. The story as a whole was good, but nothing revolutionary. For me, the creativity and animation was what won me over.
