My only complaint with this movie was that Luigi didn't get enough screentime. Even though the movie is called _The Super Mario Bros. Movie,_ Luigi got sidelined pretty hard. He should've had his own B plot or something. He deserved better in this movie.

[@buzzytrombone4353]

He had a realization at some point in the film that he never gave Mario a reach around for the times that he stood up for him, leading to him rescuing Mario in the fight against Bowser and working together with him.

[@PussInBootsTheLastWishFan2003]

I don’t have any flaws with The Super Mario Bros Movie I think this movie is perfect the way it is

[@complexityofdualityy]

It’s morbin time

[@GreenKnight07]

@@buzzytrombone4353 the problem Is that he got that realization at the final part with no build up whatsoever

[@Hi-cm1cj]

Facts! He could've had a B plot where he rallies up the other prisoners (and Toad) to save Peach from the wedding. He could even use the ice flower.

[@the_godbodor7026]

I absolutely love how Kamek was done in the movie. The voice acting for him was perfect, his expressions and synergy with Bowser is perfect, it’s just great. I love especially the one scene when Bowser uses his one-liner on peach only for it to not work and Kamek responds with a “doing great” with just a thumbs up from the corner of the screen which really felt like a father giving his son validation and is completely in character for Kamek who was Bowser’s father figure.

[@Gobble640]

wait what

[@liamphibia]

I'm so thankful Illumination hired an actual voice actor to voice Kamek. Kevin Michael Richardson nailed him PERFECTLY.

[@disneyvillainsfan1666]

Kevin Michael Richardson usually voices characters with deep voices, and his performance as Kamek was such a great surprise.

I knew I'd like the Mario movie a lot more than other Illumination movies because I actually laughed while watching it instead of the usual audible exhale through my nose

[@JacksonLane02]

For how long it's been since the last Mario film and how it's recieved the film plays it safe which isn't a huge problem but for a 1st film playing it safe was the right move. The cast looking back at the announcement is interesting. Jack Black and Charlie Day are perfectly casted but Pratt as Mario is interesting and odd on paper but in execution it's I would say good. I love this film but will admit it has problems granted for me they're small problems. The soundtrack might be my absolute favorite Video game adaptation soundtrack

Ah, so I see you're a man of culture as well. While Illumination wasn't my first pick to produce this movie, I do think they're the right fit. This studio deserves more credit, respect and love than what people make of it. Besides, I think the minions are hilarious! Despicble Me 2 is probably their best film imo. I don't think I would choose them to do a Zelda movie, but if they do, I want to see them expand their horizons and do something truly epic!

[@LordTylerBluGunderson]

Illumination has never really been a bad studio. I honestly don’t get why they get so much hate when Disney and even Dreamworks have put out very mid-straight garbage movies in the past in their arsenal.

I can't wait for the inevitable day this movie comes out on Netflix. It will become one of my most watched movies as a massive Mario fan.

Really hope the literal insane commercial success means a sequel!

I like this movie a lot, it has flaws like having no depth and being way too fast paced. If this movie had 10 or 20 extra minutes to just chill it could’ve been a masterpiece but for now it’s a fun time for kids and adults with pretty animation, great music. Tons of nice references, great voice acting, and a good batch of jokes 8/10

I know that the pacing could feel a bit too quick 4 sum and the story could be somewhat “lacking”, but that’s kind of the whole point. A Mario Movie isn’t really supposed 2 have this weird Shakespearean poetry attached 2 it, it’s just supposed 2 be an awesome fun time.

@@LordTylerBluGunderson I know the movie isn’t meant to be flawless, and it does what it’s trying to do. But even if a film isn’t trying to be a masterpiece. It’s still not a masterpiece. I think the only flaws are the lack of depth and emotion, and the pacing as I mentioned before. I still think the movie is very good and am super excited to see a franchise come from it. I just think the first outing is somewhat flawed even if the strengths outnumber it by a pretty good bit Probably the best illumination movie and my third favorite film of the year

[@LordTylerBluGunderson]

@@UFLUFLUFLUFLUFLUFLUFLUFLUFLUFL Okay, so it’s not a masterpiece…but that’s just in your opinion. There’s no movie ever in existence that can be objectively justified as a “cinematic masterpiece”. Everything when it comes to debate is all opinion-based, not factual-based. I still consider it a masterpiece because it was a non-stop awesome time and a movie that I’ve waited 4 my entire life. There were tons of emotional moments with Mario/Luigi, and Mario/Peach. It’s trying 2 introduce the casual audience 2 the world of Mario, and it did it perfectly in my opinion. I love Illumination movies, but this one is by far my favorite one. Hopefully Despicable Me 4, Pets 3, and Sing 3 will be incredible as well.

Imo, the ending should've been more action packed (not saying that it isn't already action packed), like what if Bowser fell in the lava while mario was trying to stop the bullet bill from hitting the castle, and as bowser became dry bowser, everyone made it to earth, and the earth became hell.
