A movie for the fans with the studio focusing on entertaining the audience and NOT lecturing them on garbage woke ideologies.
No wonder this movie easily outperforms anything else that came out of Hollywoke the past years.

No wonder this movie easily outperforms anything else that came out of Hollywoke the past years.

As a long-time-fan of anything Mario, I greatly enjoyed everything I saw. Even the little cringy parts.
This doesn't really deserve a 10/10 but for the sake of underlining how amazing this movie is in comparison to everything else these days, I'll gladly give it just that.

Watch it if you love Mario - or are sick and tired of Hollywoke and just want to be entertained. This movie entertains, nothing more, just how it should be.… Expand

Beautiful movie. Every scene is brimming with small details that brings either nostalgia or laughter. Possibly the most "fan service" movie I've seen. Mario fans can't ask for better than this.

for Chris pratt, the thing most people were up in arms about doesn't even matter. he did the job perfectly and his voice was suited for the role and not annoying like most over the top crap you hear these days. Charlie Day and Jack Black were the star of the show with Toad's VA nailing it. Seth Rogan suited Donkey Kong very well and wouldn't have chosen anyone else. the VA for peach was pretty good.

Story wise it was average, not fully predictable luckily so it had me on my seat a few times.

Watch it before you critic it from the trailers and trash paid critics.… Expand

ItI wanted to share my thoughts on the new Mario Brothers movie that has recently been released. I have seen the film and I have to say, it is great! However, I have been disappointed to see that the critics have been giving it bad reviews.

It seems to me that the critics are biased against the film and have an agenda to make it fail. They have been overly critical of the film, nitpicking at every little detail and ignoring the overall enjoyment factor of the movie.

I believe that the new Mario Brothers movie is a great addition to the franchise. The storyline is engaging, the characters are well-developed, and the visuals are stunning. The movie is a perfect blend of action, adventure, and comedy that will keep you entertained from start to finish.

Furthermore, the film does an excellent job of staying true to the original Mario Brothers games while also adding new elements to keep it fresh and exciting. The movie is a love letter to the fans of the franchise, and it shows in every scene.

In conclusion, I highly recommend that you go see the new Mario Brothers movie. Don't let the biased critics deter you from enjoying a great film. It's a fun and entertaining movie that the whole family can enjoy.

Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope you have a great day!… Expand

Let's get the biggest worry out of the way, Chris Pratt as Mario. He is all right in the role. I think he does a good voice for Mario that works for the whole runtime. Likewise, Charlie Day as Luigi is good as well. The first act of the movieLet's get the biggest worry out of the way, Chris Pratt as Mario. He is all right in the role. I think he does a good voice for Mario that works for the whole runtime. Likewise, Charlie Day as Luigi is good as well. The first act of the movie with Mario and Luigi together is incredibly enjoyable. The pacing is great and they do a great job illustrating the strong bonds between the brothers. This is also thanks to the great chemistry between Chris and Charlie. In terms of great voice performance, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad is terrific. We have seen in interviews that he does the high pitch voice without just sound editing tricks. His voice as Toad works perfectly for the film while still having the same energy as Toad in the game. He is only outshined by the best voice performance in the whole film, Jack Black as Bowser. Jack Black gives a voice performance that actually sounds different from his normal voice to the point that you won't be able to tell it is him. His voice was perfect as Bowser's as he gave a menacing tone but a slight goofiness to the performance as well. Charles Martinet (the video game Mario voice) is also here and not just as a cameo which I appreciate as well.

Brian Tyler is the music composer for this film and he does a great job. They incorporated a lot of the great music from the Mario games into the film wonderfully. He sometimes does it subtlety and sometimes uses it fully for big moments but it is done tastefully. The visuals are also great and they did a great job of making the world of Mario look alive. This is definitely one of Illumination's best-looking films. There are also some great, enjoyable action sequences such as the obstacle course that reminds you of the classic games, Mario vs Donkey Kong, the Rainbow Road, and the whole final act. These sequences utilize the elements from the game superbly. On that note, there are so many references and easter eggs to not just Mario but Nintendo in general. There are easter eggs in the sounds, the music, the visuals, and the dialogue and it is just a lot of fun spotting it all. There is no doubt that this movie was created with the fans in mind.

However, I do have some issues with this film. The first is the plot splitting up Mario and Luigi. It was great seeing them interact but the movie hints at some issues in their relationship and the movie could've explored their brotherly relationship. Unfortunately, the plot splits them up and changes it to be about Mario rescuing Luigi which is super generic. It's a shame, as the plot didn't need to be about Mario saving anyone as Bowser was already a looming threat anyway. The plot being straightforward isn't a massive problem though. The issue is that there is no proper character exploration or development in this straightforward plot. Every character remains the same from beginning to end, except for one character but they just change because the plot demands it to. It isn't naturally built up or earned. Peach's character is also just perfect with no flaws which is kind of boring. The pacing is also incredibly fast after the first act. The movie doesn't spend any time letting a scene breathe with our characters. It is always on to the next thing almost instantly. This is jarring as I wanted to see more of the adventures with Mario and Peach but this is just dealt with in a quick montage.

In terms of voice performances, I do have issues with some. Anna Taylor Joy is just phoning it in as Peach. She is just speaking in her normal voice and that is fine just because her normal voice suits the character but I wish she put some effort into it. Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong is another performance where they are just speaking in their normal voice. I don't like the casting of Seth and the film doesn't change my mind. On that note, Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong is another big miscasting. He doesn't sound old enough or cranky enough as the character. There is also a weird creative choice in having 80s song in the film. There is AC/DC Thunderstruck and Take on Me in the film and it is just very off-putting. These songs didn't work for the scene and I'm not sure why they put the songs in a Mario movie. I also didn't find the jokes laugh out loud funny but kids were laughing so it was maybe that the jokes just aren't funny for adults.

Overall, my biggest worry was The Super Mario Bros movie sucking. Fortunately, this movie does not suck and is actually a very fun movie. I do think the critics were a bit harsh but their criticisms are understandable. The movie plays it very safe with the plot and characters. There is not any meaningful message in this film. Nevertheless, the movie succeeds in delivering a fun Mario adventure that is fun for kids while being enjoyable enough for adults. A kid behind me in my theatre called it the 'best movie ever' so clearly it is doing something right! Hopefully, this movie opens the door for more Mario or Nintendo properties getting their own film adaptions.… Expand

This truly is a movie made for fans and is an excellent movie for families because of how fun it is. The animation is amazing as well, which should further incentivize you to go out and watch it.

Edit: After a couple of months I decided to bump my score down a bit since the film itself is very just middle of the road after thinking about it, I think it should've took more queues from the RPGs and had more luigi scenes, and more substance in general.… Expand

I thought there wouldIt's an excellent movie, the animation is undoubtedly beautiful and the world they have created is simply fantastic. I really liked the additions of characters and some extra details that are not part of the video games. I thought there would be many jokes or comedic situations, but in the end, I think they have found an appropriate balance. The music is undoubtedly beautiful, with a variety of musical references from the first NES game to the latest Odyssey. There are several licensed music themes that are great, although quite unexpected for me, it felt a bit strange, but overall, it's very good. I loved the voice acting, and honestly, I don't think you can ask for anything better. Bowser and Peach are probably the best.

As for the story, what can I say? Did anyone really expect anything more? It's very simple, and that's it, like any Mario game in general. In my opinion, it perfectly fulfills its purpose, although I think the duration of the movie is a bit short. I would have appreciated a few more scenes before the end.

If you like Super Mario or have played any of its games, you will surely love this movie. It perfectly captures the essence of the franchise without taking too many risks but delivering what a fan wants to see. And if you haven't played any of the games, I recommend giving it a chance because I consider the work done on this project to be, at the very least, noteworthy and well done.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La película es maravillosa. La calidad musical es rebosante constantemente en cada momento. Nunca hay un momento silencioso y nunca se necesita uno, siendo sincero. A pesar de lo apresurada que resulta ser la película, y a veces, complicada que es de seguir por la cantidad de información simultánea, reconociendo que su razón es la poca duración de la misma, su línea cronológica está bien organizada.

La calidad musical, una vez más, es complementariamente eficiente. Decenas de temas de antaño utilizados en entregas pasadas, así como música licenciada no perteneciente al mundo de Nintendo sigue encajando en cada escena, y acomoda muy bien el sentimiento.

La calidad de animación, la calidad de los personajes y de los escenarios es impecable, organizada muy eficientemente a pesar del color masivo que trae un personaje como Mario al mundo cinematográfico, y manteniendo un cariño a los ojos de tanto los niños como los jóvenes y adultos observando. Nunca es molesto de ver, incluso cuando los colores son intensos y brillantes, lo cual es de respetar, especialmente sabiendo que este trabajo es de Illumination, donde sus habilidades son obviamente excepcionales.

Los diálogos fueron muy buenos, con exceptuación de situaciones con personajes como "Cranky Kong", donde varias de las líneas resultaban poco acomodables a la situación e, incluso, innecesarias en un par de casos. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser y Donkey Kong, por otro lado, no tuvieron casi ninguna línea de diálogo mal colocada. Es más, varias líneas agregaron más color y gusto a las escenas, creando un humor respetuoso, responsable y muy bien recibido tanto de la audiencia infantil como la adulta. Lumalee, por un último lado, fue una adición interesante, pero no muy útil para ningún aspecto de la película. Fue implementado de manera extraña e incluso incómoda por el hecho de que no aporta casi ningún cambio. Sus líneas fueron planas con un propósito de negatividad (El cual encajó con la situación, pero solo fue útil para añadir humor, el cual fue implementado desde los personajes externos a Lumalee: "Los Pinguinos").

La historia fue bien estructurada. Utilizaron varios aspectos de los juegos para crear una línea cómica, interesante, simple y muy bien planeada para crear explicación a varias incógnitas, tales como la razón del por qué Bowser odia a Mario, y por qué Mario querría salvar el "Reino Champiñón". A pesar de su buena implementación, sigue siendo algo... Simple. Un poco muy simple, a decir menos. Sabiendo que no solo dura una hora y media, sino que también es una película animada para audiencia infantil, la historia se notó muy plana a pesar de eso. Bien pensado, pero no muy bien plasmado.

En una escala del 1 al 10, 8.5 es la calificación que mejor coloco a la película, pero conociendo que esta escala es de 1 a 5 estrellas, 4 son las que mejor la representan.

Muy recomendable, especialmente:
-Se ve mejor en familia por razones un poco obvias.
-Es re-visitable con la cantidad de referencias, cameos, detalles y calidad general.
-Interesante, divertida y colorida, fácil de ver y de disfrutar para todo público que, por lo menos, ha jugado siquiera uno de los juegos originales, pues las referencias abarcan una amplia lista de ellos… Expand

It has one of the greatest and most powerful soundtracks I've ever heard of any movie, with tons of throwbacks to music from the games. Lots of the scenes are extremely well animated and action packed. Peach demonstrating a run on her training course while uplifting, cinematic music played in the background almost made me cry. In all, this movie is a 10/10 life changing experience that I feel anyone, Mario fan or not should experience at least once in their life. It's definitely my favorite movie, and a wild ride that I will never forget. Thank you Nintendo, and thank you Illumination for putting such care and effort into making this long-awaited film based on such an iconic series that has been a big part of my life ever since I was in elementary school. Truly a masterpiece!… Expand

I can't believe it took this long for such a movie to happen. It was very nostalgic experience. It looked fantastic, I loved the characters, the music, all the references, etc. However, I did have one problem with it" The plot was definitely a simple one and it ended up feeling a little too fast paced for what they wanted to do. If the movie was 30 minutes longer, I might not have had that complaint. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the heck out of it. It's such a charming and energetic film and I had a great time watching it. 9/10

Oh, and about Chris Pratt: He played his part well. Can we move on now?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How can I explain the Mario movie it's perfect the visuals are absolutely stunning with easter eggs a plenty for any hardcore or causal Mario fans to point at the cinema with glee, the plot is way better than any critics opinion with an amazing unexpected Super Mario Odyssey reference. The music is amazing to listen too with many remixed classic themes such the DK Rap from Donkey Kong 64, Super Mario Bros 3 Airship theme, Superstar theme, Captain Toad Treasure Tacker main theme, and Attack! From Bowser's Fury also a new theme in the film called Peaches which was amazing. Paramount put in more Sonic themes in the third movie.

Chris Pratt is better than anyone would expected, Charlie Day fitted Luigi really well but we could got more of him though, Jack Black steals the show, Keegan-Michael gave us a not annoying Toad voice, Anya Taylor-Joy was an amazing fit for Peach, Seth Rogen was good as DK. Overall the Mario movie is a love letter to every Mario or Nintendo fan with amazing everything, the critics are wrong, the movie ended with an excellent location the Mario series hasn't been to much and the Rainbow Road part was stunning and the best part of the movie. The definition of a MUST WATCH!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really wanted to love this, but it turned out to be only ok. My favorite aspects: when they actually featured beloved, familiar music from the Mario games (not often enough!), and seeing familiar characters from the Mario games. My least favorite aspects of the movie are the unnecessary non-Mario music clips and hyper-aggro Princess Peach. This movie could have been improved immensely if the princess were imprisoned like she is in the games, and we got a story about the adventures of the two brothers Mario and Luigi going on an adventure to find her. The fact they make Peach a one woman army breaks the logic of why she would team up with Mario and need the help of Donkey Kong's army. As it is, the movie plot is a mishmash of random stuff. Could have been much better. Oh, well.… Expand

The voice acting I was skeptical but they all work and work well too. Jack Black is the star here. I love how they kept the story simple like all of the games. Truly felt like a video game on screen. This movie felt like a beautifully animated amusement park ride. The audio in the movie was amazing too. The sounds and the score with reimagined iconic music was perfect.

It was decent at some points but, for the most part I was rolling my eyes. It was cool being able to identify the games they referenced and so on but, their explanation for not having Italian voice actors was stupid. Mario went from navigating the hustle and bustle of New York hopping through loops like a pro, to then getting completely annihilated by a course. He was then upstaged by the usual "damsel in distress," which literally made me furious. At what point in the games is Peach the actual star? It's always Mario, he is saving Peach, she's always locked away in Bowsers' castle. In a Hollyworld that wants to push woke agendas, here we go again! As I was walking out of the theater a woman asks her husband, who exactly are the characters and their purpose and the man says, "It's Mario, Donkey Kong and Luigi, what more do you need to know?" That summarized the viewing audience for me, children and adults who literally know the IP's but, nothing of their adventures. The movie will sell well because kids will digest anything with pretty colors and stupid dialogue and parents will just go along with it. As a die hard Mario fan I left completely disappointed. The entire time, I just wanted to go home and play the video games instead. Also, I hate Illuminations animation style, the way they render eyes freaks me out and Peach didn't even put her hair in a ponytail when she consumed the fire flower. Don't get me started on how they literally bent Bowser over and just...well you know. For those saying the "fans" are over-hyping this, I once again am a die-hard fan, with extensive knowledge of the lore and I do not support this film at all. The "fans" are just a bunch of people who played Mario Kart 7 & 8 or, Mario Party 8, 9, 10 (Not the good ones.) In the words of the King, I say to this movie; BOOO!!!… Expand
