You know your daughter best, but I have to say that I was worried as well. A large ICEE and endless popcorn helped my son a lot. He was happy as a clam for the first hour just to be slurping down all the stuff he rarely gets to eat. when he got antsy, I set him back down with a bribe of candy. It was a special occasion. We also went at the matinee, and I think they didn't have the sound as loud, so that helped.

Yeah, it is really our fault for not doing more movies with her yet... I just don't want the first try to be a movie that I really want to enjoy! ;D

I didn't think it was very good. I didn't think it was very bad, mind you. But the nostalgia capital was spent almost entirely in the first 20 minutes (and the references were very superficial), and the rest of the movie was just a pretty decent kid's flick (set entirely in three fictional videogames), about on par with Despicable Me. Not terrible, but . . . ya know . . . exactly the same movie I've seen a hundred times.
There were definitely some funny nods to classic games. But they could have gone much further with it, and used the characters they licensed to much greater effect. Mostly the properties were wasted, imo.

To fan the flames, SNAAKE, there were some good Street Fighter references as well. But the Metal Gear one was especially well done.

This. On its' own merits, it was a good, if typical, coming-of-age/be-yourself/unlikely-buddies flick. I went in hoping for a movie that would do for video games what "Monsters Inc." did for the simple idea of 'monsters under the bed' ... and it certainly did not achieve that level of depth or polish.
I caught it at a Sunday morning matinee for $6/ticket with my gf. For that price, well worth the time.
Did anybody else catch Ralph make the Final Fight "HNGH!" grunt during the Boss Fight? :applaud:
