How can you not think that Bowser wanting to capture and marry Peach doesn't fit? It's literally his main motivation in EVERY SINGLE GAME!!!

[@tdog2658]

yeah lol!

[@DSxGoldSilver]

That’s the most Bowser thing ever

[@carterd5364]

Because in the games, he just does it. He captures peach and goes on with it. It’s not his main goal; he really wants to capture the mushroom kingdom. But in this they make him kind of a sissy and make his whole motivation about getting with peach, who by the way is a strong women with no story arc whatsoever. That’s just my opinion though.

[@peterf08]

@@carterd5364 In the Mario world comics and in Super Mario Oddesey, bowser’s goal is to marry peach. In fact his wedding costume comes from Mario Oddesey

[@masonsamvsandmemes5114]

As a Mario fan, I was pleasantly surprised by this, I feel like it hit all the right notes with being a Mario adaptation. I really enjoyed it, it gave me just what I wanted. Only gripe is I wanted 15 more minutes of this movie so that more things could be fleshed out. Other than that, a 9/10 movie for me

[@ethanyoshida114]

I would agree with you

[@woozleproductions9760]

I have two points. 1) I love “Holding Out For a Hero” way too much to complain about it being in the film. 2) Bowser’s storyline is surprisingly game accurate. The film has almost the same plot as Mario Odyssey, especially with Bowser’s motives.

[@braydencarter2419]

The rainbow road scene was literally a masterpiece, such a beautiful gorgeous experience on the big screen

[@supermariogamer1757]

My favorite scene in the whole movie, Koopa general was badass and threatening, wanting to kill Mario and then he destroyed the track when he turned into the blue shell.

[@alexcninjagotuber]

I just got back from watching it, it was a fun nostalgia trip. I love Mario and Luigi’s brotherhood, and there were a lot of surprises.

[@kosmosu2]

Miyamoto: "Was it a fun movie?" Fans: "Oh yeah it was a ton of fun." Miyamoto: "Then we did our job well." critics: "It could have been better though!" Miyamoto: "Can you recall when we actually cared about critical reception?" Everyone: "errrr......Mario....Galaxy?" Miyamoto: "I made Star fox on the Wii U and made it fun for the fans....... try again." At the end of the day, For us adults we wish there was more than just 5 chicken nuggets, we adults need at least 10 with some fries and a drink. For the younger audience this absolutely was a fun ride that is likely to be background noise for parents to deal with for the next 5 ytears. But Nintendo wanted to bring a fun experence without careing what people really think..... I think they accomplished what they set out to do. Internationally this will do really really well esp in the Japanese box office.

[@kirbyboycoolness6734]

I’d say adults can enjoy this movie as well. Especially if they grew up with the Mario franchise

[@xenophonanthony2791]

The movie was terrible unfortunately.

[@peterzeller5736]

I felt like Mario’s arc was fitting for a video game movie considering how none of us are super good at any video game coming out of the gate but with practice and perseverance we level up to being able to defeat a boss we never would’ve been able to defeat when we first began. Mario’s arc is the arc of anyone who has ever played a video game 😊

[@katieulrich8445]

Great point! I was thinking the same!!

[@liviecarter1854]

Agreed Mario is literally my favorite character of all time 😊🥰❤️

[@jwroot]

One of the directors confirmed that. And it's ingenious!

[@AceHuman]

Really enjoyed the movie. I grew up watching the original movie and played the games all my life. I only went in wanting to have fun, and it worked lol. Jack black and Anya Taylor were my favorite characters. They went above and beyond.

[@herochris1221]

Just got through watching it early on noon and it was so freakin good! Nintendo and Illumination did not disappoint and everything worked with the source material to program all of the elements and easter eggs from the Mario video games. I won’t trust any of the critic reviews with a 54% and audience score so far got a 97% so I had a great time watching it to see Mario on the big screen! This is by far my new favorite video game adaptation and I highly recommend it to give it a watch from start to finish!

[@QuestionAsker-fi9rc]

I hated it, but agree to disagree.

[@jenfripps7025]

So Bowser wanting to marry Peach isn’t something that was thrown in there. In Mario Odyssey, the mission of the game is to save Peach because Bowser is forcing her to marry him.

[@Rockstar-bq5fm]

I was flicking back through some if you’re older videos Sean, started with you’re Mad Max ranking video and couldn’t help but laugh at how low budget it is compared to now. But it just shows how hard you’ve worked to get to where you are now. It’s honestly great stuff.

[@Yoshizuyuner]

I don’t get what’s weird with bowser liking peach is basically his character in video games

[@michaelrusso906]

Bowser has wanted to marry Peach for years. Super Mario Odyssey was completely built on that plot line.

[@infinite6458]

As a life long mario fan this movie was Incredible!.

[@chrisalextime94]

I literally saw the movie less than an hour ago so here’s my fresh take on the movie: I think it’s a very fun film, right off the bat, all of the Nintendo Easter eggs are really fun to search for, the story is coherent a feels like a general Mario story, and you get used to the voices, I understand if you’re not a fan of Illumination’s use of pop-songs throughout their films, but for me, someone who’s a massive fan of 80s/90s music, I found myself jamming quite a bit, and the retro music fits with the era Mario is from in my opinion, it definitely has its cringeworthy moments, but overall it’s a solid video game movie 8/10 👍

[@zacharywarling7598]

I agree that it definitely rushed plot points especially the ending, but I actually really liked the Bowser story. It made sense to me and Jack Black was incredible as always. I was laughing to tears at a couple of times.

[@IggyUKoopa]

Hi Sean! Love your videos. Your complaint about Bowsers motivation is perfectly valid! I will say it wasn’t out of nowhere for me because it was his main motivation in two of the more popular mario games after the 2000s began. Doesn’t change whether it works or doesn’t work for you of course, but since I was used to it, it didn’t bother me. He’s also considered quite a comic in the spin offs. I’m glad you liked the movie, and keep it up as always!

[@williamhowe6737]

SEAN that intro was FANTASTIC!

[@masonboulton8126]

No spoilers, but the plot of this movie really reminded me of the plot in Antman and the Wasp Quantumania😂. Both movies have the main characters get sucked into this unknown world and split apart. Then discover people that live there who help them to find each other. And finally have to defeat a villain who rules the world, trying to ‘conquer’ it.

[@Spyalwayswins]

[@SomeoneWeird-vx5jx]

Spoilers: In the newest Mario game Mario Oddesey, Bowser’s motivation is to marry peach. This didn’t spawn from that game, for it originated from the super Mario world comics, and Is mentioned in Super Paper Mario. I’d say the movie pulls a lot from the Mario word comics, as Peach is more than a damsel in distress and Mario and Luigi are shown as plumbers. They also both end in a wedding scene and both have bowser sing. I Thought it was a great direction to go in as it adds to why Bowser would want to capture peach other than to be a conqueror.

[@jwroot]

BEST- 👑 Jack Black's Bowser Charlie Day's Luigi Kevin Michael Richardson's Kamek. Decent- 👍🏻 Keegan Michael Key's Toad Chris Pratt's Mario Anya Taylor Joy's Princess Peach WORST-💩 Fred Armisen's Cranky Kong Seth Rogen's Donkey Kong

I actually thought thar bowser wanting to marry peach was great. That's his motivation in multiple games and in the FIRST mario movie which was an anime in Japan, that was his motivation as well

[@mr.dookie3243]

I think Peachs arc is that she realizes she can rely on others and doesn't have to fo everything herself

[@BrianCabbage]

I actually disagree with the whole bowser plot line. I think this plot line fit so perfectly because in all the games I think of bowser as this big evil villain but always wants peach so when he just wanted her to marry him i thought that worked really well for someone like bowser. Completely agree with wishing it was longer tho

[@spiderbray4117]

I loved all of the cameos and easter eggs. When I heard that theme song from the tv show I got hyped because I loved that show 😂

[@Marshall1026]

I saw it with a bunch of my college buddies and we had an absolute BLAST. The soundtrack being composed of overused pop songs I felt was intentional and added so much tongue-in-cheek humor to the film. All the humor, from the blue star to Bowser singing about Peach had us wheezing rolling around in our seats. Couldn’t have had a better time.

[@icebergthegamer]

And the songs fit. With his complaints, I was expecting the songs to be awful. I saw the movie today and I’m like maaaan that’s fine. This song is great here lol.

[@QuestionAsker-fi9rc]

The soundtrack was pretty bad but this is Illumination we are talking about. Why would i expect better from them anymore? 😂

[@Jackosaurus117]

Spoilers*** I know what you’re referring to with the “weird direction for Bowser” but that’s literally what happens in Super Mario Odyssey so it makes sense

[@frameratestudio]

Chad here - I really enjoyed this movie. I personally liked how "short" it was, because it didn't allow Illumination the chance to overdo it with the comedy. What I like to call the SNL effect. For me it was a kids movie where you, as the adult, go to feel like a kid again. It has soo many Easter eggs that upped the rewatch factor for me, because I know I didn't catch them all. Honestly I thought all the voice acting worked, with one cranky exception, but that was minor. It was beautiful, a true feast for the eyes. So I gave it an 8/10

[@MichealAfton1983]

Just saw it and I’d give it a 9/10 (btw won’t spoil but stick around for the post credits scenes, mainly the second one)

[@lac818]

Don’t understand the bowser complaint if your a fan of the video games. It’s pretty much in line with his character. The 80s songs in a game created in the 80s also makes sense

[@SanFran21]

Bowsers motives actually made a lot of sense tying it into all of the games. I’m also just a big Mario fan tho..

[@YuvrajHaldankar]

I'm not someone who played Mario growing up. I've only partially played one game, and have mostly seen my friends play it. My knowledge of the IP ends at the names of certain popular characters, Charles Martinet the OG voice actor, and the classic sounds and music queues. So I did not get any of the references, or nostalgia kicks. To me, this was an okay fare. I had fun, but it was after years that I wasn't thinking about the film the second I stepped out of the theatre. I loved Jack Black, and the banter between Mario and Donkey Kong though. Those I did really like. Otherwise, this was a 6 out of 10, and a B-.

[@Fourger14]

Bowser being in love with Peach is in a ton of other Mario media, even the really old origin story cartoons, so that aspect was faithful to the source material. Yes, it's weird, but that's the point.

[@entertainmentlife430]

I am a 90s kid but i was never really into video games but i had brothers who were and would play super mario games ALL THE TIME so i have a vague idea of what mario is about. I also watched the cartoon show as a kid and thought that was fun. I really enjoyed this. It felt like a fun fluffy movie from the 90s being both action packed and funny. I especially liked the new elements of bowser wanting to force peach into marriage because he loved her and peach being a strong indepebdent woman who didnt need a man to rescue her. Definitely a fun watch and something i recommend.

[@samcerbone6259]

Anybody caught that appearance of king boo at the wedding

[@AmauriPoyntz]

Great review Sean and tbh I loved it too it did have a few issues with it as well but I loved the whole cast and the energy they brought to their characters and jack black as Bowser is phenomenal the guy is a legend I hope he does come back for the sequel as well

Loved playing the OG Mario game from the NES, playing Mario Sunshine on the GameCube, Mario Kart on Wii (eventually the switch), and lastly the great Super Mario Odyssey on my Switch. Wahoo!!! Let’s-a-hope we get a true Nintendo Cinematic Universe! The NCU!!

[@GFettJake]

I just saw it. I give it a solid 8 or 8.5 maybe even 9 out of 10. I really enjoyed it. Especially the Easter eggs

[@goliath_beast7967]

Just saw the Mario movie yesterday, and I absolutely loved it. I had so much fun picking out all of the little references to the games while also enjoying the original story. Probably my favorite part of the movie is Princess Peach. In the games, I never really liked how she was always a damsel in distress. She always felt like an object you had to save instead of being an actual person. In the movie, I love how she's more of a military general and is willing to fight Bowser to the very end. I quite liked Chris Pratt as Mario, but my favorite performances were Jack Black as Bowser (obviously), and Seth Rogan as Donkey Kong.

[@deloresjordan4913]

I enjoyed the movie but I wished the other characters, such as Daisy, Wario, and Waluigi, were there. I agree that most plot points were rushed and not fully incorporated. I also believe there should've been more fighting action scenes between Bowser and Mario. They should've never made Bowser be so sentimental and desperate to win Peach over but should've shown more of his angrier side. Also, I know it is a Mario movie but I would've loved to see more of Luigi doing more than just being tied up.

Sean, idk if you've played the recent Mario games but in Super Mario Odyssey the main plot is that Bowser kidnaps Peach to marry her. So, his obsession with Peach and even the wedding are "canon" and didn't come as a surprise for me. Still, I'm seeing it through the eyes of a huge Nintendo fan.

[@ilikeeverything.5900]

I feel like this is a MASTERPIECE of a Mario movie but as a "Film" it's very Weak.

[@NinthShinigami]

Tbh, that’s not the best way to compare things, at least for me. I’m going to be comparing Mario to other video game adaptations and not Shawshank or Pulp Fiction or Lord of The Rings, cause just no, no way am I going to enjoy it like that. Im going to compare it to Sonic, Cyberpunk, Arcane, Last of Us (more so in adaptation and not writing wise). Tho I can respect that way of seeing things, and I do acknowledge it…

[@ilikeeverything.5900]

@@NinthShinigami But it absolutely delivers as a Mario film with all the references to the games and stuff but with it's stupidly Fast Pacing and lack of Character Development it fails in some Key parts of making a Great Film. However the complaints about Bowser's motivation and the simple story the movie has are just a joke because if you've played the games before then you know that's how it's supposed to go. Anyways comparing to a movie like Sonic. Sonic is a lot slower movie but it leads you to spending more time with these characters and getting to know them better, the Character development is also decent and well done in both movies. The pacing is weird and fast in Sonic 2 but it actually helps the film since Sonic 1 was slow because it was letting us getting to know the characters and the world and Sonic 2 still finds some time to explore the characters and develop them like the scene where Sonic and Knuckles talk on the Beach after Robotnik betrayed him. It's main focus is the Characters. But the Mario Movie's Main focus was to reference every single Mario game they can which to be fair led to a beautiful Love Letter but it also led to a weak script thanks to the Poor writing of the Film. I've seen many people complain about this and that they wanted to see the worlds and characters be explored more.

Some things to consider with Bowser. Have you played Mario Odyssey? If so it might help your understanding of why the film-makers featured Bowser like that. Also if Nintendo plans on creating a cinematic universe with many Nintendo IP then they have to establish earlier on what type of villain Bowser is, they chose dorky villain. If Bowser is going to toe to toe with Ganon for example they should'nt be at the same villain status, to me it makes sense. I agree when I heard the 'Peaches' song it was a little much for me. I thought before I saw the film they'd have Jack do vocal lyrics to a metal-cover of Super Mario Castle theme or something.

[@qqqqqqqqqqqq121212]

I think the characterisation and direction of Bowser will be understood and appreciated a lot more by massive Mario fans - I loved Bowser here. I’ve come to realise recently that I don’t really care about general audiences - I get why it’s important to appeal to them, but I’m just happy they catered to me as a man child who’s played so much Mario over the past 25 years. Perhaps it’s in light of my horrific expectations, but I thought that was pretty anti-Illumination - so much of what those awful films are, wasn’t here. Not one fart joke! The licensed songs definitely are generic pics but I think I forgive them because they don’t over stay their welcome, they don’t play over dumb dance montages and my expectations for how it could have been were just so incredibly low for how that kinda thing might have played out. Hoping to see this do well, and I’m salivating about what they can do with the source material in the future!

Christ pratt and Charlie day were fantastic together. Needed more of them 😅 fingers crossed this will do well and we get more nintendo properties. Zelda movie 🤞

Looks amazing! And brings a lot of game stuff into the film for really fun sequences! I've mostly only played Mariokart and Party, so I'm definitely not an expert on the world and am sure there's so much more that i didn't catch! Solid story and characters! But do wish we got a bit more character building with Peach. I know she's already built into a hero by the time we see her, but would have liked a bit more from her, on the emotional side. And it all needed a little more time to breathe. Very rushed. Especially near the end. The setbacks for the heroes create interest. But before you can think "How will they overcome this?" They've already moved past it and turned the tables. A fun watch. And worth checking out, even as just an average Mario fan. But I do wish it was a bit more...Grand. 7.75 out of 10!

I don’t mind the short run time or the pop music. The thing with this movie you have to remember is even though it works as nostalgia for us adults it’s still a kids movie. I was watching it with my 10 year old son, and I was more into it than he was. I also usually go to the movie theater early in the day to avoid the crowds. Seeing it at night, with the crowds was basically a room full of little kids that was annoying. All that reminded me kids have short attention span’s and a movie that short worked perfect for them. Even though Bowser‘s motivation was corny at fit.

I do because it didn't fit with the scenes they were put in. This is a movie for everyone, not just kids. Plus kids deserve better anyways.

I just saw Sean's review for Air even if it was uploaded a couple days ago. I'm currently wearing my black Air Jordan hat and will wear my Air Jordan 13s Bred. My turquoise Nintendo Switch Lite is right next to me and I had a few rounds of Mario Kart 8: Deluxe using Baby Daisy on Mr. Scooty. I'll watch MJ and Mario on the same day. Michael Jordan and Nintendo helped raise me throughout the 80s and 90s. Bigger MJ fan than Nintendo fan. Glad this movie was a B but I'm hearing Air is the best movie of the year according to Sean and Kris Harloff. Kris said it's his favorite movie of the year. Anything associated with Michael Jordan is always great. Just not his Wizards years and his executive/ownership years. Ok, and maybe his baseball stint. I was a little surprised Sean and Kristian liked Air so much. I thought John Wick 4 would remain Sean's favorite movie of the year. I've never seen a single JW film yet but I've been seeing high praises from The Critical Drinker who loves to hate on current movies. Just so happy Ben Affleck hit it out of the park with Air. My Favorite Movies Of The Year Since 2018 2018: Avengers: Infinity War 2019: Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood 2020: Didn't have one. Pandemic. 2021: 8-Bit Christmas 2022: Elvis Top Gun: Maverick is the best movie of 2022 at least for me but Elvis was my favorite. I still love Top Gun: Maverick. Ranks in my top 30 favorite movies of all-time and one of the top 5 best I've seen during the last 20+ years. I'm only going to as far back as 2018 because that's when I started using Movie Pass before getting Regal Unlimited in 2019. My favorite movie of this century is really Once Upon A Time...In Hollywood. I replay it and listen to it like once a week sometimes. I listen to it as often as The Big Lebowski. I love the mostly chill vibe it has that first 2 hours. Hangout movies like that and Dazed And Confused (1993) are so replayable. I'll listen to a lot of Elvis as well. It's looking like Air or perhaps Flash will be my favorite movie of 2023. Only fitting it would be Air since it's '23.

whats weird about Bowser and Peach? is it because he's in love with her? because that has been part of the video games for awhile now and i don't think its weird at all

[@TheStinkMarketUpdate]

The most hilarious thing I was think was that, “I need a hero? First on Shazam 2, then in Tetris, (Nobody watched that, it’s amazing, watch it) now this? At this point I’m wondering who ACTUALLY needs a hero.”

[@evandercaldwell9993]

Sooooooooo hyped!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯🤗

[@toonlink1372]

maybe you dont play the games much but bowsers motive is very fitting. Super Mario Odyssey is all about him wanting to marry Peach, and a reoccurring theme in the series. idk why you're surprised by that aspect and i feel they did it well enough

[@Lupin1978]

This comment right here☝🏾

[@DerekSmith-vh5mo]

I disagree with you big time on bowser. Bowser kidnapping peach to marry her is a key plot point in many Mario games. It was actually tame here compared to some of the games

[@RyanCzaplinski]

Agreed. This movie was a ton of fun and completely blew away my expectations. Even the voice acting was a lot better than the taste we got in the trailers. The movie was excellent.

[@kill3rs529]

I'm not expecting anything special but I've grown up with Mario games the first being super Mario sunshine for the gamecube I really hope they have Easter eggs for fans.
