The best part of the movie is definitely the OST. Finally, a movie based on a videogame that doesn't use the original music as an Easter egg, but actually incorporates all of the motifs from the source material in the appropriate context and layers them into the score. It's such an asset to the film that it made the instances of pop music all the more lazy and jarring (especially since the official soundtrack release has cut pieces of the score that were replaced by said pop music).

I don't agree that critics are going too hard on it. The average review score is still around a 5.6 right now.

Even just 15 extra minutes for character development or pacing to let scenes and actions breathe would have gone a long way.

Saw it with my 4 year old niece. She loved it and I really liked it, she got through the whole thing without ever feeling bored. It's the second movie she's seen in a theatre, she's 4. As a longtime fan of the video games, my eyes lit up several times and although it is in fact mostly a kid's movie I had a wonderful time. This movie can be big, as it introduces a big vintage universe to a young audience in a fun way and with a heart - like first Space Jam big.

Watched it yesterday. I loved it

[@tstimbo3471]

I saw this and the dnd movie both in the same day with 30 minutes between each other and I gotta say both movies are really fun and I surprisingly enjoyed a lot of things in them

[@EdgyZiggy]

DnD was A LOT better than I expected. I actually thought the trailers were dogshit and some articles had me really rolling my eyes. But it was fun. I was pleasantly surprised

​@@EdgyZiggyBoth of them showed a lot of restraint in the "LOOK! REFERENCE!! LAUGH!!" department

[@gregorysteffensen3279]

Dungeons and Dragons is my favorite Hollywood adventure-fantasy blockbuster since at least PotC 1 if not the Frasier Mummy - WAY better than I expected, in that it really trusts the audience and doesn't have much (greater than zero but much less than usual) self-deprecating Marvel-Whedon style humor. Also tons of practical effects and sets, which I have missed. It's been eight years since Mad Max: Fury Road and a decade since PacRim, both of which are more sci-fi adventures, but it's closer to those than any other post-MCU blockbuster in the amount of care given

I surprisingly enjoyed the D and D movie more than I thought I would. It wasn't a masterpiece by any stretch. But I was expecting a train wreck. And I got something that was pretty fun.

[@below-minus]

Pretty good movie, wasn't amazing but a fun time, 7/10

[@Firemarth]

I really liked the movie. As you say, is simple. But it does have a lot of references, I found it fast paced, the comedy worked where it had to work. And another thing, it was amazing to hear kids and adults in the cinema both recognizing characters, laughing, and even cheering for the protagonists... it was wholesome. About voice acting, i watched it in latin spanish and it was quite good actually.

[@emilianobarrera2003]

I went to see it in my home city here in Mexico and I'm telling you the theater was PACKED. Plus the humor really resonated with audiences.

[@richardthemagician8991]

Honestly, I feel like all the people saying that made sense to not have Charles martinet voice Mario aren't giving him enough credit as a voice actor. The dude has incredible range And you hear it in this movie when he does is classic Mario voice and then does the voice for Mario's father. I feel like he could have found that would have worked for the film. You can get a sense of that middle ground when you hear him interact and have conversations with fans at the different conventions. He stays in character and does the voice the entire time. And it just sounds like Mario having a conversation. That's just my take on it. Everyone's going to have their own opinion. I think what made it feel weird for me wasn't necessarily that was Chris Pratt or anyone else voicing Mario. I filled the character just wasn't written to sound or feel like Mario. There are moments where it felt like Mario. But for the most part, it felt like a different character that we were calling Mario. Anyway, thanks for the video! I love them. Keep them coming!

Love it when cosmonaut puts up a video but really has been bugging me they are so short. Suffering from success it seems lmao. His content is so enjoyable for me that the only problem I have with that it’s not longer anymore lol

[@jacobzacarias]

Thank the yt algorithm for that lmaooo 😒 im hoping for more videos like the dnd and warhammer one eventually

[@mareksbodnieks4796]

ooo, can't wait to see this one, really appreciate your work!

[@VkG249]

Marcus's impression of Mario is the funniest thing I've heard all day

[@slippinsettle4942]

I love me some Cosmonaut

[@IamZedX]

He says he 'usually sides with the critics' as if he not going to this time, and then basically does the entire review lmao

[@sideeyed7682]

His takes are so inconsistent to even take seriously at this point. He gave off the impression that part of the reason why he couldn’t enjoy this film was because the tone was to kiddy but i remember how knees deep he was when Watts made the tone of spider-man homecoming kiddy and “fun”, literally praising those aspects of the film the most.

[@bebo2629]

@@sideeyed7682 He did not say this was just fine because it is kiddy but as an adault it is absolutely fair to say that this movie is not for you if it has little to nothing for you in it.

[@tonymartinez1978]

I took my nephew to watch this and between his sheer excitement and my nostalgia, I gotta say this was the most fun I’ve had in a movie theater in a while

[@Dgjserffft]

Bro imagine you in kindergarten and you hand in your drawing of your family and Marcus walks up and gives you a “fine ig😒” sticker💀💀💀

[@thehumanity0]

Gotta say Betty White as Yoshi was a weird choice, but by the end I was hooting and cheering as she basically stole the show in the 3rd Act.

[@clockstomper]

For having Miyamoto involved, I'm surprised they got as much story in as they did. Love the dude, but he's super minimalist

[@MegapiemanPHD]

It's neat that we live in an age where even a sub-par and fine movie can look visually great. The art direction and design for this film is defiantly it's top quality.

[@freeboing9859]

We need more sticker rating reviews lmao

[@Baller4Now]

I was expecting to be FUMING when I saw your video because, like you said, critics are going a little too hard on this one. I'm glad you got some enjoyment out of it though. I loved it, took my daughter to see it for her first film, loved the easter eggs. Great quickie!

[@vantacreates]

lol "i hear mario bring up his dad and I dont feel bad..i just laugh" lmaooo hilarious

[@krinkle721]

This is all correct. I thought it was fine. My six year old son gave it two thumbs way up. And he just sings "Peaches" to himself all day.
