In 2012 WRECK-IT RALPH proved that just because is a bad guy doesn’t mean they’re a bad guy. Ralph (John C. Reilly) proceeded to wreck his way into our hearts with the adorable Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman) by his side, and now the duo is back for more in RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET. The sequel has a lot to live up to given how much people adore the original, and now the first batch of critics and journalists to see the movie are here to hint audiences may be mostly pleased by the results. The early reactions are saying this one has more than enough heart to spare and tons of laughs to go around, even if the first might have too high a score to top overall.

You can check out all the reactions below, with plenty more to come before the movie breaks into theaters on November 21.

Two end credit thoughts to that tweet: 1. There are two end credit scenes, stay till the very end. 2. I hate that I used “surprise” twice in that tweet. Ugh. Embarrassing.

Good news: Disney didn’t screw up Ralph Breaks The Internet, but it’s not as great as the first. A lot of laugh out loud moments but the character driven emotional center, deeper dissection of internet’s pitfalls & toxic relationships elevates it. Stick through the credits.

Ralph Breaks The Internet is better than the original in every way. Huge laughs and plenty of heart. The princess sequence will more than likely become one of the most memorable scenes of 2018. Be sure to stay through the credits for even more laughs. #RalphBreaksTheInternet pic.twitter.com/9K6PA4bYH3

Die hard Disney fans are going to LOVE this. So many fun references and Easter eggs from Disney, Pixar, and Marvel. Plus, the Princesses are PERFECT. They have way more than you think and people will be talking about it for a long time.

#RalphBreaksTheInternet is full of heart, sweet charm and subversive smarts. The princess stuff kills (obviously), but the “A Place Called Slaughter Race” song sequence is a spectacular show. pic.twitter.com/OJUqVvvwPz

Turns out #RalphBreaksTheInternet is just as funny and heartfelt as the original and a total visual feast (to the point that it’ll take a few viewings to process it all). @CoryLoftis’ work in particular is stunning; homeboy is the next Eyvind Earle or Mary Blair. What a blast. pic.twitter.com/EkpcCXH3RD

Ralph Breaks The Internet is great. Super funny, creative, and charming, with the same kind of character-based emotional core that made the first one so special. It's a really fun follow-up – very happy. pic.twitter.com/pHhRUECU7c

RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET: It has plenty of story issues but plenty of fun moments. I thought it was a lot funnier than the first film.

Ralph Breaks The Internet was…much much funnier as a trailer? It’s absolutely not a movie for people who work on or use the internet regularly. And that’s okay! But it’s definitely not for me.

The target demographic is a absolutely Facebook Moms and their kids, which I get. But it means watching it’s a veeeeery weird experience.

What with all the internet hoping and Disney references this was almost guaranteed to be an entertaining movie at the least and based on these reactions that’s probably what we’re going to get. Sure, it might not end be being as good as the first, but was anyone expecting it to be?
