It would be rather funny if the one with the least is the most "Marvel-y" one a.k.a. _The Suicide Squad_ (2021) even though the MCU is doubtless guilty of excessive slow-motion too to some extent in some of its movies by this point.

Also, Mario having get help from Peach not only progresses the established image of Peach being an independent fighter but also gives Mario and Peach time to develop a relationship.

Zack Snyder directing a Max Payne movie 😂 That one had me

[@zsoltkovacs7656]

Zack Snyder directing a Max Payne movie is actually a very interesting idea

[@georgeheilman885]

The Yoshi teaser at the very end is among the finer 1998 Godzilla jokes I've seen.

[@ripx5848]

When that part about the slow-mo came up I thought of guardians 3 where the final battle felt like I was just playing a long quick time event sequence in a video game

He said what our local critic did: I didn't love it, but I'm sure if I took my kids, I'd have a blast watching them love it.

[@ricardovillon1189]

I had so much fun watching this movie. I hope this will lead into more fun video game adaptations. I'm hoping for Kirby and Ninja Gaiden down the road.

[@virgilhawkins5680]

Ninja Gaiden? Fun? 😂

[@ricardovillon1189]

@@virgilhawkins5680 Sure. If it's rated R and has cool action sequences it could be fun. It's not like we're playing the game. That's hard work.

[@orangeslash1667]

@@virgilhawkins5680 The problem is that Team Ninja may not be popular enough for that.

0:44 “he can throw his hat now, OOOOOH😱” 🤣🤣. Mario odyssey is where it’s at though, really good game. And AH don’t remind of the old mario movie

" Do a barrel roll." Appreciate the Starfox reference. 4:21

[@myriadmediamusings]

I'd like to think that the critic/audience divide just resulted in even more people watching it.

[@edmundmondo1682]

4:00 I wish that was my kid!!

[@athr3582]

😂 I watched this on cinema with my niece and nephew, we were really enjoyed it. For once they completely awake after the credit scene,

[@MattAce70]

Awesome trailer! YAHOO!! 🤩⭐ Best video game movie ever! Mostly cos Illumination actually used the source material. The lore, locations, references, easter eggs, and so much more! The movie isn't perfect, it has its issues, but it's still an adaptation done right at its core. And in the end that's all that matters. A fun theme park movie for everyone!

I was taught that peaches comes from a can, they were put there by a man in a factory downtown.

[@aderi31415]

What else are in the teaches of Peaches?

[@claytonrios1]

I'm glad Charles Martinet got a cameo. Wahoo!

[@granixo]

I would kill for a Zack Snyder-directed Max Payne film (or better yet, a series)

[@Telcontar86]

Most fun I've ever had watching a movie with no plot. My 5 year old nephew absolutely loved it, and to be fair, it's definitely targeted to his age demographic

[@lostlegend2197]

Please do an Honest Trailer for Star Wars Visions Volume 2

[@BenJuan26]

"The Chris most likely to do his own research" killed me

[@TheRavenir]

I don't get it. What is this referencing?

[@brientaylorcohen]

@@TheRavenir You'll be shocked to know that one of the meatheads named Chris is anti-science.

[@SimBol1216]

"The Chris most likely to 'do his own research'" - Oof. In fairness to Chris Pratt, he has expressed a positive view of COVID-19 vaccines. So who knows "The Teaches of Peaches" - what a throwback haha "I could eat a peach for hours" - love a Face/Off reference

[@retarepo]

ok, now I need to watch it! sounds awesome!

[@TheDistantman]

This movie was definitely fun to watch. I've watched it 3 times now since I saw it in theaters. Yeah Rotten Tomatoes can suck it

[@silver76x]

With the new All Quiet On The Western Front movie having come out recently. I will continue to ask for a honest trailer of these film or its older iterations.

[@onlinedaily411]

Awesome job guys! Keep up the good work!

[@_agent_999_]

Every time I watched these honest trailer ads it was on fandom I honestly can not believe I found one on youtube!

[@CactusJackIV]

Loved the movie! Hope that a 2nd will be even better.

[@shadowleon659]

One of the best video game movies.

[@jaco8822]

I love how in every interview about this movie, Chris Pratt sounds like he's getting held at gun point, while Jack Black sounds like he's holding the gun.

[@sahaprocks7751]

Movie was ok, but in terms of video game movies which now are actually better than bad, it’s really good

[@armelior4610]

"mario maker level" was exactly my thought when I saw this in the movie - and the "training montage" song

[@jasoncarter1869]

Best of the month "She's an honest to goodness toilet baby" 😂😂😂

[@Phaota]

I've seen the film twice now digitally and it is a masterpiece. I love the orchestral pieces of game music, all of the various Easter eggs and how well it is put together. Sure, Seth Rogan wasn't the best choice for DK, but he still did a great job with the role. There really wasn't any weak voice acting IMO. The ending did remind me a bit of "MegaMind".

[@Nohono5553]

I dont know how old you are but the movie was not that good... and the voice acting wasnt bad but totally wrong and couldve been 10000 times better with different voices. Bowsers voice was great except for the times he broke into his normal jack black voice everytime he sang and ruined it.
