Wreck-it Ralph is a good movie. And so was the first Resident Evil movie.

I think calling Wreck-It Ralph a video game movie (at least in the context of this discussion) is a bit of a stretch.

I don't think it's a stretch.

They even made an actual arcade game for the movie:

And the way it shows other characters, especially Q-Bert and Zangief, was hilarious.

Regardless it's a better video game movie than most video game movies.

Wreck-it is not a video game movie in the sense that it adapts the original storyline of a video game to a movie, it is a movie about characters living in a video game. It is good though.
