The Super Mario Bros. Movie was really amazing! Nintendo and Illumination really pulled this off! I loved everything about this movie I don’t know why critics hated it but I loved it and as a Mario fan I’m glad that I saw this

[@_baconboy_]

It has a 56% and critics don't hate it. 50% means a 5/10 so they just thought the movie was average.

[@natechenry]

@@_baconboy_still tho a 56% recommendation for this movie when Thor 4 has a 60 something percent says a lot about the site. Once again proving to not trust any sources but our own eyes

It's always really bugged me how happy the Grinch is in the movie. His change of heart at the end has no impact because he's smiling and making jokes throughout the entire film. Whenever Christmas comes around, I always choose the original cartoon because the change of heart is so authentic.

You can tell Nintendo had a hand in every single element of the Mario movie as although it had a few illumination characteristics, it was the best versions of it. Their normal schtick is heavily held back and done sparingly

[@graffiti.777]

For me, Super Mario bros is my favourite. That movie was incredible and beautiful. I loved it so much, it was so good. And I’m a big Mario fan. The Mario games were part of my childhood and I grew up with them. So the movie was very special and important to me. I need to watch it a second time

[@natechenry]

How Mario has 56% critics on rotten tomatoes baffles me. Nonetheless doesn’t matter because i had a fun time knowing the references and theme songs thrown in, and looking forward to a sequel and hoping to see wario and waluigi.

[@_baconboy_]

50% means like a 5/10

[@natechenry]

@@_baconboy_ i am aware that the percentage means how many of the critics recommend the movie but its still a ridiculously low percentage for a movie that’s pretty good when thor 4 has a higher percentage

[@user-bt9yh8jn1q]

The Movie is making so much bank.

[@tomfleming4777]

It's not baffling, when they try to turn A GAME, book or any IP into a MOVIE, people and movie studios need to realize that it's going to be criticized/reviewed by critics based on how it's made/translates into a MOVIE (story, character arcs, screenplay...etc) and not how many "easter eggs"/game references/fan service they can pack into it.

[@aidanlastname0187]

It has a 56% because it’s super mid

I’m a huge Mario fan too 😊❤️✌️

[@MarioLuigiPlushBrosMLPB]

For my top 5 1. Mario, it was everything I hoped it'd be, gave characters personalities, developed mario and peachs relationship, and showed mario and luigi being wholesome brothers, amazing 2. Despicable Me, childhood classic with a great story of a villan changing his ways 3. Sing 2, amazing story of a group of people with a dream and they make it come true 4. Sing, similar to sing 2, showing a bunch of characters doing what they love with a good story 5. Rise of Gru, funny story of a kid trying to become a villan with his little minions

Me too. I like The Grinch. The Jim Carrey film is unbearable to me and so disrespectful to Dr. Seuss IMO. The animation is colorful and gets you in the spirit of the Holidays. I like the characters he's made to his character because it's trying to be his own. IMO, it doesn't miss the message of the story. Underrated IMO.

[@milkmilk8721]

Be aware some of these I haven’t seen in a while… 13: The Lorax- It’s fun but it gets annoying fast! 12: The Grinch- Good holiday film. 11: Hop- I. WANT. CANDY! That’s all I remember. 10: Despicable Me 3- Fantastic, but there has been better! 9: Minions: Rise of Gru- Love the 80s vibe! 8: Secret Life of Pets 2- Pretty neat! 7: Minions- Everyone hates on it, I remember it being funny! 6: Despicable Me 2- Really funny! 5: Despicable Me - Classic 4: Secret Life of Pets- It’s a secret :00 3: Sing - SHAKE IT OFF! 2: Mario Movie- Lovely! 1: Sing 2- MASTERPIECE

[@fcv4616]

The whole point of The Lorax story from Dr. Seuss was about teaching kids to take care of the environment, those themes weren't just padded into the movie just to increase the film's runtime.

[@TeamDaemon1980]

I have a sorta love/hate thing with Nintendo. I'm an 80s baby just like Sean. Started playing NES by 1987 and my uncle gave me an NES in 1988 since his son was still a baby. Got an SNES, N64, GameCube, and Wii. Skipped Wii U. Barely got a Switch Lite last year in Oct. So Nintendo does mean a lot to me but at the same time, I don't always agree with some of their decisions. If you know Nintendo's history like I do, they're a mixture of Disney and Apple. Two companies I'm not always fond of. I haven't seen the Super Mario movie yet but I can tell so many people are watching it as the parking lot I usually park my car in is usually full of cars since last Wednesday. This movie can hit a billion dollars no matter how good or bad it is. I will say Nintendo catered to the right audience since the beginning. They've always been "kiddie". That's perfect because nostalgia is a powerful drug. Everyone who is seeing probably grew up with a Nintendo system in their household. Whether NES, SNES, N64, or Wii, it's like their first time in the world of gaming. So Nintendo did it right. There are children born every day. In another 40 years, they'll be like us today taking their children to watch a Mario movie and enjoying it with their own children from all the nostalgia. That was smart by Nintendo.

[@anthonyrodriguez4905]

Bowser wanting to marry Peach has been in a fair bit of Mario games. And it's something that I'm surprised Nintendo let illumination run wild with 😂 And Sing 2 is so good 💜

[@virgiliomartinezerickson8044]

People complaining about The Super Mario bros movie lack of story and yet they praise a movie like Nomadland, which its story is not that big.

[@Salty-ji1pb]

With regards to some of your critiques of the mario movie, respectfully, those critiques actually make sense based on the games. The thin script and plot were done because mario has never really had, or needed, much of a story. Miyamoto recently stated that he likes to prioritize and refine the gameplay, but not so much the story. Bowser trying to marry peach also makes sense given how in super mario odyssey, bowser's entire plan is to kidnap peach, steal a whole bunch of relics that would be helpful in a wedding from around 12 kingdoms, and marry peach. But of course, at the end of the day, I'm glad you enjoyed it. These are all your personal preferences after all, and there's nothing wrong with that. I think it might be my new personal favourite illumimation film, honestly.

I was gonna completely disagree with you saying that Despicable Me 3 is better than 2 (3 just feels like complete filler) but you gave me something to think about with the core theme of Gru being a villain and experiencing growth and how that's not present in 2, but it's put back into 3 👍

Dispicable Me (Very good for Illumination's first movie) 4. The Lorax (Very fun to watch) 5. Dispicable Me 2 (Not as good as the first one, but once again, Illumination had great ideas) 6. Minions (A pretty good underrated movie. It hasn't streamed for free in years, unfortunately) 7. Minions, The Rize of Gru (A bit more boring than I expected, but decent nonetheless) 8. Sing (A bit on the boring side, vut it was somewhat inspired) 9. The Secret Life of Pets (This movie isnt boring, it just didnt have the greatest ideas) 10. The Grinch (I personally don't like this movie very much, but there were some funny moments) 11. Dispicable Me 3 (Somewhat uninspired. It mostly just felt like a cash grab) 12.

Mario is what Illumination movies should look more like. Esp with the detailed scales and great soundtracks

My ranking: 13. Hop (it try’s to be an Easter classic but ends up being forgettable) 12. Minions (as a kid I thought it was OK but re-watching it made me realize how much it sucks) 11. The Lorax (again as a kid, I found it pretty good but I realize it’s a very weird movie that doesn’t make a whole Lotta sense) 10. Sing 2 (there is nothing really wrong with this movie but if I wanted to watch animals sing, I would just watch the first sing) 9. The secret life of pets 2 (nothing really stood out to me in this film, other than Harrison Ford but that’s it) 8. The grinch (it’s not too bad for what it is but I always prefer Jim Carreys grinch) 7. Sing (i’ve never been big on sing but then I watched it and I thought it wasn’t too bad) 6. The secret life of pets (as a kid I could not get past 15 minutes of the movie just because I thought there wasn’t anything interesting, but I decide to finally watch it after seven years and it’s really not that bad) 5. Despicable Me (this is the illumination movie that I’ve rewatch the most and can confidently say it’s good. Vector stands out) 4. Minions: The rise of gru (after watching minions, I was just hoping that I would get a good minions movie and not only did I get one but I got a big improvement of it) 3. Despicable Me 2 (I may be biased because I saw this in theaters at the time but to me, I feel like it still has the charm of the first movie and does it better) 2. Despicable Me 3 (I know this might be controversial, but I’ve always liked a franchise going on and on and I can definitely say that this is my favorite of the Despicable Me era) 1. The super Mario bros movie (this was my most anticipated movie of my lifetime, and I think the wait was worth it. As a Nintendo’s new start into films it’s off to a great start. I also think it has the best animation out of all the illumination movies besides a few errors it definitely comes in at number one)

[@lapersongd749]

Considering the quality of the more recent illumination movies, they might start focusing on quality over money. A lot of the past few movies were praised by audiences but there was this period of time after the first despicable me where it was just cash grab movies. Honestly happy to see the quality go up.

[@PACKMANNNNNNNN]

I loved the original minions when l was a kid. I still love it but minions 2 was a better flim in general. Great video Sean 🎉

Loving the channel and ranked vids! If I may humbly request, I don't know if you're a fan of Black Mirror, I'd love to see you rank all 22 episodes of Black Mirror. I did this on TikTok.

[@Dunno683]

If Super Mario movie wasn't already iconic I think it would be just under Despicable Me for me but with all the references it does what every movie is meant to do, provide amazing entertainment. Anyways, it's first for me by a loooong shot

[@mr.darkassassin7997]

Ranking all Illumination movies: 1) Definitely The Super Mario Bros movie (The movie really means everything to me and although a lot of people didn't like it. But I still enjoy it Mario is a legend video game character) 10/10 2) Sing 2 (Maybe I'll say this movie is could be a masterpiece, because it's very well-imporvement of the frist film and also the plot wasn't that boring, and the design visuals are awesome) 9.7/10 3) Despicable Me (This movie is so classic and my childhood fav, Gru is literally the best character and supervillain until she met a three girls who changed his perspective life into a good father) 9.5/10 4) Despicable Me 2 (It's amazing sequel, with the most iconic evil minions and "Happy" by Pharrel Williams is a peak catchy song that never gets old) 9.2/10 5) Sing 1 (Damn... This movie is so underrated and each characters are relatable too, and all the old songs are back, has some flaws but still ok ig Though I still prefer Zootopia) 8.3/10 6) Minions Rise Of Gru (This sequel minions movie is very unbelievable and it's also has a soild villains and this movie is really great for Gru's character) 8/10 7) Despicable Me 3 (I kinda see this third movie is a bit mediocre/mess because Gru's twin brother is kinda annoying character because they making him so forgettable, I liked this new villain it's one of best illumination villains) I'll give this a bit higher so 7.9/10 8) Minions (The plot movie is not very unique and why the minions backstories is kinda lame although still one of funniest movies. I only love Sandra Bullock as Scarlett Overkill here, she's so great) 7/10 9) Secret Life Of Pets 1 & 2 (This pet movie is very flat imo, because the story really similar like Toy Story, Although some voice actors are really awesome especially Kevin Hart as Snowball. I kinda agree this mocie is really intended for kids) I'll give them both 6.6/10 10) The Grinch (This one is better than the lorax even they're both are really bad-adaptation from the original, I kinda still think movie is heartwarming at the end) 6.2/10 And this is all my Top 10 Illumination movies

While you’ll probably have a better time if you have that Mario nostalgia, even if you don’t I believe that you can still have a great time. I went to see it yesterday with my gf who’s never played a Mario game and she had a good time.

'Despicable Me' is a classic! I've never seen the minions films but I really enjoy 'Despicable Me 2' and 'Despicable Me 3.' Gru can be a grump at times, but he's still lovable and the girls bring out the best in him!

Mario is less coherent as a film but more entertaining than Despicable Me in my opinion which is why I have it as number 1.

[@TotallyRobssed2009]

The first Despicable Me movie my fave Illumination movie so I loved to see it at number one. :) The sequels aren't as good for me. I fall asleep while watching the Minions movie in cinema. The first and only time this happens to me😂 But maybe I should give Minions two a chance. Watched the Mario movie today and I really liked it. The story could have been better but the look, the characters and the feelings while watching it were awesome.
