"Would princesses find him attractive? If they have good taste they would!" After years and years of Mario is a sociopath and bad brother online, it was nice to see them being good loving brothers throughout the film. I was smiling just as much as you were my friend.

[@neo-didact9285]

That's an issue with having an important character being a silent protagonist.

[@fantasyfox965]

The reason why everyone says they are smiling throughout the whole movie is because there's something about Mario and Luigi that makes people happy. I'm going to see it tomorrow and I hope to hear a lot of clapping.

Especially his singing of peaches. The music video is legit top 5 trending right now. Seeing him sing in the movie made me smile the whole time, it was a good idea for Jack Black to voice Bowser, nailed it

[@VTTVpsycho]

Saw it today, and it was great! It should have been 15-20 minutes longer, so that they could have gone into depth with all the different characters, but overall I can’t wait for the sequel!

[@TannerRox3000]

​@@kaitlando636 I'm thinking 3 years hopefully. Longest would probably be 4 years from now. 2 years if we get extremely lucky, but animated movies take a longer time to make than non animated films unfortunately

@@TannerRox3000 I kn.. after all the hype and waiting for its release it was over too soon. with the movie being fast paced and short lol

[@TannerRox3000]

@@kaitlando636 yeah that was my biggest complaint about the movie, it was really short, and it felt like it was going a mile a minute. Also they could've done character development better, but I think they are planning to do a better story and character development in a sequel, I feel like this movie was just testing the grounds in the safest way. Now that being said, I thought it was a fantastic origin movie. And pacing is definitely something they can fix in the sequel

[@kaitlando636]

@@TannerRox3000 I was disappointed with how short and fast it was as well. But I was thinking that maybe the first movie was a test/tease and that they will go all out on the sequel. Kinda what sonic did for its first movie. It ddnt have much and then had a ton of stuff in the next movie

Nobody wanted a complex story. We just wanted more character development. Keep all the action and build the characters a bit more, you have best video game adaptation. But as it is, it's hella fun.

"I couldn't stop smiling!" That sums up exactly how I was watching it. I was distracted by my happiness. I took my twins, who wore their Mario and Luigi hoodies, which I bought as smalls when the hoodies were too big for them to wear 6 years ago, and now they're 14. It's gonna require multiple viewing for us as well.

[@robertjustice3814]

I adored this movie, will be seeing it again! I could’ve easily sat through a 3-hr version of this, but I know they had to keep it short for the kids. I want to see not only sequels, but a whole Nintendo universe led by Illumination. 🔥

[@jenfripps7025]

This was the movie we needed!! My husband and I went to see it first then we took our kids today. When we went first, I almost cried! Other than a couple of things that could’ve been kept out ( the pop songs smh), it was perfection!

[@PaleoSteno]

My main complaint was about the pacing, just felt like some moments could have had room to breathe a bit more. I'm also a little bit miffed that they replaced some of the original score that was found on the soundtrack of a Donkey Kong Country arrangement with a pop song, because the original score in the movie is SO GOOD! Other than that though, I really enjoyed it as a Nintendo fan.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

Okay, I don't think it's fair to call Take On Me "a pop song" with no fanfare, buuuuuuuuuuuut yeah.

This is just one of those cases where some critics just got it wrong. They are allowed to dislike the film but a lot of them just didn't get it or purposely hated it for whatever reason.

[@kirkyturki1546]

I personally thought the movie was mid, but Chris actually did a good job. It was the writing and execution that killed it for me. I had a good time though

[@eldritchpumpkinghost2968]

Critics wanted a story with layers, critics want art when they see movies. Audiences just want mindless fun. The difference in scores makes sense.

[@kirkyturki1546]

@@eldritchpumpkinghost2968 Precisely. Well said.

[@amari648]

@@kirkyturki1546 I mean the writing wasn’t that bad tho. Instead of peach getting kidnapped first for the 1000th time, its actually Luigi who gets captured and peach is badass in this movie. Bowser playing the piano, the Mario odyssey reference, the penguins from Mario 64, spike from wrecking crew, a battle royal on rainbow road and bowser extremely pissed off by Mario slapping him around and gets defeated in the coolest way better by both bros is probably the coolest a Mario story can get 😂

[@amari648]

@@eldritchpumpkinghost2968 These are the same critics who give good movies and game’s terrible scores because of things like “oh it’s too colorful or “the characters are too cringe for my liking” this is a fricking MARIO MOVIE what more do you expect. It’s not sonic where you get a full fleshed out story and stronger character development. It’s just supposed to be a simple fun but serious towards the end once they face the big bad.

[@Akron162]

They set out to make a simple, fast-paced, entertaining kids movie and achieved that perfectly. You may like it or not, that's down to taste, but I see a lot of people criticizing it for not being a comedic masterpiece or a deep, complex philosophical study on the nature of human relations or whatever. Like they wanted it to be Pixar but with Mario. Sometimes good enough is just good enough.

[@matthewpaul6904]

When Bowser started singing, with all the crazy things in this movie, was the only time that made me go "so this is happening" 😂

[@fumi2360]

as a fan of mario since a kid, this movie hit every note, this is how you do a video game movie, i felt like a kid again watching this movie

[@alexanderklepp]

This movie looks like fun and I'm glad you enjoyed it a lot, Andre. Your enthusiasm is so infectious.

[@BlasianIvy]

I waited to see the movie myself before I watched/read anything - spotify really tried to ruin Bowser's song for me several times, and I saw it this past weekend. Being old enough to say that I literally grew up with Mario Bros, this really hit all of the nostalgia goodness I wanted while also being gorgeously animated. Is it a "good" story? That's subjective, but I thought it was fine. I've told people that 10-years-old me (whose favorite movie was Space Jam) would've loved the hell out of it, no criticisms. Even as an MB novice, I was able to giddily pick up on the references quite a bit in order to point them out to my sister. And i cannot get over the art style and soundtrack. Just... *chef's kiss* It's just such a fun movie overall, and, y'know, I might see it again, too.

[@robozombie9026]

The pop songs used were the big hits when a Mario game was released, ie Take on Me was the same year as Mario 1 on the NES

[@Jestylor6]

What are the main things that confused me is when they got there Luigi got captured Mario made it clear he had to save his brother as quickly as possible. During that time they had several day and night cycles so I couldn't tell if this happened over the course of like 5 days or weather it was supposed to indicate that stuff was happening at the same time but if it's that one I do not get that impression. The only other thing I can really think of is a criticism because overall I enjoyed it with Mario's Dad finally said he was proud of his son after he was super saiyan fighting a crazy Dragon monster through the streets of New York and I was like "That's what it took so you could be proud of your son!?" That was kinda weird also...

[@vinniequick]

I was smiling with my brothers the whole time and every time there was any reference we looked to eachother and those smiles became grins, also the kamek and bowser playing piano made me grin so hard my mouth hurt

[@hpcriticall8108]

The fact the movie was paced so well for how Mario as a game feels. It didnt really miss a beat keeping up with my attention and the beat of the story. That was legitimately impressive. As its oddly something a lot of Nintendo Games fail at.

[@usernameunknown69]

Oh….my….god…………..we’re leading up to a Super Smash Bros movie aren’t we? I could see illumination doing a Sci-Fi/Thriller for Samus, a Fantasy/Adventure for Zelda/Link, a mystery film for Ness/Lucas, a Pilot/Dogfight film for Fox/Falco, could totally work if they do it correctly

[@akerumiyamoto]

I don't think they will

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

I will cry in a few years if it leads to that. Legitimately cry. Nintendo everything getting respectfully made movies leading to that. God, I wanna hope.

[@tinlunlau1]

Loved it when Cranky Kong told Diddy Kong to shut up. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Herowebcomics]

This movie looks amazing! Sure it may not be the deepest thing ever,but it's shaping up to be the best official Mario movie ever!

[@alexanderpontier540]

I literally told the people I saw the movie with that I'd love it, as a gag, is that DK is friendly to everyone except Mario. For instance, in the final fight, DK gives Bowser an honest Bro-talk about how Peach doesn't like him, he should improve himself, and Bowser almost goes with it then goes back to being the bad guy. I love the film for what it is though.

[@blackdragon227]

The movie was what I expected from an Illumination movie with a good bit of the writing, but I still really enjoyed myself with it. Plenty of fun to be had with it!

[@RadzPrower]

I think the scene between Mario and DK works well the way it is. They're both in similar boats with their families but it just wouldn't work with Luigi since it would be commiserating over the same family. A large part of that scene was to show Mario and DK that it's not JUST their families that are like that and despite their differences, they're more alike than they think. Plus, having Luigi around more would lessen the impact of the later scenes as well.

[@justingarrett2239]

I wonder why a new Toad General was used and not Toadsworth

[@kristjanbirnirivansson528]

10:10 to 10:32 - I would like to think that this movie is set in 1980s. Hence Mario playing Kid Icarus on his NES console. Also the Donkey Kong Arcade Machine in the cafe sequence.

[@RedRanger216]

YUP, IT WAS BY DESIGN, THEY USED SONGS THAT WERE CHART TOPPERS AT THE TIME IT WAS RELEASED IN 1985!

Just came back from the theater and it was a solid watch. A Pretty safe one with a standard plot, but I felt like I needed that in the time where 2-3 hours movies are more normal. I would of had more orchestral renditions of the Mario library be used rather than using licenced songs, but at least they weren't intrusive as much.

As someone who has never been huge Mario fan of video game fan i was still looking for this movie, because it looked fun and colorful and i have always had soft spot for those type of movies and i dont wanna see movie fail. I didnt expect this movie to be animated masterpiece like Beauty And The Beast. Only thing i wanted to have good and fun time in movie theater and escape reality for some hours and movie did its job and i was happy at end 😊. Im pretty sure that kids will like this movie. Great review Andre and take care and stay safe 👍.

[@Zach_eats]

I loved this movie so much! It brought back so many great memories. I do agree with you I kinda wish Mario and Luigi had more screen time together. That would have made sense this is a foundational movie. They should have had Mario and Luigi save peach instead of peach and Mario saving Luigi. Nonetheless I enjoyed Mario and Peaches chemistry. This movie was amazing and I can’t wait to see the sequels/spin-offs.

Lucky Americans get to see it early. The movie is yet to be released on April 19 from where I'm from. I can already see the camcorded version available on some streaming sites but I ain't giving Mario that treatment. I'm watching it in theatres where it's supposed to be experienced!

You NEED to watch this in 4DX. The stuff with that turns this movie into a 2 hour roller coaster.

[@RafaelLuna99]

Too many references for me, pop songs didn't do any favors for me either. They should have taken inspiration from the Super Mario Bros comic series. Casting and visuals were the only things I like. 5/10

Could've slowed it down a tad and delved a little more into Mario , peach and Luigi.

Couldn't agree more with your thoughts and review (except for the voices since I've watched it in Italian, absolutely rewatching it in English and also Japanese as soon as the DVDs come out or if I find them elsewhere before), as a big Mario and Nintendo fan this movie was pure joy despite its issues, in fact my only personal gripe is that it's short, wanted to see even more of it (of course without going overboard)!

[@brianjl7477]

You know, I agree with you that the 1993 movie isn't that bad...well, it IS pretty bad, but I still like it. It's just so insane that it's hard not to like. They really committed to it and you gotta respect that. This one though, THIS is the SMB movie we've always needed. It was great - pretty much just spot on. I'm glad to see it being so successful, despite what the overly critical non-fans have to say about it. This thing was basically a Super Mario Bros. game as a movie. What more could you want?

[@PhilospherDjPsychologist24]

Come to think of it, a Mario Party Movie would probably be a good idea I know they are sitting on Lugis mansion for 2 or 3, depending on how this movie goes but after you had 3 movies with these characters, they could probably handle a movie which it just them scheming and bouncing off each other

I am one of the few people that enjoyed the 90s Mario movie. And I loved this movie too! It was so fun. My only criticism is that Luigi was sidelined for most of the movie and I would've liked to see him have more of an active role. I don't mind that he was captured instead of Peach, it gives a stronger more personal motivation for Mario to go on this quest, but he really doesn't do much once he's captured. Plus, the movie was at its best when the bothers were working together. But it was so enjoyable!

I REALLY loved giving Mario the "doesn't know when to quit" theme. It suits his character so much. Like they made sure he's still a nice, kind, stand up guy who wants to help people, but they also made him just a bit of a stubborn, reckless meathead. Similarly Luigi was less of a coward and more just cautious and generally socially anxious, I loved that characterization for him too. And it's not like either can't be extrapolated from the games.

The entire movie is an absolute love letter to the games and I think that's what I love most about it. There were so many references and nods, both in-your-face and very subtle blink-and-you'll-miss, but it never felt like it was too much. The scene on the rainbow road is one of my favorites, both with it's attention to detail and how the karts are actually driven in-game. 10 out of 10, would recommend and watch again.

I simply look at it like this: This was Miyamoto’s Mario movie. He invented Mario over 35 years ago, and this was his vision the entire time since. I would take that ten times out of ten, and then another ten, over Oscar bait, critic bait schlock that takes liberties and couldn’t be further from authentic. It was brilliant. It was as much a quintessential Mario product as any Mario game. I loved it and I’m grateful to live in the blessed timeline I do.

Just got out the theater with my daughter. We loved it! Couldn’t disagree with the critics enough. Plus everyone in my theater was clapping when it ended. 🔥

[@TheMellowMutantShow]

My son and I had a blast watching it too

[@rank0011]

Same !

[@Cheeseshredder]

same, I loved the mario movie and enjoyed this review. I just watched Angry Joe's review earlier today. Man those guys really disliked it.

[@Denjiman-qz9mi]

I do wonder if having a kid helps my enjoyment with this movie. I liked it, minus the 80's music.

[@WretchedDrummer]

People in my theater were clapping after too. A lot of parts of the movie had us all laughing. I enjoyed it!!

[@JayJoe1984]

Just took my son, so much feels. The music scores, different characters, etc.. This is the Mario Movie 80s babies been waiting for forevvvvvver.

[@TheMellowMutantShow]

Took my son to watch it too, definitely agree

Fun is the key here. My kids had fun, I had fun. I wasn't going in looking for the Casablanca of kids movies. We just wanted to have a good time and this provided it in droves. Also, the animation was absolutely beautiful.

YES!!! Finally, someone said it. Mario's personality traits are the heart of every gamer who has grabbed a control stick. The feeling I got from Mario when he stand up time after time. As one who has personally lost thousands of times, spending countless extra 1-up to beat one world sometimes even one level, or starting back at the beginning town after your game fails to save (POKEMON Yellow - GBC).

I laughed out loud, when in one run Mario finally dodged the rotating obstacle by just breaking the ground and going around it on a lower level XD

[@Dargonhuman]

@@fumomofumosarum5893 That's what we in the business call a "pro-gamer move" lmao.

I’m with you Andre. Saw this with my nieces and we all loved it. Got very excited when Mario got the cat suit power up
