What did you think of the Super Mario Bros. Movie 🤔

[MforMythicron]

I love the end credit scene when sonic comes out of a portal and tells Mario “we need to smash, bro.” My entire movie theatre went insane

[JasLamArr]

For a movie based on Mario, it was definitely great. Good thing Nintendo stood over Illuminations shoulder.

[kronos]

everyone’s pointing out that charles had the cameo as “Jump Man” but nobody’s addressing his stellar performance as Mario’s Dad

[NathanielBandy]

This is really a movie just for Mario fans, that's about it

[MasonProductions]

I feel like if there was an extra 20 minutes, everything could be fleshed out more and maybe give Luigi something to do

[HeisenbergFam]

"critics hate it while audience loves it" is honestly a recurring pattern in a lot of cases

[dip.]

Jock Donkey Kong was an insanely fun character.
Not only did they play THE song, but "Yeah, but your dad was right!" was the funniest line in the movie
7/10 movie, 10/10 experience

[BugsyFoga]

Definitely felt a big budget version of the super show, especially with the use of license music in the film, and in that aspect it was pretty enjoyable for me .

[brandonayala]

I couldn’t help but feel the movie had a huge sense of love and celebration for the Mario games and cartoons.. and because of that I walked out really happy with this movie. It was just so charming.

Just figured I’d say since you didn’t seem to notice: Martinet not only briefly voiced that one dude in the pizza shop (designed as OG Mario), but he also voiced Mario and Luigi’s father. Just thought I’d say

[wideface]

Hearing character yell things like “IM GONNA KILL MARIO” was a highlight of this movie for me

[NABBIT]

Jack Black’s performance as Bowser is so good. He killed it with his line delivery and was my favorite character in the movie.

[jaceyates]

Honestly, since i got popped out in 02 Mario has been at the source of so many fundamental gaming experiences, I think I honestly got everything I wanted out of it, I honestly kinda cant wait to see it again just to look in the backgrounds of every scene

[JohnstoneStudios]

Weirdly, this video was pretty helpful in summarising my thoughts on the movie. I liked it overall, but came out having a problem with it I couldn’t really figure out. Then this video came out and reminded me, “Oh yeah, it’s the character development and pacing”. Aside from that it was a fun movie

[Stereo]

honestly, it wasn’t a great MOVIE, but as a mario fan? it was an absolute dream. when the DK rap started playing, i was bouncing in my seat and singing along like a little kid. i wish there was more exposition for the world, dialogue between the characters, and, most of all, closure for peach’s story and why there’s a pipe in brooklyn in the first place. i also would’ve loved to see some of peach and boswer’s background growing up together, maybe even the reason why bowser is the way he is. and that would mean more screen time for kamek, too! i also would have loved to see wario and waluigi included in the family dinner scene.

[delfin]

I loved the movie and hearing the *Donkey Kong Rap* from N64 in a cinema was truly a life-changing experience for any audience member.

[lucariboi]

As a massive Mario fan, this movie was everything I’ve ever could’ve wanted, I’d probably give it an 8/10 for an actual score but to me personally it’s an easy 10/10

[Pokepal]

I’m not gonna lie and say the movie was flawless but I personally really enjoyed it. All the references, easter eggs, and the nostalgic music numbers were amazing. My friends and I were giddy the whole time

[dc_reznor]

Mario not really having a crush on peach is a brilliant breath of fresh air from the “hero wants the main girl” trope
